Gabi grimaces. She's pretty sure the reason she's talking so much about nothing (besides, y'know, her feelings about Falco being something she thinks about a lot) is because she's afraid the second she stops, Reiner is, for real this time, gonna be furious with her. First she's talking about not breaking down the wall, now she's saying Levi is her best friend. She wanted to coax him into this stuff slowly, but that just hasn't happened at all. He must be so confused and so angry.

She's so wrapped up in it that she doesn't notice how scared he looks, rather than anything approaching anger. She doesn't really look at him again until he speaks, repeating the name she had said. Falco's. She realizes quickly that he...probably doesn't know anything about Falco, either. And then she's blushing for a different reason as Reiner's hand goes to...somewhere around his own knee.

"Well, if I didn't hang onto your shirt, that was usually when you left..." She murmurs, rubbing her own arm. That's the main thing she remembers of Reiner from her youth. That he was gone, no doubt to Warrior training, so often, before he was gone-gone and she wouldn't see him again for years and years.

"....yeah. You actually..." She rubs her head, still embarrassed. "You and Falco got along so well, I got pretty jealous of it sometimes. I was always thinking something like 'where does he get off trying to take the Armor from me and cozy up to Reiner like that?!'" Back when she'd considered anything that got in the way of inheriting the Armor to be her enemy. When she'd been so determined to get it, partially because she just...wanted to be connected to Reiner through it so badly. She looks up. "You guys even had some promise between you...he never told me what it was, though."

In the three years since she'd heard about it, she could make a few guesses, but, they were just that.
