[ It isn't the first time a person's attitude has abruptly shifted after Reiner introduced himself. For that reason, he isn't too surprised by the widening of her eyes or the way her brow furrows. However, his shoulders tense again, the warmth in his gold eyes fading, expression settling somewhere between neutral and wary.
How many people have heard about him through his enemies? How many people know of his deeds but lack all context? Not for the first time, Reiner keenly feels his disadvantage in this world, surrounded by enemies with no other Warriors in sight.
He is surprised when she doesn't immediately condemn him, blinking twice before he composes himself. ]
I don't intend to.
[ Reiner could say more. He could explain that he's helping Jean train; he could confess his distress when he saw the scars on Jean's chest; he could say that he's trying to keep Jean alive. He could even tell her about his attempts to form a non-aggression pact between his side and Jean's. Instead, Reiner simply states his intent.
It's not a promise, but it's as close to one as Reiner can currently give. ]
😂 his name is very distracting!
