on people being nice and this dumb adorable fandom (and spoilers)

[schild]

Mun, don't--- hey, don't get teary-eyed over something like that! Well, I mean... you can, that's totally up to you, but just know I'm here for you, okay? Your hold on me isn't as bad as you think!

But really, I was pretty great this episode, huh? Even with steam coming off my face, I'd say I did pretty good. Things are moving faster than you thought, huh?

[toobig]

You... said Annie had a nice ass.

[sweetjeans]

Dude, the way you, like, cut out of that titan's hands and stuff-

...and!

I thought you were a total goner BUT THEN!!

You like-

DIDN'T, and I was all "HOLY SHIT" and you where all "IN COMES THE BRAUN" and we got Armin's ass and get the hell of of there and WOOW!

[Didn't notice your steam bro, to busy fanboying for a second]

...Not that I couldn't handle myself or anything, because I was fine.

[schild]

Well, I mean, it's not like you see many titans who look like her.

And I had to keep my cover okay.<s?

[schild]

Hah, well I wasn't ranked second for nothing!

[ YEAH REINER'S SUCH A BADASS. ]

I'd say I'm a lot tougher than I look, but I look pretty damn tough already.

[toobig]

I'm just thinking...

That'd she would be...

Really mad...

[schild]

She's always mad, though.

[toobig]

But... she'd be really mad.

[schild]

Well, no one's gonna tell her... are you?

[sweetjeans]

Armin total owes US for saving him!

I mean, did you see me? I was pretty badass too.

[toobig]

I think... everyone knows...

[schild]

Yeah, you did a good job! I was surprised you pulled it of as well as you did.

[schild]

She kinda did already get her revenge on me though....

[sweetjeans]

[Stroking his ego, huh team dad?]

Of course, I'm professional tier at least.

You're like, over-grown bara tier so I get a handicap~

[toobig]

Flipping you in training doesn't... really count, Reiner.

[schild]

[ Always! Isn't that what friends are for? ]

[ He snorts. ]

Is that why Armin had to save you? Cause of your handicap?

[schild]

She did kind of smush me to a pulp, too.

[toobig]

[Sighs.]

Yeah, I guess.

I just don't want... her to get angry... at us.

[Because even if he wasn't there, he is by extension at fault as well.]

[sweetjeans]

[These two...]

What?! No-I didn't, I mean-He didn't..!

Shut up!!

[schild]

Uh-huh. Okay, Jean. Sure thing.

[schild]

I know. I know, just... We have to keep up our end too, right? Like I said. I have to keep my cover.

[toobig]

So that's why you always say stupid things?

[schild]

I-I don't always say stupid things!

[toobig]

You know what I mean...!

[schild]

UH, well, yeah--I guess. Sure.

[toobig]

Do you?

[schild]

Gimme, uh, one example of some of the stupid stuff I say...?

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

[toobig]

Like... When you said I liked Annie.

Or... that you... liked Christa.

AND REINER'S TO BLAME

[schild]

O-oh.

[ UHM.... ]

Y-you know that's... I mean... that's... God, I wish that were acting, Bertl. It's better than the truth...

[toobig]

What do you mean...?

I... Reiner, I wish I could understand...

[schild]

I don't always... get it myself.

When I say those things, I'm not... me. I'm Reiner the soldier, not the warrior.

W-wait, I mean... the opposite of that.

[toobig]

Reiner...

[He looks so worried, and tired.]

I just-- want you to be Reiner... my best friend, Reiner...

[schild]

Me too.
