Eren catches that movement, Reiner coming just a little closer. Suits him just fine. (Of course there is no blood on his hands, not visibly, only the psychological remnants of what has been and what might/could/will be. Lucky them.)
He thinks back. Reiner had a bunch of shit with him when they went camping, but…
"Kinda," he says, which is true. He meets Reiner's gaze, green to gold. His eyes go a little wide at the explanation.
This is a hell of a thing to give a boy who proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's capable of ending the world. Not only capable, but he will do so. Not here. He hopes he never has to. But in Eren's mind, it's still no choice, even seeing what he told Armin in the end.
Nothing can hurt you, Reiner says. Not even a Titan.
Not even me, he means. Reiner, Galliard, even Armin, none of them could do anything if he had that pin active — a fact that Reiner knows, and gives it to him anyway.
He looks back down at the pin for a second.
"I got it. Thank you," he says, which is maybe a bit understated for the gravity of what it is, what it means. There's that trust kink, filling him with emotions he can't put words to.
