[For better or worse, Hijikata is so biased in Eren's favour, he wouldn't even think of interpreting anyone's mood sinking at the mention of him in any other way than them feeling sad for him!
He nods at Hange's elaboration regarding the Research Centre job option. He understands completely - much as he enjoys his job back home, being the Shinsengumi's Vice-Commander also means being responsible for a shitload of paperwork! For a researcher it's got to be even worse! And he certainly understands the draw of the quests, being a guild adventurer himself. As for why Levi told him about the Beast Titan, though--]
Oh, Levi didn't tell me voluntarily. We got trapped in one of those memory portals.
[He isn't sure if Hange participated in that battle - the memory only showed him Levi, the man who presumably ended up being succeeded by Hange as Commander, and a bunch of new recruits - but it turns out that he luckily doesn't have to elaborate.
He listens intently as Hange explains what's behind that injection which Levi was trying to find a survivor for in that memory. This is actually the first time someone tells him that the walled city is on an island, and suddenly the isolation of the people there from the rest of their world makes a lot more sense - but the rest of what Hange says, the actual answer to his question, only leaves him more confused.]
Eldians..? But you're humans, right? So you have different genes from the rest?
