[ Reiner waits patiently as Hijikata does whatever he does, gold eyes curiously watching the green sheen running over Hijikata's form. He doesn't interrupt or ask questions; he remains silent, letting Hijikata focus.
Honestly, Reiner hopes that it works. He'd rather save his Titan's power for an emergency. (Although, given the ominous rumbling of thunder and the very real threat of lightning, plus the fact that their only "shelter" is filling with water, he has to admit that this qualifies.)
Unfortunately, Hijikata's attempt fails. Reiner nods, then fishes out Panzer's pokéball and hands it to Hijikata. He has no idea how (or if) his transformation would affect Panzer if she stayed with him, and he doesn't want to find out. ]
All right. I'll go make us a roof. [ Then, as he stands: ] Gold lightning will strike nearby. Don't worry about it.
[ That said, Reiner turns and climbs up the slippery side of the hole, quickly disappearing beyond the edge.
Five seconds pass. Ten. Fifteen. Then—
BOOM!
The promised gold lightning strikes.
Reiner had jogged a fair distance away before transforming, not wanting to risk hurting Hijikata or damaging the newly created hole. But once the Armored begins walking back, each footfall resonating through the ground (though not quite as heavily as its appearance would suggest), it won't take long before Hijikata spots its blond hair, gleaming gold eyes, and heavily armored form. ]
