[Hijikata is used to the lightning from questing with Eren, but when he hears the Armoured Titan's heavy footsteps and, moments later, sees it loom above the hole he's in, he can't help but glare up at it. Despite never having seen others' memories of it, he can imagine how scared the civilians in Trost were when it broke through the wall that protected them.
Reiner could easily just stomp him, but Hijikata knows it would do the titan boy no good. Even if Reiner were a sadistic or vindictive kind of person, it just wouldn't be worth having to deal with Hijikata's bitching and Jean's and the others' disappointment 3 days later. He trusts him to do as he said and park the titan overhead. If anything, he has some doubts about its huge, heavy body slumping down onto them while Reiner is outside and can't control it... but Reiner probably took that into consideration.]
