[When Reiner lands, Hijikata looks at the curled-up, eerily illuminated titan again. With its wielder not inside, it seems like a corpse, and while a dead titan should be a good titan, it's still fucking creepy!! He opts to turn away from it and focus on his companion.]
Take your outerwear off; I'll dry it.
[If Reiner complies, he'll float his clothes about as well. The levitation- and fire magic will eat up a good amount of his mana (and he has to pay attention to not accidentally burn the clothing, too), but it'll be worth being dry and warm again after the storm is over. Right now, the fire is keeping the pit at a cosy enough temperature that they won't have to shiver without the extra layers.
The flames illuminate Reiner's face, making the marks stand out. Just like with Eren. Suddenly, he remembers what Hange told him - that titan shifters have a significantly reduced life expectancy.]
...
How old were you when you became a titan shifter?
[Hopefully that question isn't too uncomfortable. He has no plans of pressing Reiner about his and the others' mission again; he's learned what he needed to. He just wonders how long he has left to live. Big and tall as he is, he can't be older than Jean and Eren. Those who became titan shifters really were so desperate that they didn't care about throwing most of their lives away, weren't they?]
