Eren makes a half-amused little scoff at that. Imagine pulling a canon out of someone. Maybe if they were titans that would make sense; there'd be plenty of room then. But today they're just boys, as much as they ever can be.
Reiner's betrayal felt deep when he was 15. But the person Reiner betrayed most was always himself, wasn't it, shattering into pieces, trying to be someone else entirely, all of it? Yes, they had lived together. Yes, they had trained and fought together. But Reiner was true to his mission in the end. The betrayal part was…complicated.
Other than that, Eren hasn't actually known Reiner to lie to him on purpose. Under circumstances where Reiner had real choices, he doesn't think Reiner would ever have gone against him. That's as close to trust as he knows how to come, but it's enough.
"Somehow I doubt we're gonna pull cannons out. Doesn't seem easy to wield one. Too stationary." Of course he's mostly talking out his ass since he has no idea how this works.
"How do we know?" he asks. "I mean, which one of us takes a weapon from the other?"
