[He thinks about arguing. Even opens his mouth to do it. To ask if a creature like that really has the capacity for justice—he'd only seen the one corpse, after all—to ask about the long history of attacks the people here were defending themselves from. (Attacks? Or counterattacks? It's not like they've got the full story.)
Eren's nothing if not painfully aware of how narrow the scope of his experiences are. He'd felt it back home, where he was penned in within walls, kept ignorant of the world they lived in out of necessity for survival. Here, worlds away from everything he'd known, surrounded by people from a hundred other dimensions, he's realizing that the world is exponentially wider than he'd ever imagined.
He's not exactly convinced. But they've got time to try and figure this out, and he'll turn it over in his head while they do. Food for thought.
Something else catches at his immediate attention, anyway. As he holds the torch out over the abyss to search for handholds, there's a shuffle of sound and a spark of light at the bottom of the cavern. Too bright to be a reflection from his torch.]
