Armin's voice is pitched high with surprise, though he almost immediately flushes once the name is out his mouth. He had been encouraging Marco to travel, and he still thinks he should, but knowing he'll be travelling with Annie? The one who had his gear and who is the Female Titan? That certainly makes something coil tight in his stomach.
But he can't say that. He can't let them know what he knows. He made a promise and seeing as that Annie has been living up to her part of the bargain so far, he should do the same thing. But can he let Marco travel with her? She had said that she didn't mean trouble, especially when that was meaningless in this world, but could he depend on that?
And crap, Jean and Marco are undoubtedly looking at him right now, what with his high-pitched outburst of surprise. He needs some way to cover his reaction. Anything.
"I-- I'm surprised! Annie always was such a lone wolf. I expected she'd be travelling alone."
