[ Reiner nods again, somehow keeping his gaze from flicking to Gabi. He has more to tell his cousin than a "hello" from Hange, but who knows, maybe Gabi appreciates it.
His lips twitch in amusement as he asks, ]
Are you wondering if I'm another Summer? [ He shakes his head. ] I'm Autumn. Woke up in a forest feeling like it was exactly where I was meant to be.
[ What a wonderful, fleeting feeling it was.
Then he hesitates for a second. Hange is eccentric, he knows, but maybe it wouldn't be bad to share his thoughts? Another olive branch of sorts. ]
… Personally, I think the magic chooses people tied to significant events. [ He shrugs. ] But you're the researcher, not me.
Autumn? So it isn't fire, or water.. It's different from Eren's..
[They're mumbling to themselves more than directing it towards the video. Maybe, just maybe, they can sort all of this mess out and become friends and then the important things can begin. Namely, attempting to convince Reiner to go through the same experiments Eren did. What do autumn powers mean for titan transformations? Oh, the possibilities!]
[It's Reiner's next words that finally pull the Commander out of that little daydream.]
Significant events? [...Huh. They hadn't thought of it that way. It's true there have been plenty of significant events, but not all have been present for them. Then again, with how time works, just because they shared a specific moment together doesn't mean they would be pulled from that same point.. Hange had been so focused on the points of time themselves, they had admittedly glossed over the fact that perhaps it is easy to pick the person, but not their particular place on the timeline.]
Significant events... maybe when their own world has been is peril....

[Huh. it's certainly an avenue to explore...]

[ If nothing else, it may give them a better idea of who might appear from their world. ]
Thanks for hearing me out, Commander, and sorry for interrupting your meal. I'll let you get back to it.
[ Right now, he wants to check on his cousin. ]

[In fact now that the tension is over, Hange goes right back to munching on the food beside them.]
I'll send you a message when I have an update. Talk to you later, Reiner.
[Likewise, Hange wants to deal with the inevitable conversation that is about to happen the moment the feed ends....]
