[Armin's expression is hard and angry, but his words are clear and considered.]
I want to make something clear. It's true that Eren may not have acted well with respect to learning red magic. But those spells Malik keeps going on about - ripping someone's heart out, or giving them cursed wounds - those are things Malik can do, not things Eren can. Eren has not and would never attempt to learn such things.
His most powerful spell gives him the ability to fly. His most dangerous spell lights his blades on fire. Neither are things Malik considered or even bothered to learn before mentally violating Eren and Mikasa with a forcible interface after seeing Eren flying. He has said since - openly, on the network - that it was somehow his only option short of ripping Eren's heart out.
[Ripping Eren's heart out - because the boy learned how to fly. Armin falls silent for a moment, as he lets Malik's words speak for themselves.]
Even if I understand why Malik acted the way he did, it does not excuse his actions. And Eren is not careless or vicious with his power, as Malik is trying to make him out to be.

I, I don't mean to. It's just... [He trails off, his hold on Jean tightening ever-so-slightly.]
It's too much. I don't know if I can do this. If I can keep this up. [His voice is barely audible, and he shakes his head, not pulling away]

[It's a bit generic of a thing to say, but he doesn't know what all Armin is dealing with. It's genuine though, despite being like that.]
You have to feel tired though. Want to take a nap before attempting any kinds of lessons?

[Who knows, he might fall asleep as well, for a while, but mostly he'll just be there.]
