[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.

Malik… just had to watch and live through thousands dying because of a power given to us. My dungeon made him go through my life. That power is just as dangerous as Red Magic, if not more, even if individual skills that can be learned because of it are innocuous, or even helpful, like healing. But comrade turned on comrade, or enemies became even more bitter because of it. Out of all those thousands, only six survived.
That knowledge and memories are a burden Malik must carry now. I wouldn’t wish that burden on those I consider enemy, and I am sorry that one I call comrade must deal with it.
This does not excuse that Malik acted rashly, but I hope it gives you context for his fears.
As for the skills I mentioned, Makajamon will seal your skills and magic for a time. Neither of you would be able to use Red Magic under its effects. Dormina puts you to sleep. This would give me time to call your comrades, and the rest of Malik’s, so that we may mediate the conflict once you’ve both awoken. That might not truly stop conflict, but I hope it would at least stall it temporarily.
