[No bullying necessary to make Armin give information in this situation. Titans are a simple fact of life in their world. Talking about them would be like talking about the sun or the moon. It is just something that is. Which is why his voice is neutral as he speaks, like someone talking about dry old history.]
Back where I am from, Titans aren't a myth, nor are they anything close to gods. They are... [Monsters. Humans.] mysterious creatures that appeared in our world about a century ago. They roughly resemble humans, though they never quite look right. Most Titans stand anywhere between three and fifteen meters tall, though exceptions have been recorded. To be honest, there is a lot about Titans we don't know. We don't know where they come from, or why they behave as they do, or even exactly how they survive. The only thing we know for certain is that Titans have an insatiable appetite for devouring humans, despite lacking the internal organs needed to actually digest them. When they suddenly appeared a century ago, they nearly destroyed all of humankind. All except those who managed to find refuge behind the Walls.
[Except that is not true, is it? Not according to what Annie told him. According to her, humanity was still out there in large numbers. Much of what he has just told this man is completely false. And yet he repeats it. It can't be known he knows these things. Not that it would make a difference to this man, but it might get back to Jean or the others, and then Armin would have to explain how he knows what he knows.]
"you too old to run anyway."
