Throughout the awkward pause, Reiner continues to control his breathing, refusing to bow to fear-driven impulses. Even so, he can't help but wonder if this level of staring can possibly be normal. It must be an intimidation tactic, right? Or does Levi stare at everyone like this?

Reiner nearly turns down the offered tea, preferring coffee now that it's readily available in this world. However, he thinks better of it. Any hot beverage is better than nothing. He doesn't think that Levi would poison him, either. (And if Levi were to try it, Reiner doubts it would be with Gabi around.)

"Sure," he says. Then, again, "Thanks."
