Since I knew that sitting here wasn’t going to give me any answers, I decided to ask the man himself. I knocked on his door until he told me to ‘come in’. Reiner was sitting behind his desk when I entered his office.
“Umm…is there anything that I can help you out with today?” I asked as I stood in front of his desk.
“No,” Reiner replied without looking up from the document that he was reading.
He seemed busy enough. Was there really nothing that I could help him out with?
“How about some coffee…or tea?” I offered hesitantly.
Or me?
Ok, that’s an old joke that’s not funny in this situation. It wasn’t like I could play that joke on Reiner. I sighed at how useless I apparently was.
“Coffee…” he said without looking my way.
“Ok. Please wait a moment,” I replied enthusiastically.
