I think he does. Here is my reasoning: He drinks calming tea, because if he didn’t, his badass self would probably go INSANE on all the stupidity that goes around the 104th training division. In his insanity, he might actually start mistaking tall (taller than 5’3” or so) humans for titans, and end up going on a huge killing sprees while on missions. So yes, he does drink tea.

I learned in psych that one of the factors of attraction is how often you visually see someone or how physically close you are to them distance wise.

Seems like an obvious thought, but it’s the magnitude of the effect that is interesting to me.
