[forethinking]

(As she speaks, Ren allows his thoughts to make associations. That it is her nature, he has always expected and known - partly why he expected her to find reasons upon seeing things, like everything pulled at the jealousy in her heart.

He isn't sure if the list of qualities she's listing is for him, so there's a little quirk of his brows.

Oso... Ren can only hope his disappearance meant that he went home. He has already searched the Void, bit by bit, but no blood or limb was found. Not even a voice. With a sigh, he finally speaks.)

I don't expect you not to be. Those things take time.

[In the case of that list, it was more 'general' than about him specifically. There were elements of so many people. But that wasn't actually important to understand. He 'got it,' she was pretty sure.

A sigh and she reached out to flick at his nose.]

Still, I'm trying. And that's your fault in part. It just... yeah. Don't need to repeat it.

It's also kind of weird when people complement me. I'm not used to them meaning it.

(He's happy he has influenced her into breaking her habits, he won't lie, and for a fraction of a second, he may even look smug as he fixes his glasses.)

People seem genuine here, for the most part.

[bridge_princess]

Almost to a fault at times. Though, there's one or two that are pretty cunning about everything.

[Look, she wasn't going to say Akechi. She was just going to look at Ren with a knowing look and THINK IT VERY HARD.]

(He got the message, thanks... Nothing he can say but the following:)

To each their own, I guess.

Too much work by my standards. I'll take just being me under normal circumstances. [grunt] Being cunning's kind of a lot of effort because you have to seem dumb when you're really smart.

Whaaaatever.

[forethinking]

(He laughs after she drags the last word.)

Other than all this, all good?

[bridge_princess]

Other than the persistent sensation of waiting for the other shoe to drop? I'm doing just ducky. No real problems, and I seem to be coping for the moment.

It makes me think something'll come up soon enough, but for now I'm ok.
