[Then this guy is yet another Void-dweller from Ren’s home too. Iwa can accept rivals as a valid starting point for what he’s assuming is some sort of friendship - anything beyond that would be none of his business anyway, so he makes no assumptions. As much as he might not like this Akechi guy (based solely on this shitty first impression, mind you), he won’t sneeze at the fact that Ren has someone from home here, and honestly, it’s hard not to be a little jealous. He doesn’t mean to sound so bitter when he says:]
Must be nice to have him around then. [He realizes how shitty that might have sounded as he clears his throat, raps his knuckles awkwardly on the table. He turns his attention back to Ren.] I’ve got all I need back at my place. But thanks. I appreciate it.
[With that, he takes to picking at the curry in front of him without quite taking a bite. How did this get so awkward all of a sudden?]
