[Well, as much as it is amusing to watch Hibiki try to dig himself out of this situation, Maria isn't cruel enough to try and keep him here if he doesn't want to be.]

Be my guest. But even so, not everyone takes the time to voice that sort of thing, so I can still be flattered.

It's not widespread technology, actually, so overall I don't think it would be better than where you're from.

[He will definitely be taking that as positively as possible, especially since its a nice change from the various photographers who informed him of his "good side" in the first place, so that comment just gets a pleased hum out of him.

Or maybe its the way Shun freezes when he's the one having his personal space be invaded. It's probably both.

As for why he's "making a big deal out of it"...well, for one thing, Shun is really the one who started it, as far as he's concerned, but also...]

Because I keep imagining the look on Asaka's face if she were here to see this. She'd have a heart attack.

[Shun is apparently still in the process of inspecting the side of Ren's face - even though his actual gaze is more in the area of Ren's neck now - but his brow furrows a bit when Ren mentions that name. He's heard Ren mention a few of his friends by now, but he doesn't recall this being one of them.]

Sounds like an overreaction. But I don't have any idea if that's normal for her anyway, if she's another one of your friends from home. [Some people just overreact to everything. Or at least overreact by Shun's standards.]

[Ren hums a little in agreement that it would be an overreaction, but he just looks incredibly fond as he thinks about it. Asaka just wouldn't be Asaka if she didn't overreact to things like someone else bringing him coffee--or, in this case, Shun grabbing his chin and getting very, very close to his face.]

Ah, Asaka is very fond of me, and she gets jealous of the people I like very easily. She'd definitely be trying to kill you with her eyes from across the room.

Best to strike while the iron's hot, I say.

Thanking you kindly, miss. I'd say you're prolly an 8 yourself. Fairly cute.

Can't help meself with the glasses, mate. They're more for function, really.

[ And a faint scoff. ]

Come on, I can't be built like a bloody tanker! Fairly lean enough gets the work done. 'Sides... I can lift a mower up no problem.

Really, mate? That's supposed to be a charm point?

[ Trying not to laugh. ]

I'd say you're a 7, at least. Maybe if you fixed yourself up a bit, you'd garner an 8 but I suppose there's someone out there who's into that.

[As stunted as Shun might be on the front of romance, there's only one kind of "fond of" he can think of that usually triggers that kind of behaviour, and he gives a very faint scoff as he tilts up a little again, this time more obviously looking at Ren's neck and throat.]

If she's in love with you, then she needs to learn what's actually worth getting jealous about. There's a difference between friendly and romantic behaviour. [He thinks. Probably. Either way, this isn't what he'd consider worth getting jealous about.]

[Well, don't mind him but he'll just be casually brushing his hair back from his neck so Shun can have a better look. For research purpose, of course.

And wow he actually caught on to that much...and then completely missed why that would make Asaka jealous of what is going on right now. Like, Ren is under no illusions as to Shun's intentions here, but to anyone passing by this would not look like "friendly" behavior. He might not think about this sort of thing much either, but he at least knows that.

...Maybe he should be nice and finally enlighten him to that.]

Kurosaki, of those options, I don't think "friendly" is the one this looks like.

[Well, if Ren's letting him continue then he sees no reason to stop, and as Ren moves his hair, Shun turns a little so he can get a better view. There's not really much left to look at, honestly, but since they're in the middle of a conversation he might as well use that space to cover more ground, so to speak.

When Ren makes that remark, though, Shun stops in his tracks. He doesn't exactly look outright surprised, but he does look a little wrong-footed...however, he also doesn't move back any, instead just turning his attention back to Ren's face.]

If you think it looks like that, you could've stopped me from doing it. [...Okay, so he didn't actually ask, but he would've backed off if Ren had been uncomfortable with it.]
