oookay

[Their discussion before may have rung a few alarm bells. Simon had been so cocky in that moment, acting reckless because the thirst for power was just too great. He had assumed that Ren's passive nature made him easy to use for information gathering purposes, but perhaps he is more of a threat than Simon had initially thought.]

i uh

[It's strange.

Nobody's really cared or bothered to look into his interests. Even Grace, his best friend, is clearly not too thrilled about his less adventurous hobbies. The teasing is affectionate, sure, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't get to him from time to time.

What are these conflicting emotions? Simon isn't sure that he likes them.]

like to make things

[variate]

[ the truth of the matter is that Ren is difficult to deter. while he has a tendency to be agreeable, he also bites.

may as well cut to the chase. ]
