[It's probably stupid, but Kyna is a little shocked by how many worried messages she wakes up to. It's reassuring in a strange way, but also oddly guilt-inducing.]
[ he's teasing, probably. when she shows up he's already behind the bar, wiping down the corners. he's not in any rush, no matter how late in the evening that it is (or early in the morning).
[Kyna just sends some stupid emoji back and heads to the bar. It's a good thing it's pretty much deserted—she's feeling so strange and unmoored that she doesn't really want to be around strangers right now. Seeing Ren, though, soothes her immediately. Rather than sit down, she slips behind the bar and hugs him tight.]
[ he's so intent on cleaning that he almost doesn't notice her until she's in his space. there's no hesitation in returning the hug once she nabs him, and he settles easily with his arms around her shoulders. in the brief contact there's a little emotion: both relief and fondness mingle. contact like this is easy for him, and there's an underlying warmth that always seems to defy his placid expression. ]
[His emotions mirror hers perfectly, except there's an underlying current of anxiety thrown in the mix. This whole thing has thrown her off, and she's not sure how Ren managed to stay so calm when it happened to him.]
[ he does know exactly what she's accusing him of. honestly, while Ren's got his own sturdy moral compass, that doesn't mean it doesn't make room for some more questionable practices. ]
Too worried? [ he seems to pause, because he's thinking that over. ] Maybe at first.

Hey. You owe me a dumb picture of Strange.
no subject
Huh?
[ maybe he already forgot.
don't be a ditz, Ren. ]
no subject
You said you had a picture of Strange to show me. You'd never lie to me, right?
no subject
Sure.
[ whatever that's a response to.
he's going back to get some curry while she makes herself comfortable on one of the stools. ]
no subject
Ren. Are you a liar?
no subject
[ as he makes her a nice dinner! wow, Kyna. ]

[But... okay. Time for a little detour into seriousness.]
You weren't... you know. Too worried. Right?
no subject

After that, it's kind of lonely.
[ even if it's just one person. ]
