[This is frontdated a bit, possibly more than a bit depending when will the planned Ren mission take place.]

[Ren's ever-present smile has a conflicted tint to it now, and they're not even trying to hide it. Instead, have an explanation of what's going on.]

Not too long ago, I received a message from Mark. Do you remember Mark? He's my... well, you could say he's my boyfriend. He doesn't get a lot of leave but there is an opening soon.

So we're setting up a date. A lot of serious, sad things happened recently and it made me think. I didn't even tell Mark who I really am. I wanted to use this opportunity to tell him, but now...

[Getting cold feet, it seems.]

Excuse me. Do you have a moment? It's about the date.

[Related to above, Ren seeks some advice. Non-grumpy or depressed/troubled people this time, though!

The horned individual opens a colorful book. What is this, a fashion catalogue? The opened page reveals a very... poofy, pastel pink dress, full of frills and ribbons.]

Would this fit me? I think it might be a bit too girly for me... perhaps I should just wear a suit.

No, he shouldn't. At least that's what I hope.

Is this why you said a suit might not be appropriate?

[63rd_shockwave]

No, it's just a little formal and kind of intimidating...and, you don't seem like a suit kind of person, is the thing.

Maybe a simple dress, if you're trying to look more feminine. Or t-shirt, jeans and a jacket if you want to seem more manly.

[jianai]

Your sense of style is rather casual, isn't it? I don't mean it as a bad thing mind you.

[63rd_shockwave]

Yeah, I guess so. It's my fate to never really be a...'rules' sort of person.

[jianai]

Fate, you say. Don't you think that by accepting it, you adhere to at least one rule?

Ah, we're getting out of topic here.
