[Ren doesn't seem fazed at all by being called out, his smile merely widening slightly into something more amused.] Hmm, I don't know what you mean by that at all...
[Arguably, this is also the "real" him, just exaggerated. Ren considers himself to have multiple faces that are just as real as each other, even if some are highly unlikely to court him any favour with anyone and thus tend to be set away until he knows them better.]
But I'd be glad to have a friend as interesting as you. [Even if it might take him a while to reach that level of trust, Ren does have a good idea of the type of people he'd like to have as friends, and Iskandar fits that quite well.]
