Hmm, well, I think it does. [Ren leaves it at that, though, because he knows defeated when he hears it. Usually he has quite a bit of fun hearing it, but when it's just a battle of words it's a little bit less entertaining on his end.

Ren hums a little doubtfully at Dylas' summation of himself, though.] Is there a reason you can't be both...? You don't seem bad to me, just a little grumpy, and I always think it helps more for grumpy people to meet a friendly face once in a while. If everyone's grumpy all the time then it just makes for more grumpy.

[And that's his extremely simply-put explanation of why he's friendly to people he doesn't know well. For the most part, at least, but he hasn't met anyone here just yet worthy of immediate cold behaviour.] And it still seems sad to stay lonely if you don't have to be.
