Hopefully it won't be for too long... ( his shoulders hunch in a little, not so much a shrug as it is that hunched over look he has when he walks sometimes, to make himself smaller ) not gonna lie, I was pretty unsure of myself too when I got here ( it takes him a moment to allow a genuine little smile, a soft look of relief ) but then I found out you guys were here too, and when we're all together--

( we can do anything might be the terribly cheesy thing that's about to spill from his mouth, but he catches himself at the last moment, as if a thought just struck him. ren laughs quietly at himself and cages his forehead in his hand. )

Together. Right. ( duh. of course. he lower his arm and looks to ann again. ) Hey, I just came up with something. Are you interested in a potentially stupid idea?

( i mean, when have any of their ideas not fallen squarely into that category... )
