@wildxcardrebel "...I knew that."
She crosses her arms, huffing a bit. Yet a smirk creeps up her face.
"This my birthday present, Renren? A bunch o' sass?"
Now she's smiling wider.
@wildxcardrebel "Wh— But you just said I... oh, nevermind." She grumbles, eyes looking anywhere but his face.
That 'sunburn' is getting redder being called out like this.
@wildxcardrebel "I am?? I mean—"
She shoves her hands in her hoodie pockets, trying very hard to look nonchalant about it.
"'Course I'm sunburnt. It's summer and I've been tryin' ta keep up runnin' every day. Probably got a lil burnt from it."
...It's definitely not a sunburn.
"Oh, GEEZ!!!"
She almost squeaks as her giant persona swoops her up into a surprise hug!
"Whu— Don't act so surprise!! I AM grown up, Cap'n, GEEZ!!"
She hugs him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. And... she definitely noticed his proud tears.
@wildxcardrebel "Oi, I'm not—hrmph!"
She's cut off as Ren lifts her in the air with his hug!
"A-aight, aight, fine! I'm a dork. But I'm also the birthday dork! No need to squeeze the air outta me!"
She feebly hugs him back while off the ground, face going a lil' red.
Hoh~? Is she perhaps intrigued by the prospect?
It's nothing special, really. Just some of the finest, expensive cuts of beef, chicken, and other meats, lavish spreads of delicious noodles...Need he go on?
“Oi, c’mon! You just can’t help yerself n' give me sass, huh Renren?”
Her words have the usual bark, but she’s smiling from ear to ear. It wouldn’t be the same without their usual banter, and she clearly appreciated it.
She takes the bucket of chicken he hands her and -
LAN Party happened. He could not help but feel a certain nervous around her.
It would only be a matter of time before he would get used to it.
"How about the park?"

follows suit. “The park? Oh, uh… yeah sure! Let’s make it a picnic, why not?”
A brief awkward yet giddy laugh sounds after she states this… Seems she too may still be unsure how to act towards Ren after conversions were spilled that fateful night at her apartment. -
@wildxcardrebel “I guess I lost track of time… huh.” She blinks, the realization settling in and she glances up at him.
“Sorry. Hope I didn’t worry you too much, Renren.”
She definitely missed the teasing.
- "...Wait, is all that for me?? You don't expect me ta be able to eat ALL of that, do ya, Renren?!"
She could eat a lot, but not THAT much!
"Please tell me you are gonna help me try n' kill through all this!"
She hadn't even noticed the chicken right away. She was too busy trying to look nonchalant as she crept over next to him, so she had been looking anywhere but directly at him.
When she finally glanced over, she blinked a few times in speechless silence. -
large enough to obscure his face.
He could have gone for roses and a fine dinner. As he would for a proper lady. But he already knew better than this.
"Happy one-year-closer-to-retirement day! We got work to do..."

Ryuka very obviously slinks over and leans against the wall next to where Ren is standing. Super lounging out, looking very smug about something. Maybe even looking like she's expecting something today of all days...
"Sup, Renren."
