[That sounds much more like the kind of thing Shun's familiar with. Duelists tend to value their entire deck equally, even if they have one particular monster they use more than others, and he inclines his head in understanding of the sentiment.
That's about all he has time to do, though, because of what happens as soon as Ren makes contact with the card in his hand. The sudden flash of pink in Ren's eyes makes Shun's gaze dart up to meet them immediately, eyes narrowing in some mix of wariness and concern - but it also means he's looking Ren full in the face when the change occurs. Even if he wasn't so good at picking things up in his peripheral vision, the similarity to the card in both their hands would be impossible to miss, and his eyes widen a little as he lets the card go in his moment of surprise.
As soon as it leaves contact, the image vanishes, and Shun is left with the remnants of shock still lingering on his face...shock that's definitely not entirely negative, or even mostly negative. If it wasn't for the fact that it was him, one might confuse him for being momentarily awestruck.
Of course, it only takes him a moment to put together what that must have been, why Ren looked so startled, and why he's so obviously avoiding the subject. His momentary lapse in expression vanishes in favour of something more serious, though no less concerned than he'd looked at the outset.]
An ace can just be a card you rely on a lot, whether it's a key part of your strategy or your main path to whatever stronger option works best for that duel. [But that's all the concession Ren's getting on his attempt to avoid the subject, and after a moment's pause, he continues in a tone soft enough that there's no chance anyone but the two of them would hear it.] This is what you meant when you talked about that power connecting you to the other planet, isn't it?
[He doesn't want to push too hard, especially given what Ren's told him about that power before, but he doesn't feel like completely ignoring the occurrence is going to help anyone here, least of all Ren.]
