[Frankly, that almost awed expression just makes it worse. It makes him want even more to share this with Shun and see just how awed he can get. It makes it feel like it's not a bad thing that he slipped. Ren determinedly keeps his eyes trained on anything else as he tucks his cards away.

Until Shun continues on in that more secretive tone, and then Ren finally turns his head back toward him, although his gaze is still on something other than Shun's face, like his shoulder. He would have been a lot happier if Shun had just let him ignore it...probably.]

Sometimes. It doesn't usually mean taking on the form of one of my units outside a fight, but I was already trying to get into his mindset a little...

[Or maybe he was feeling enough like he did during Vanguard fights to trick it when he touched his card. Or it was just that stupid half-wish for Shun to see how cool he could be. Maybe it was all of the above.

Ren finally chances a glance up at Shun's face. Shun had thought so highly of his determination not to use that power at all. If he's disappointed now, Ren doesn't really want to see it but he kind of wants to know anyway.]

I'm sorry. I must have been getting into it more than I thought. I didn't mean to do that.
