Shun looks a little flat at the offer for a moment, like he's not quite sure how to react, but...well, as it happens, Thursday and Saturday are two of the days that freed up quite considerably after a certain person disappeared. And if there's anything he could put that time forward to that Ren would appreciate...

In the end, he nods, expression serious again but still sincere enough. "I think I can manage that. Though you might have to introduce me to some more casual decks. It's been a while since I've played outside of a competitive area."

A half-truth, but accurate enough to describe his position as regards casual play. The kid doesn't seem perturbed, though, nodding happily, and the one who Shun beat in the semi-finals speaks up.

"Well, what was that thing you said to me earlier? 'Playing what you like and still doing well makes you a strong player'? I think that's a good attitude for casual play, right?"
