[The embarrassment, that is. Ren might be mostly comfortable in his sexuality, but he's extremely understanding for others. When it comes to speaking about it to his close friends however...he shuffles a bit before answering.]
I have. Both by choice and...highly encouraged during the moons.
[Of course he has. She doesn't even know why she'd asked. He's charming and handsome and a natural people person. There'd be no way he wouldn't have. She shouldn't feel jealous.
It hurts a little, even if she knows it shouldn't.] Well, knowing you, I'm certain that whomever you chose must've been a wonderful person! [She says with a slightly brittle smile.]
[While she doesn't say it, Ren is observant. The little bit of hesitation. Maybe it's just his imagination, however. He has to bite his tongue when she mentions a 'wonderful' person. He wouldn't call of them like that.]
Hifumi is wonderful, yes...but not the only one.
[He looks down at his own coffee and smiles.]
Thank you. Coming from you, it is a high compliment.

As always, Ren's coffee is incredible.] I'm glad to hear that, then. N, not that I'm embarrassed or anything! It's just that I'm.

She does seem sweet. It's not a lie. But what does she have that Haru doesn't?
Haru feels guilty for even briefly considering that. Hifumi's kind. She shouldn't be jealous.]
How long did you brew it for?
