[For something as urgent as this, there's an awfully long pause as Ren types out things and then deletes them and then hems and haws over sending anything at all, until he finally decides on this:]
actually i think we should talk in person. can you come up to my room?
[Ren could also, you know, get up and let him in but. He's comfortable where he is sitting cross-legged on the bed and he feels more like just giving Eric a cheery wave when he comes in than going to the trouble of actually getting up.]
[Ren lets out a sigh that's more a hum than anything and glances thoughtfully at the ceiling.]
I don't really know all the details myself. I just know it would be extremely dangerous--mostly to us or anyone else around him, but to him too. And I like danger, but this isn't the kind I'd want to mess with. He should be fine as long as it stays on, though.
[ What was it, a containment for his dangerous power? ]
I won't touch it then...or let anyone else try if we're together.
[ Not that he would take it off anyways. But at least there was a good reason. There were a lot of weird things happening around here, to add to that with sonething as bad as...whatever that would do, probably wouldn't be good. ]
[Ren smiles proudly and nods in approval of that plan. It would be best if they didn't end up in a situation like that at all, but he's glad he can rely on Eric if things somehow go badly. That said...]
Hmmm...oh, I'd like it if this could stay our secret for now. I don't want to worry him unnecessarily, and I don't want it to accidentally spread to the wrong ears either.
At the mention of Mikleo's ice cream those two days came back into his head. As fun as the first one was, the second one made up for it in terms of absolutely not fun. ]
Ah...yeah I'll let him know. He seemed really happy that a lot of people liked his ice cream.
I bet Goku would love to try! [He'd certainly been enthusiastic enough about it when Ren had told him what he usually did for a living.] I just don't really have enough for us to try. Well...I guess I have the ones I've been making myself but I don't know if I have enough that would suit him...
[This was maybe not the right path of conversation to start on because he's going to have a hard time stopping now...]
Maybe! I keep hoping for it. But I guess so far I haven't talked to the right people. [Shrug.] It's okay. I've probably been more productive without them.
[He could mention that it's horribly lonely and frustrating and he hates feeling that way...or he could keep most of that to himself like he usually does.]
It's just a little frustrating sometimes. But training with Shun has helped a lot, so it's okay.

no subject
[ If it was something that important, Eric wasn't going to keep him waiting. There's a knock at Ren's dior a minute after the text.]
no subject
[Ren could also, you know, get up and let him in but. He's comfortable where he is sitting cross-legged on the bed and he feels more like just giving Eric a cheery wave when he comes in than going to the trouble of actually getting up.]
Make cure to close the door behind you, too.
no subject
[ He closes the door, walking closer to Ren on the bed, his hands in his pockets. ]
What's all this for?
no subject
[And then drops his hand back to his lap with the other one, all at once looking quite a bit more serious.]
It's about the crown he's wearing. That's not allowed to come off under any circumstances.
no subject
Uhm...alright. Why though?

Is, that all?

no subject
[ How would one even begin to try and bring that up? ]
I won't say anything about it to anyone.
no subject
I know you won't. I trust you, Eric-kun. Oh, and I wanted to say thank you again for the ice cream. Your friend is very talented.

no subject
[Could he sound any more like a mom...]
no subject
Sure. Mikleo's a sucker for new places to explore. He'd probably love all your cards.
[ Mikleo's a smart nerd, how he ended up with Eric as a friend is another thing entirely ]
no subject
Of course! Because my cards are cool.
[And then he sighs and relaxes again a moment later.]
I just wish we could play with them too.
no subject
[ He trails off, just seeing some of those cards made his head spin. ]
Maybe Goku would like to try.

People have gotten things from their world, maybe you could try to get more cards?
no subject

no subject
Yes, it's always so busy, isn't it? It's been a lot of fun, and I'm really glad I've had this chance to meet all my new friends too.
no subject
But?
