[Murasame could honestly be referencing one of at least two things in saying "little darkness", and neither of them is anything Ren particularly wants to explain to someone he just met, so he shrugs with a look of confusion when Shino raises a brow at him. He's perfectly aware that if the demon can read energies, Ren probably reads as dark even disregarding that tiny whisper of a fragment of nothing deep in his heart, but it's not something he generally broaches freely.

Thankfully, the topic of food gives him an easy out to change the subject, as does the question about Chroma. It's weird to understand even for someone economy-minded like him, so Ren gives a light hum of assent at the question.]

Holding hands doesn't usually generate that much, but since we've been doing it for such a long time, it's going to keep doing it...so we should be able to get something good.

[He turns briefly on the spot before starting to lead them off in some direction.]

I think there might be a teppanyaki place near here... [Might. Maybe. If Ren's sense of direction isn't on the fritz again.]
