[It's only marginally weird to sit here with this Ren when she's used to dealing with the one she knows. But on the other hand, it's also interesting to see this new side of him.

Or, well, this old side of him.

If circumstances were different, she might be more amused.]

I know how it sounds, but it's the truth. The abridged version, anyway.

[That's putting it mildly, and she can't quite shake the feeling that they don't have a lot of time before old what's-his-face reappears.]

So uh... just between you and me, what are the odds of him deciding to let me go? Since you know... minor. And as far as he knows, I do live around here, and my parents are looking for me right now.
