[Honestly, that makes a lot more sense to Ren than the system did previously, being someone who values loyalty and trust himself. The feeling that comes alongside it is something like curious realisation.]

I see...that makes a lot more sense than the concept I had of it. Violation of trust is never something I could take lightly myself. I think it'll still take me a little time to work out the details of how you all interact, but I appreciate you framing it that way for me. It's an angle I hadn't considered before.

[And Ren definitely appreciates knowing how these sort of social niceties work. Having been in a fairly high position in his own world, he knows the value of the dance that standing firm vs polite acquiescence to keep the peace can be, and he can't help but feel somewhat wrong-footed stepping into a world where he doesn't know intimately how to execute that balance.]
