It'd been a year or so since you'd seen Ren- you'd disappeared from existence, as far as he, and the other thieves knew. But that wasn't the case; you were still alive and well, just not in contact with anybody.

...Until today, that was.

You missed Ren, as much as you hated to admit it- missed the banter, missed the chit chat. Damn that charm of his.

So you decided to visit Leblanc. Where he lived for a year, which you commonly visited for it's coffee, pretty good stuff.

So, here you were again. Standing outside, gathering the courage to walk in...

Walking inside, the bell above the door rings, and a familiar frizzy headed male looks in your direction from behind the counter.

"Welcome to Lebla--"

Pause.

"...Ah, Akechi." Ren breaks into a smile, "Welcome. Been a while, hasn't it?"
