Ren did indeed follow Japanese culture, taking off his shoes and putting on the slippers when he entered. "Its just me and my uncle here, and by that I mean its just me here since he's rarely around. Parents are off in some other part of the world doing something I don't really know or care about." Ren heard the ill mannered Sasha ask for a drink, Ren ignoring that, but appreciating Silas correcting the rude woman for him. "Ill get some tea..." Ren walked to the kitchen after that, letting Sasha and Silas follow him if they wanted to. "Feel free to sit in the living room and watch TV or just relax on the couch or something." The living room, which was connected to the kitchen through just the fact that one could walk there and get to it since they were in the same general space after going down the foyer, as this was a more western style house with Japanese touches, had a couple of couches and a large TV sitting on a cabinet meant to store things. Inside were several consoles. Two bookshelves were on either side of the TV, filled to the brim with games and DVDs. After about ten minutes, Ren brought in a tray with two cups of hot, good smelling tea, setting it down so that Sasha and Silas could take a cup, Ren not serving himself any. Sure Ren may be cold and distant, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to be a proper host. After that he sat down on one of the two couches, first sending a PM to Lucian. Ren thought of sending one to Mike, but he was still at school. [hider=PM] From: Ren Hitori We are all right, resting in my house. Come on over. Its time we start planning some things. [/hider] "Its clear that these guys are gonna keep coming, so we need to start being more prepared for when they do. It also means that... we... sort of need to start working together a little better. Not trying to be a Party Leader here... " Ren said that last part with hesitation. It was clear that Ren probably didn't have any, or many, friends. Maybe it was his appearance or general demeanor, but still, he probably wasn't used to being with other people, "but none of us can take them on alone... and until we grow strong enough so that guys like them are pushovers, we sort of... need to be a proper... er... Party..." Ren sort of sheepishly scratched his head, clearly not used to having others in his home or even talking about being "Friends" of sorts like this. So far it had been a formality, them being together, but now they needed to be and work together for survival, and being distant with one another, as Ren was trying a little harder not to be now, wasn't going to solve anything. Trying, of course, being the key word here. "So... any ideas?"
