[That sad expression! Ugh it throws him off from being too huffy for long. Instead he becomes a little awkward and even more embarrassed. He can't stay even mildly annoyed at Ren too long. Maybe this is why he's spoiled by Aoba and Koujaku much more.]

Well it's just... I was trying to make you look embarrassed! [His great plan revealed.] I didn't expect ya to return it so I was shocked 'n stuff.[He's totally not still blushing!! Okay he is, but he's not as freaked out as he was before.] Ended up with me bein' all embarrassed, dammit... [He grumbles, letting down that act of being the coolest little not!bird around.]
