[It's times like this where Ren kind of wishes he'd video called so he could see Ryuu's face, because he can definitely imagine the kind of face he's probably making considering how easily he flusters. Sadly, he'll have to save seeing any faces for after he gets back into the city.
Also, the individual texts thing is kind of a giveaway about the flustering, so that helps.]
saying it like that makes it sound like you don't think mine is anything special (◕︿◕✿)
[Ren actually hates being put on a pedestal, but boy will he make dumb silly remarks about people not being complimentary enough at the same time.]
well, i "perform" too, in a way~ ( ´з｀)ﾉ⌒☆ did you think i couldn't do it?
[ how does one properly explain that he wasn't trying to pay any special attention to an ass without making that ass seem lesser for the effort. (spoilers: you don't.) ]
It's kind of like neutral ground, you could say! So please don't think of it as me seeing it as inferior...
[This is the kind of easy trap shenanigan Ren excels at, though it's slightly less of a payoff when he can't actually see Ryuu trying to puzzle his way around the conundrum in person.]
are you sure |x･`) if you don't have anything nice to say about it then it doesn't sound like it was that special...
[Is he trying to trick Ryuu into complimenting his butt for the sake of his own amusement? Maybe.]
[Ren can just about picture the face that would be coming with if he'd said it in real life, and it's probably good this isn't a voice call, otherwise Ryuu would hear him failing to conceal his laughter about the earnest straightforwardness of that comment.]
you did it~ thank you (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ you have a nice butt too ☆⌒(*’艸＾*)
Also, there are a thousand tasteless jokes Ren could probably make about that comment, but he decides to spare Ryuu that for today in recognition of his efforts.]
oh, so you do want people to pay attention to it, then (✿´ ꒳ ` ) should i take some pictures of it next time i see you~?
oh, i'm enjoying not getting weird attention for stuff here too ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／ going right back to modelling it seems weird if you wanted a break, though... but i'm no gossip, you know~?
Well! Work time and off time are two different things! Plus I figured if I can do the work, I ought to, especially when it was offered to me...it'd be rude to reject it, as a newcomer.
Besides, I want to contribute to TRIGGGER's re-debut too, after all.
mmm, i guess if you want to struggle back into the idol industry here, you can't really be picky, right (・・？) i'm probably too used to getting to choose my work, though i've had to do more here...
[Lacking his usual people to foist his administrative tasks onto.]
Ah! I have a reason for being so serious about it...but we all do our part! TRIGGER wouldn't be TRIGGER without the three of us giving it our all, after all.

It's not that I was trying to say it wasn't nice
So... how to put it...
Being polite isn't helpful at all in this case, is it.
Sorry.

i won't judge you for saying what you're thinking~
[He's really just going to keep fishing until he sees if he can get Ryuu to actually do this, because he's terrible.]

[ as terrible as ryuu is hardheaded, apparently. ]

since you said you weren't trying to be mean about it (〃´ﾉω`〃)

But my physique is pretty important, so...
I don't need more pictures!
no subject
there's no shame in wanting some attention for it
does that mean you have pictures of it already |･ω･｀)

[ someone please give tsunashi ryuunosuke's ass a day off. ]
That said, I may have done some modeling...
But the ad hasn't been released yet! So please keep it a secret, okay?

just make sure you're not doing all the work for them, okay~?

Thank you for worrying about me, though.

isn't it natural to make that kind of suggestion (・・？)
i think that's overstating it (∗´꒳`)
[Rapid deflection of anything that might be approaching sincere has been engaged.]

[ the perfect storm, so to speak. but ah, he sees that. don't think he doesn't. ]
Is it? I don't think so!
You thought about me enough to say something, after all. That makes me happy.
no subject
but being too presumptuous is risky, you know~
[He's mostly teasing, since it's kind of cute how earnest he is about it, but in person, Ren can do some very silly and wild things to deflect.]
no subject
But I won't say anything else.
