[That's a very telling hesitation, but Ren notes it aside without letting anything show. He doesn't imagine Hayame is the sort of person who'd respond well to being gauged for reactions - or asked for details on what's given her such trouble offering a name.
Instead, he smiles slightly and offers a just as slight bow. Polite, but not exactly humble.] It's nice to meet you then, Hayame-san. I'm Suzugamori Ren, but just Ren is fine.
[He still sounds as cheery as he has for most of the conversation in introducing himself. The problems he has with being here are plenty, but not quite the same as hers.
That said, he raises a hand, half-turning on one heel.] I guess I should be on my way then, huh? Seems like you'd prefer to be alone.
[It's said with the same vapid obliviousness as earlier, but he has his reasons for putting it the way he has.]
