"Dit-- Yeah, a pleasure to meet you, Valmont." Ren clasps his hand in reply, giving it a shake, and then uses that very same grip to inch just a little bit closer, a little bit oblivious to Valmont's embarrassment on his behalf.

Only a little. He very well knows what a facepalm is, and it sure doesn't pass off as what Valmont hopes it looks like. To him, anyway.

"Ah, right, I can be a bit-- vulgar, according to some. Would you prefer we talk elsewhere? It's not my intention to, well, bother you."

Visibly flustered, he has to restrain the urge to go completely over-the-top for Valmont's comfort - he knows he's just all the more likely to embarrass himself if he does.

"My stipulation is often rather openly, well, sexual."

It seemed to him that, so far, there were more people uncomfortable with being blatant than not. He decides to do his best to be... less blatant.

"If it bothers you, I will do my best to modify how I speak of things from here on out. Just, well, tell me if anything bothers you, period."
