Ren wasn't the most observant of people when he wasn't just sitting back and watching. Participation normally took all his focus and concentration away and left nothing for thinking about others actions or reactions to his comments unless they were pretty obvious. Momoko's delicate and minuet reactions unfortunately went completely over his head, and what he perceived as a lack of reaction made him feel weird for mentioning his mother's name in present company. Did people normally talk about their parents when they first meet?
She seemed far more interested in talking about the ghosts. He slipped his hands into his jacket pockets and listened to her.
"Seeing things? What kind of things?" He was actually starting to get a little curious too. She was starting to remind him of some of the people he met at art school. It was there that he found out some of the most creative people tend to also be some of the most strange in habit, dress, and speech.
"Why would I need good luck? I've never seen a ghost before." He looked a little confused. Unless she meant about getting all his crap up to his apartment. He might need a little luck for that feat.
