(i.) [Dreams and reality meeting isn't an unfamiliar thing to Ren, so he'd treated that encounter as if it might be something real, as he would any other dream. And he's glad, now, that he did, because waking up in another world entirely would certainly have been a lot more troubling if he hadn't.
As such, he's probably going to be one of the...brighter faces at the breakfast table. He's definitely a little thrown by this even having assumed the dream wasn't simply a dream, but his usual reaction to being thrown by things is to fix his innocent smile right back on and dive into it headfirst. So once he's done pouring himself a not-inconsiderable amount of extremely black coffee, he offers the pot on to someone else.] Did you want some of this too...?
(ii.)
[After breakfast, with the sheer amount of movement and talk happening, Ren figures there's a chance of picking up a little more about what's going on. Especially from the woman who'd said this wasn't supposed to happen...lingering too obviously might draw attention, though, so he takes a subtler route.
The subtler route being finding a section of floor that looks a bit uneven and letting his natural clumsiness take the reins for a minute.
As such, anyone leaving a bit later than the rest might come across a man with long red hair sprawled on the ground near one of the doors, reluctantly working himself upright and rubbing a hand against the back of his head, but with his ear turned slightly towards Fayura and her associates.] Mmm, that was silly of me, wasn't it...?

(i.)
[Physical rescue work is not Ren's forte. But he is absolutely not going to stand out here and let people die while he could be trying to do something about it, so after a somewhat acerbic and very quick lesson from Doriah in how to use a breaker, and finding somewhere he can dampen his jacket to use it as at least a basic face mask, he heads into the inferno. It won't last him long, but it's better than nothing, and he's going to have enough to figure out on the fly here.
Thankfully, he has considerable experience with shaping his imagination into reality, so the simple craft of shielding comes to him quite easily, and the air walking occurs to him not long after, once he notices the deeper heat starting to work its way through his shoes. The colour of his shield, Purple Dusk, might mark him out to others in the blaze as someone capable of assisting with the shields of that level, but as it is, he's focusing his attention ahead as much as he can, moving forward and trying not to think too hard about the tiredness that's going to be eating at him the longer this goes on.
If he sees someone ahead, though, he may call forward, in a significantly more serious and grounded tone than the one he was wearing at breakfast earlier.] Is there something over there? Or someone?
(ii.)
[Actually finding some of the shielded humans himself is enough to make what little is visible of Ren's face twist with disgust, eyes narrowing visibly. He's done some nasty things to people who didn't deserve it, but this is beyond the kind of thing he'd imagine on anyone short of his worst enemy.
Lifting the Breaker in his hand slightly in preparedness, he first tries reaching out towards the shield with his own craft if it's Purple Dusk or lower. However, he doesn't have any experience with shield breaking with craft yet, so if he sees any other signs of movement, he'll quickly turn his head towards it with an assertive sort of urgency in his eyes.]
If you know the quickest way to break through one of these shields with craft, I'd be grateful to hear it right now.
[[OOC note: Since each person can only save 3 workers, I'm planning to have Ren aim for two Purple Dusk or lower shielded people and one Green with the Breaker. After three tag-ins for that, I'll have him more in a support role for anyone who's doing their own saving thing (so helping clear their way or guide them or potentially lending them the Breaker), or you can state in your tag-in that you'd prefer him as support for that rescue!]]
