Something perhaps indicative of a longstanding occupation involving cards, but not one of obligation, one that he'd been perfectly willing to hone his skills in on his own time. As he does so, he listens to Verim's explanation, nodding a little in understanding of his explanation.

[Standing aside, Ren inclines his head to indicate Verim can lead him wherever he prefers. He hasn't spoken to many of the court yet, so he's keeping his manners intact for now.]
