Ren turns back to the potatoes with a small 'hmm'.

"Commiserating, huh? Leaders need to let off steam, too, so why not?"

She cracks another smile as she works with more of the potatoes, still cutting them as requested.

"...Frog and Ace... Not what I expected, but you're right. Frogs are cool."

But she shrugs. After all, it's the multiverse and there are different timelines. There's no telling about how it'll be in any given world.

"And yeah, first and only leader of the group. No co-leaders, but I don't act without the rest of the team's input."

She properly turns to face Akechi this time, giving him a bit of a knowing look. Not harsh or angry, just knowing.

"I'm guessing you've got a point you're getting to with this?"

'You're not making this about me again, we're talking about your problems this time', in other words.
