[It would be easy just to squeeze his neck, push him away and leave, now that he knew that Ren would possibly chase him to the ends of the earth. Stupid, dumb, Ren. Instead, he can't help himself to say;]
Ren Amamiya, the Sin of Greed weighs heavily on you. Unable to limit yourself to one person, you scour the earth and open your heart to whatever riffraff shows up at your doorstep, ravenousness in your hunger...
[He pauses for a slight dramatic effect.]
What was the rest again? Ahh yes, we will take your distorted desires without fail.
[ A fair conclusion to make. Akechi's tendency to run away from anything emotionally difficult is just as predictable as Ren's stubborn attachment, so he thanks Akechi for saving Ren the exercise at the moment.
Albeit he's somewhat stung by the implication that he can't have more than one person in his heart - bridling arrogance or softhearted foolishness, it hasn't been decided yet - Ren grins at the theatricality, tipping his head with a lazy cat's interest. His airways open up again and Ren breathes, he speaks softly as though to not trip the hair trigger before him. ]
Flattered, I'm sure. Greed? Not gluttony or lust instead?
[ He's just relieved that Akechi seems to have temporarily forgotten about packing up. Ren has a mind to press this advantage, chasing Akechi's retreating touch by pressing his own hand to Akechi's chest and taking a half-step closer. ]
You can't take a heart that's already yours, Goro.
That's what most people expect. I wouldn't qualify your needs as lust, and perhaps gluttony would fit as well, but you don't seem to grab just any old fool either. Therefore, greed seems to be the most fitting sin to pick.
[The distraction works, as he's too proud of himself for having come up with a fake phantom thief card on such a short amount of time. That and...the words are nice to hear, even if he doesn't say anything about that back.]

[He laughs, releasing the grip.]
How did I do?
[It is like disarming a bomb at this point.]
