[The frown is enough for him to decide it might be good to move on. He's gotten the most pressing answers, and this wasn't intended to push at things that are too personal-- Ryan is willing to accept the subject change without complaint.

Oren's comment gets an almost shy little smile from him, without any effort-- it's easy to prompt, really, Ryan isn't the type who's good at masking his feelings.]

Well, we'll have to do something about that. I don't want to disappoint you or anything, I'd be a pretty awful host-- and I think you're right. This isn't exactly what I consider fun.

[He reaches for one of Oren's hands, picks it up; Ryan doesn't lace their fingers together, though, that's a little too affectionate for now. Instead he almost toys with his hand, as if feeling it out, or simply keeping occupied.]

One more question. [He doesn't look back up to his face, trying to play it casual.] So were you planning to follow through on flirting with me, or what?

[There. That particular ball is lobbed safely back into his court, and he can do what he wants with it. Ryan still means to get him to act first, if he actually intends to.]
