[He's had enough trouble with money to know not to turn down free food, even without his appetite involved. ... he probably would accept even without the money aspect, though.]
[Suddenly, he feels like a kindergartner planning a play date...]
sure. see you then.
[... he may be a little bit eager, so he'll end up being there a good fifteen minutes before the agreed time, standing around almost stiffly with his hands in his pockets. It's like he's trying to be casual but is feeling particularly awkward about it, like he's somehow doing something he shouldn't be.]
[ He's not wrong. Orihime is also always so happy to share her food. She loves eating and she loves cooking, but both are so much better with friends. And he is her friend, at least she considers him as much at this point, as aloof as he is.
She shows up right on time, which does leave him standing there for a little bit. But it's clear why she isn't early--she's got a few bags and a basket that she's hauling with her. It means that she can't wave easily, but she does try, which ends up being an awkward kind of elbow wiggle. ]
[Good lord. Ren approaches with a look on his face that's more serious than it needs to be, aiming to help her with something since she took the effort to bring him food.]
Let me.
[He reaches for whatever seems to be easiest to hand over, whether that's a bag or the basket. ... part of him didn't really think she was serious about the picnic thing, and he honestly feels sort of foolish for it. Then again, dealing with the kind of person Orihime is isn't exactly something he's used to.]
[Toppings. After already making several pies. He has to stare at it for a moment in disbelief, though the mild frown on his face ends up looking as serious as usual.]
Don't tell me you're carrying all that just for this.
[Does this girl go all-out for everything? How does she have the energy for it?]
[Seriously? He shakes his head, still incredulous.]
No, this is more than enough. I didn't expect you to bring a dozen different sides to go with it.
[He only barely expected the pie at all. He really will have to do something in return for this, and he frowns faintly. It's only for a moment, however, before he continues towards the end goal of actually getting the baked goods.]
[So it seems. Not that Ren is one to do things by halves, either, but... usually he goes more like a hundred and ten percent, rather than five hundred.
... he's not going to complain.]
Sure.
[He doesn't have much more to say at the moment, so he starts towards the space under the trees, carrying the bag along with him and keeping an eye on Orihime to make sure she can handle the rest of what she's carrying. ... well, okay, he does have a question.]
I'm not the only one you asked to share these with, right?

[Saying that's a lot of pie seems superfluous here.]
"so far"? how many are you planning to make?

where should i meet you, then?
[He resolutely ignores the f-word and continues to think of himself as that asshole who takes advantage of every offer of free food he can.]
no subject
It's nice outside! Would you like to meet in the park? We could make it a picnic!
no subject
[It's all for the food. It's definitely only for the food and not because he almost never gets invited to simple things like picnics. Nope.]

--> action
sure. see you then.

[ She will let him take one of the bags that's full of various toppings--yes, toppings--for the pies. It's important to have options, right? ]
I hope you haven't been waiting long. I was worried I forgot something.

Where do you want to sit?

Ehehe...I wanted to make sure no one would leave hungry.
[ You know. Between two people.
Looking around, she spots a small collection of trees. ]
How about over there? Next to one of those trees!
