[It's not that he thinks Ren is stupid- he knows she's quite brilliant, in her own way. The only problem with it is her thought process is not even remotely on the same level as his, and it makes figuring out her logic and what will read clearly to her difficult for him to parse. He's coping with this by just staying as still as he's able, even as Ren seems content to just wrap his hair around itself in a way he knows is going to knot terribly.

At least her smile brings a sigh of relief, a knowledge that he doesn't need to press technical terms any further.]

And ah... I can feel things. I mean, more than just my feelings. I believe them to be yours as well.
