"But you were right. This proposition is a waste of my time, and yours," Ren countered. "Everyone knows that the Fire Lord wouldn't force his daughters into marriage. So the only thing it can be about is the message. I figure yer not in on that, now, so as a gesture of goodwill Imma make this easy for both of us."
Most of the shit Ren pulled when he first got there were stupid and petty, and by the time he'd learned how to conduct himself all proper-like, there was nothing the Fire Lord could pin on him.
Ren did not even bother to force his smile to reach his eyes.
"It was an honor to meet yer ladyship, but I believe I'm feeling a kinda ill. Damned shame of a thing. I would not wish to expose the Princess to that kinda terrible malady."
He coughed a single fake cough.
"I'll see you around the Court, my lady."
With that, Ren bowed his exit, and retreated off into the halls of the Fire Palace.
