There were few demons of her kind that Ren was fond of, but May had been the exception for a long time. She was sweet, calming, and was there for him in his time of need. A friendship that he truly valued on many levels. Not only did she get along with him, but with Keyanna as well which was a rarity in itself.
May was someone Ren felt that he was safe around and could confide in when he needed, even telling her of his past. He trusted her dearly and admired her skills, her appearance even catching his attention which was rare given his feelings for Keyanna.
But upon their lips meeting once, the relationship changed drastically. Ren grew tense around her, unable to figure out what she had hoped to gain and when answers were unable to be given their friendship turned sour and into battle. While he wished to figure things out with her, it was clear by their words that no middle ground could be met and soon after, blood was shed and the two were unable to put it past them. Especially given Ren attempted to take her child, May's mental games with him fueling the anger.
Part of him wishes that things could go back to normal, but after everything that he had said and done to her, he knew there was nothing that could be done. As well as the fact he feared that May might strike against his leader or worse. He knows how strong she is and chooses to keep a watchful eye on her when possible.
He doesn't wish to harm her anymore, but a feeling inside him tells him to be weary and on his guard when he's around her. That may be just fight or flight kicking in, but it's a feeling he cannot push aside.
