BenRG:
Something that I noticed and no-one seems to have mentioned yet: Renee goes in to start baking at 4am every morning. Still at tSB confirmed.
Given that, when Marten met Padma, she couldn't even use the 'large blender thing' without setting the shop on fire, the fact that Jim now trust her to go in early to start making the day's stock means that she's likely come a long way from the one-dimensional character who Angus described as being someone so unpleasant that his room-mates couldn't stand her. She might still have an acerbic personality but it is possible that six months (and the departure of Padma, tSB's previous 'reliable one') has led her to mature a little.

But for people like Brun, it's even more important. Other people can't necessarily be held to routines and that sort of disruption would make it difficult for her to live with them. It isn't directly stated but I get the impression that Renee's pitch was possibly: "I'm a busy woman; I'll be mostly out of your hair all day". That said, I really get the impression that Brun would be a lot happier in her own place.

Um... No. IMO, Renee does love Brun but it is purely sisterly and platonic. I'm wondering if Jeph is deliberately writing the two of them to be a 'Bizarro Mirror' (to use the phrase used to describe the Coffee of Doom/The Secret Bakery comparison) of Clinton and Claire.
Corsair:
Given how touchy Renee is I'd say they're either involved or Renee wants to be, and given Brun I'm inclined to lean towards the 'wants to be'.
blue5:
I believe in having an organized routine but each routine has to work for the individual. I am an astronomer so i have a different sleep pattern to say my wife. But we make it work.
Renee is gearing up for a confrontation with Clinton in the near future. She will tell him that she is looking out for brun and that she does not trust him. And insert threat about physical violence if brun is hurt. Clinton may be taken aback but might have the spine to tell her what she can do with her opinion.

Some people (Hello!) show affection and sympathy through physical contact. It's just the way we process emotion, and has NOTHING to do with attraction. If you saw me with my sister, you'd think it was a Lannister situation, but trust me, no.

That is only true if you consider today's comic a sign of romantic love.
Sorry if that was confusing, I'm very tired. I accidentally went by Renée's morning schedule and woke up at 4
