Who: Reno and Rude
What: Of Awkward Awesome Reunions
Where: Near the Residential Area / Alley
When: Present / After Event


Reno was used to Rude's silence; it didn't normally bother him. He'd known Rude long enough that he could usually figure out what he was thinking anyway; or at least drag it out of him without much effort. But now that whatever magic had hit him had worn off and they stood across from each other in the empty alleyway, he had no clue what was on the other's mind. Considering how his partner had found him, he wasn't sure he wanted to know.

In retrospect, it might not have been such a bad thing to have been without his teammates all this time. It was going to be pretty damn hard to save face as it was. As relieved as he was to hear from his partner, he wasn't looking forward to filling him in on the details of the past few weeks. But Rude would probably find out either way, and Reno knew he might not come out as sympathetically if it came from someone else.

It wasn't his really his fault that nothing had worked out as it should have. Whatever the hell this place was, he couldn't help but feel like someone was enjoying fucking with him.

Even though Reno had been recuperating for nearly a week since taking on Yazoo, he was still sore. He constantly shifted his position in an effort to find a way to stand comfortably while not calling too much attention to his discomfort. Maybe he should have let Aerith heal him; it probably would have been less embarrassing in the long run. His memory was fuzzy on how the fight ended, but he knew that he'd lost pretty badly. After all that, he didn't even know if it was worth it. If Rude had been there instead of Tifa, maybe it would have gone down a different way.

And then to top it off, when he'd left to find Rude... what the hell happened to him? Reno was trying to keep his mind off of it, but it didn't help that the other Turk's silence seemed to be filled with judgment and skepticism.

"That never happened, alright?" He looked over at Rude, doing his best to impact on him the seriousness of that statement. As far as Reno was concerned, the past few days had been nothing but a bad dream. "You can ask me about anything but that."
