The Roof of the Dorms, Sunday Morning

Apr 27, 2008 10:23

In the quest to find someplace that was spacious enough for the gaggle of children that happened to be following Reno about, Reno had decided to hit the roof with his own spawn. It was big, there was a view, and at present, it promised to be at least a little quiet ( Read more... )

Inoue was totally going to go and see if she could find Uncle Cable-san later, but for now the roof seemed like a fun thing to look at. And, hey, food!

"Hi!" she chirped.

Rede blinked up from the spread of food on the table at what appeared to be yet-another-chirpy-girl.

For a kid who had never seen a chirpy girl in his life, he was certainly getting his fill of them this weekend. In somewhat the same way that his pockets were getting their fill of danishes and orange slices.

"...Hi," he ventured. It appeared to be the proper sort of greeting, didn't it?

She beamed and not-quite-bounced her way over to him. "How're you?" Inoue chirped, studying the food. "And is this for sharing?"

Guess which question was more important.

"I think it's for sharing," he replied, inching toward the table just a half-step. He wasn't at all scared of girls or anything. At all. Honest. Because he was a Turk, and Turks weren't scared of anything.

"... Everyone keeps eating it."

Which meant, yes, it was most certainly for sharing.

Inoue gleefully stepped even closer to the table. "That's good enough for me!" And a banana found its way into her hands. "I'm Inoue," she told the boy brightly. "You?"

"Turk Cl-" He stopped himself again. Okay, no. He had a new name. It was a better name. It didn't have a number in it or anything. "Rede. My name is Rede. Of the Turks."

Didn't he look so official, standing there with a croissant sticking out of his pocket?

"You looka kinda like the people Mom gets to boss around," she said helpfully. "Only I don't think they put bread in their pockets."

Rede straightened his shoulders and squared his jaw.

"The Turks do important work," he informed her. "ShinRa can't function without the Turks bein' there to clean up."

He paused, not entirely sure what cleaning up entailed, and then looked at his croissant.

"Where am I supposed to put it?"

"Mom takes care of security for Uncle Cable-san," Inoue said. "For Providence."

She took a bite of her banana then grinned. "Most people'd eat it, or put it on a plate."

Security! Turks did security stuff, too. Rede had learned all about that sort of thing. It was his job to know about it.

He... hadn't actually had any experience, but knowing was half the battle, right?

"I can't eat any more," he explained. "This is for later."

"Your pocket'll get messy though," she wrinkled her nose. "Maybe there's a bag for it on the table?" Inoue peeked at the table, but didn't immediately spot any bags.

"No," Rede repled with a small shake of his head. "I didn't see any."

Not that he'd thought to look at all.

"It fits okay in my pocket," he insisted.

"It'll make a mess though," she insisted right back. "An' security people and stuffs have to look the part too."

Rede weighed this new bit of information very carefully.

Potentially, Inoue had a very good point.

However...

He pointed over at Reno.

"He's the second-in-command," he informed her. He figured that it would be case-in-point enough, at that.

"But he looks cool," she said, gaze following the pointing. "But bread in a pocket just looks silly. And Mom says the higher up you are then the more rules you can bend, so it's okay for him."

...

"Oh."

Rede supposed that if her mom was the higher up, too, then she had to know better. He was only promoted to the Turks just yesterday, anyhow.

So he pulled the croissant out of his pocket and studied it for a moment.

"Want some?" If he couldn't keep it in his pocket, and he couldn't eat it all, then he might as well share.
