Yo, Gabe. [Reno points a finger gun at her, because she's classy like that. She already has a glass of champagne in hand, as the drinks were her first destination.]

Hey, I'd appreciate it if you didn't let anybody know where Rude and me are located. Or that we live here.

Food looks good. [Reno snatches up something that catches her eye and takes a bite out of it.]

[aureation]

Are you hiding from someone? [She takes a moment to make sure everything is in the right place. Moving dishes and plates just a centimeter to the left, or making sure all the glasses are in an even order.] Knowing you, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody considered you their enemy.

I think so too. [She gives a smile and a quick, pleasant sigh before she steps back from the table to properly face Reno.] Miss Leijon really took her time with it.

[tasercopter]

Nah, we just like to maintain a certain level of security. That's a general policy. [She picks up more things to eat, indifferent to plate placement and crumb dispersion.] There are some people here with shitty senses of humor. [She gives a short laugh.] But mostly I'm real popular.

[Reno glances toward the door, seemingly casual, preparing herself for the task of looking nonchalant in case Sephiroth shows up. She has her Electro-Mag rod tucked under one arm. Then she grins suddenly at Gabrielle.] Yeah. And you look like you'd be even better to eat. [Gotta compliment the hostess. Reno remembers her manners.]

[aureation]

Mn. [She watches Reno eating the food, raising her eyebrow at the other woman's eating manners. She wasn't surprised to say the least, but as long as she wasn't completely demolishing the entire set-up, she's fine with it.] I'm sure.

[She can't help but laugh at the flirtation. It would be a lie if she said she didn't enjoy it.] That just may be the most flattering thing you've said to me yet! But I'd rather you stick to the food here for now. [She leans in just a bit, her voice lowered.] Wouldn't want to make a scene.

[tasercopter]

I can get more flattering. [Oh, it's leaning in time. Looks like fun. Reno leans in too, more than just a bit.] But I love making scenes. Nobody'd care here. We can do whatever we want.

[aureation]

[Gabrielle keeps her ground, looking Reno straight in the eye.] Unfortunately, it would be bad for business. [With her lips curled into a smirk, she leans away from the redhead.]

Plus, I'm more of a champagne and flowers kind of gal.

[tasercopter]

[At this, Reno snatches up a glass of champagne and presents Gabrielle with it with a flourish, but the gesture is purely lighthearted. Rejections don't seem to leave much, if any, impression on her.]

Yeah, I know all about that hearts and flowers shit. [She waves a hand.] Pretty presents don't mean much to me in a place where people can make anything they want by wishing for it.

But then--neither does business. [She laughs, softly and teasingly.]

[aureation]

[Her slender fingers wrap around the stem of the glass as she presses her lips into a smile. Jokingly, she gives her most flattered expression-as if it's the most romantic gesture she's ever seen.]

You have a point, but people still need a place to live, don't they? [She tilts her chin up just a bit.] It may not be how business is done in our worlds, but it's still a business to run.

Plus, it's always nice when someone gives you flowers when you least expect it!
