A Secluded Area of the Preserve, Wednesday Evening

When Reno had said they could go out for tea, Ino had kinda figured he'd meant some place like the Perk, or even Caritas if 'tea' meant 'booze' (and knowing Reno, she'd guessed that it might've meant that).

So when she'd wound up in the preserve with him, Ino absolutely, positively, had to be a brat:

"Don't think the trees serve tea, yo."

[For Reno, yoto!]

"If I were the kinda guy who was good at metaphor, here's where I'd say somethin' witty about paint," Reno decided, smirking faintly. "You got a year left, anyhow. Take it easy, look over your options. A year don't seem like too long if you already been here for a few, but for all you know, it'll all pull together for you just before grad, yo."
raspberryturk: (With Ino)

"Wouldn't make it if I didn't mean it," Reno pointed out. "Like I said, Rookie. Much as Tseng's pissed at me right now, I'm his second. I got the authority to bring in new Turks, yo. Especially if he ain't gonna get off his ass an' do it himself, zoto."
raspberryturk: (Sheepish... ish.)

"Hey," Reno snorted, "don't knock the uniforms, yo."

A pause.

"We've had 'em in blue before too, yo."

That made all the difference in the world.
raspberryturk: (Mmmhmm)

Yeah, but Reno figured he'd pushed them hard enough all at once, and could probably stand to give her a break for just a moment.

"Do I look like I'm gonna kick your ass for not wearin' the uniform right?"
raspberryturk: (Cocky)

"Monsters ain't gonna laugh themselves to death," Reno pointed out, smoothly.

He was trying to picture it.

He wasn't a monster, which meant that it was totally possible that he could laugh himself to death, of course.
raspberryturk: (Raspberry!)

"Well, I hope you ain't," Reno replied, still grinning. "I like to tell myself that my Rookies are smarter'n that, yo."
raspberryturk: (Reno knows he's hot.)

"I'm drawin' my line at the lacy bits," Reno agreed. "If you can find pink buttons in Edge, you're welcome to 'em."

After all, it was as though anybody would see the buttons provided she zipped up her jacket.
raspberryturk: (Wild Thing)

"Tell you what, Rookie. You coordinate your uniform to your heart's content, an' if I laugh at you, then you probably went overboard, zoto."

A tried and true method. Really.

"I think he'd figure that much out on his own, zoto," Reno snorted. "It's Tseng's business to know his Turks, yo. He's an ass, but he's sharp like a friggin' thumbtack."

Which drove Reno to complete consternation on more than one occasion. So, naturally, Reno had to return the favor.

Hey, Reno was made to leapfrog his points. Just ask poor Rude, who had to keep up with him on particularly ADHD days.

"Well, the option's always open," Reno replied. "If you ever decide to take that route, yo."
raspberryturk: (Sideways Glance)

Reno bit the inside of his cheek for a moment, mulling that one over.

Wow. He'd just invited her to join the Turks in a world where Zack was dead. That would go over wonderfully if she ever got it in her head to look him up.

"Well, I ain't gonna try to break you apart," he said, diplomatically.

Because Reno was such a diplomat.

And now? Now Reno had to go and grin his biggest, most jack-assed smile.

"Rude's always lookin'," he offered, reaching sideways with one finger to poke Ino in the ribs.

Yes, he was kidding.

Mostly.
