[ That inherent paranoia is something that Angeal can sympathize with to some degree. However, it certainly cements the notion that they have very different lives. Angeal doesn't have to worry too much about possibly getting ambushed or killed unless we're talking about insurgence members or anti-Shinra protestors. He can easily venture around town without a single worry but for Rude, that's the opposite.
The Turks are well hated and feared at the same time. They're operatives, after all. Cold stone killers who act on the becking call of President Shinra himself. They do a lot of things that the top-brass don't want the public to know about and even have a higher security clearance than the military. With all this in mind, everything Rude says makes sense. Why would a Turk willingly put himself in danger by going to enjoy a Broadway play? ]
Good point.
[ He comments after a moment of thought. ]
I might use that as my excuse the next time Genesis asks me out.
[ Which is bound to happen since Genesis can't take no for an answer. It's well known that Angeal lacks his passion in the arts but that hasn't stopped Genesis yet from dragging him to a play or two. That's just how things are between them.
The table the waitress offers them isn't bad the least. It's far enough away from the other patrons to give them a sense of privacy without seeming completely closed off. He figured that Rude would prefer this spot since it's tucked away and out of view. After all, he has a healthy sense of paranoia thanks to his job. However, this makes Angeal wonder why Rude is willing to risk it all just to have a dinner date with him. It's evident that Rude frequents this restaurant sometimes judging from the look of familiarity in the staff's gaze. Still, Angeal can't help but feel at least a little guilty for putting the Turk at needless peril. ]
Is that why you prefer books over the grand stage?
[ He asks as he glances over the menu briefly. The prices are what he would expect of a classy joint like this but Angeal can't help feel the need to be somewhat frugal. After all, Rude is paying. ]
