[ laughing weakly as he's dragged over in his blanket cocoon. he doesn't sound especially upset, just awkward. it's a cool day in hell when Reno sounds awkward. ]
[ heh. he grins weakly. rude always knows just what dumb stuff to do to cheer him up. ]
No... I want you to know. I think you're probably the only person who wouldn't give me grief about it. I always—felt like I had something to prove, but you know already. My, uh... value, I guess.
[ he says "value" like it's a load of bullshit, but there isn't really any other way to put it. ]
[Well, Rude has known him for an insanely long period of time, hasn't he?]
You're one of the most dangerous men in the world. Working as a senior member of the intelligence arm of the most powerful company and nation in the world. You've got nothing to prove.
Ah, c'mon. You hear about this shit all the time. Stupid little assholes that came up from nothing and made names for themselves... Shinra's built on that.
[ it's also built on the really fucked up and terrible ways they utilize those stupid little assholes. but y'know. ]
[There are few who truly come up that way, and Reno knows it. At the highest level there aren't many who made it that way. The Turks tend to be an excpetion.]

Date: 2020-04-30 04:00 am (UTC)I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm not a risk, and it doesn't matter if anybody finds out about where I came from. It's just a personal thing.

NOT GONNA LIE, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LOT
Date: 2020-04-30 04:59 pm (UTC)If I can do it, anyone can, right?
[ and then... after a pause. ]
I didn't tell you how I did it.
Sassy-Shinra, to go with Shooty-Shinra, Sabotauge-Shinra, and ex-Solder-Shinra
Date: 2020-04-30 05:23 pm (UTC)[Others would batter at the world and try and claw their ways up and never be able to be Reno.]
You don't need to.
