I believe I am fully functional at this time?
Is that right? There isn't something you forgot to tell me about? Think hard.
I'm sorry. I should have shared the wantons Tseng made with you. Come over and I'll heat some up.
[ just—expressing frustration nonverbally, rrrggh. and then: ]
Try again.
Try again.

The woman I'm sparring with? She's skilled, but I don't think she'd do well for you as a training partner.

The one with a demigod for a bestie? Old news.
[ his tone's only getting sharper. ]
Last shot.

[Hmmm... What else then? Rude really doesn't know.]
I can think of nothing that Rufus and Tseng would not have briefed you on.

What, am I the only stupid motherfucker here who didn't?! What the fuck!

I briefed Rufus.
[And presumed that Reno, who was better at finding Zack than he was, had already met the man. He had assumed that the two had connected, and it was an understanding between them.]

Yeah, well, Rufus didn't fucking think to brief me. And you didn't think it was worth running by me? It's kind of a big fucking deal.
[ considering the little issue that Rufus can't ever know about, where they directly defied orders and all. y'know? that really big deal. ]

[Rude sighs. Yes, he's going to be punished for this, and it isn't fair.]
I'm sorry that in our three days, I haven't mentioned it.

Yeah, I'm sorry you hadn't, either, shit for brains! I just made an asshole of myself on the public net!
[ just— verbally keysmashing his anger out again, and then... sighing (and wheezing). blowing up on Rude is not helping. ]
Y'know? I just really didn't need that type of shit today.

[Rude sighs and takes a moment to respond.]
I was just so shocked to see him. And happy.

I have purchased headphones for you. I'm planning on staying in the apartment most of the day so you're welcome to come by anytime.
Yeah, I... "happy," I dunno if that's the word.
[ his happiness receptors are kind of broken at the moment dude. Reno sort of inhales, and then just—sighs, exasperated and not in an impatient, angry way; an upset way. ]
He's so fucking young.

He's so fucking young.
[Far too young. And it's not like Zack ever got the chance to be much older. He'd been missing so long before he passed.]
He's still Zack. I didn't know how to tell him Cissnei left.

Of course, sir. I will be over shortly. Provided Tseng is not there.
[He'd rather not walk in on something.]
[He'd rather not walk in on something.]
Tseng will be gone until this evening., it's just me here.
Understood. I did not wish to interrupt a briefing.
[That is the euphemism he intended to stick to for all of this. Because debriefing would be going too far.]

Of course. Tseng or I will inform you and Reno when we have work to attend to.

Understood sir. It would be disrespectful to interrupt the business of superiors.
I appreciate it.
Let yourself in anytime, I'm just doing some reading and paperwork.
