Room 429, Tuesday Afternoon

[raspberryturk]

Getting out and appreciating being back on Fandom? Reno wasn't up for getting out and appreciating being back on Fandom.

Reno was up for sitting in his room, really. Sitting was good. He'd gotten sleep and he'd handwavily done his morning training with Ghanima, and sitting by his window smoking seemed to be the order of the remainder of the day, at least until radio.

Sitting at the window, reminding himself why it was he always figured Turks don't date.

He was going to go through a few packs, today.

[Door's closed, and post is open, but with an "I leave for work in half an hour and then have Radio tonight so expect super, super slowplay" warning.]

Reno considered that, carefully.

This was the sort of thing that required careful consideration.

"I'll give you a quarter of my winnings, converted to whatever freaky Earth currency you want it in, yo."

This was a betting pool. This was sacred. Reno would make the sacrifice in order to keep the results clean.

Yurika twirled her hair as she thought about it. "If either of them calls me and asks for help, does that count as interfering?" she asked. It was important to get all your facts right. "And Rude's got to agree too."

Besides, Rude was going to win. Tseng wasn't stupid. Yurika would be willing to place money that he already knew, or at least suspected.

"Well, yeah, Rude's gotta agree. I, uh... Kinda can't see either of them callin' and askin' for romantic advice or whatever, though." Reno blinked and scratched his head. "Unless they do? I dunno. Maybe askin' about it counts as tryin' to make a move? We're gettin' into gray areas here that we're gonna have to talk over with my partner in crime, zoto."

"Elena is a girl," she said slowly, using small words so even a sleep-deprived Reno could understand. "Girls gossip."

[raspberryturk]

"So do guys," Reno replied, almost indignantly, even. "I mean, I gossip. Not with Elena, yo. I mean, Rude and I do. S'how I found out Elena liked Tseng. Uh."

...

"I mean. You know."

...

"I need more ramen, I think."

Yurika laughed and stood up, holding out her hand. "Busted, Red. So busted. Tell you what? Let's go get some real food at one of those new places in town. Maybe then your brain might start functioning again."

"Then you can call Rude while we wait for our food, and we'll figure out the rules."

[raspberryturk]

"Food. Rules. Two concepts I think I can manage to keep pretty straight in my head for the time bein', yoto."

He smiled a sheepish, tired, somewhat lopsided smile, and he nodded, and he made his way for his door.

Food. And then rules.

This is why girls existed, Reno figured. They got all the brains in this operation, or something.
