Room 429, Friday Afternoon

After class, Reno headed back to his room. His nice, quiet room. To play with his ferret. Because this Parents Weekend thing was for the birds, and he didn't keep birds. Or have parents. So he figured he was pleasantly safe.

[Room thing part, totally open, la.]

While Reno is sitting around, watching his ferret try to eat his socks.

Reno's phone was ringing.

If Reno didn't answer -- he was the boss, and it was a Friday afternoon -- then they would simply have to track him down.

Tseng was, perhaps, very amused with himself, yes.

"Yo!" Reno was going to answer, sure. Why the heck not, right?

"Reno," Tseng said. His smile was audible. "Are you ... busy?"

"Naaaah. Just playin' with the ferret. Takin' it easy, an' shit. Quiet weekend, you know?"

Well. One could dream...?

"Really?" Tseng mused. "I was under the impression that your ... school had some sort of an event scheduled."

........ Oh.

Oh shit.

"Well... kinda, yeah? Parent thing, you know how it is? So I'm not... expectin' anyone?"

Oh please ShivaIfritOdinHadesLeviathanRamuh please let this phone call not mean what Reno suddenly suspected it meant.

"The brochure said that anyone could come," Tseng said cheerily. "It wasn't restricted to parents. It was very clear on that point."

........

DAMMIT.

"Where are you right now, boss?"

"I have just checked in to the Arms Hotel," Tseng said, sitting down on the bed and looking around. "Room 203. It has a lovely view of this town, though it's not quite high enough for it to be 'scenic.'"

"You're. Here. On the island? Uh."

Reno sounded thrilled. Really.

...

"Why?"

"I was invited," Tseng said. He was possibly enjoying himself a great deal. "By that brochure. I felt I should like a vacation. Rude agreed."

That should get Reno's attention.

Reno perked. Mako honked! Reno grinned.

"Did Rude come along, too?"

THIS WAS IMPORTANT, KAY.

"That information is classified," Tseng said. Oh, being the Boss was the best. "I cannot divulge the identity of any person who may or may not be in room 202. Which means if you do not come and greet me, you may never know."

"You got any idea how much I hate you right now?"

Reno grabbed the ferret and he grabbed the ferret's harness and leash and he was already running down the stairs of the dorms.

Reno was a fast runner. Mako was honking excitedly. Reno still hadn't hung up.

"Soooooo damn much," he continued.

There was a long pause.

"Is that your ferret?" Tseng asked.

Being the Boss meant you asked the strangest questions.

"Nope. I took up throwin' my voice as a hobby in my spare time, zoto. Workin' on my goose impression."

Mako honked some more. Wheeeeee, running! Never been running before! THIS WAS AWESOME.

"I think it's comin' along nicely, yo!"

Aaaaand out the door and running for the hotel, woot!

"Room two-zero-three," Tseng repeated, unnecessarily. Turks did not need information repeated. "Unless I am across the hall chatting with the inhabitant of two-zero-two. Should there be one. I shall have to find out."

And with that, he hung up.
