Rude's Apartment, Edge, Thursday Afternoon

Reno had a bit of a dilemma, and he had today off by some miracle. And so, on his day off, he was going to attempt to fix it.

His living space since he'd moved in to Rude's apartment had become a little on the cramped side. Sure, it was more space than he'd had while he was living in the dorms on Fandom Island. But while he was in school, he hadn't been trying to cultivate greens, either. Unless one counted the green fuzz that sometimes grew on whatever he'd left sitting around, but that was a different thing entirely. As it stood, Reno was staring in bewilderment at the contents of Rude's living room.

Rude had set off for work today with a clearly stated mission for Reno to handle before he got back. He didn't care how he did it, just so long as it was done.

The clutter... would have to go.

So much easier said than done, when you were used to stockpiling whatever you could get your hands on, and you had people sending you care packages from all over creation. Nevermind the assorted bits he'd managed to gather with full intent to toss together a makeshift greenhouse in he future.

"Mako," Reno sighed, plucking the ferret out of his beans for the umpteeth time this afternoon, "I think this couch-surfin' shit ain't all it's made out to be, yo."

[NFB for distance, naturally, but open for the usual riffraff to give their phone calls and what-have-you!]

"To burn out?" she said. "I don't think anyone owes Edge that."

She nearly commented that it wasn't like Tseng was pulling double shifts, but ... he probably was. Not because they had to, but because he was Tseng.

"I ... talked to him," she added, carefully.

"He called," she said idly. "Couple weeks ago. Just probably wanted to see if he could talk me into coming home already."

That wasn't what he'd said, no. Not even close. Elena's radar was seriously off-base, on the subject of Tseng.

"If it gets to be too much, say the word," she said. Meaning it. He'd asked her to enjoy the sky, and she was soaking it in with every bit of herself, but if and when they needed her back, she'd pack within the hour.

"We ... talked. Just like we were old friends, catching up. He made jokes with me."

"That's so weird," she said. "Does that mean -- like, he doesn't think I'm coming back, so we might as well be ... I don't know, friends?"

Elena almost asked Why. She considered for a few moments, instead.

"Because of the sky?" she asked. "Rufus? Your girl? All of it?"

"I ... feel guilty, being here," she admitted. "Not like Edge is gonna go to hell without me, but ... I should be there, working."

She laughed, without much humor to it. "What do you think it'd take for Tseng to learn that?"

Something in that tugged at her heart. So she had to clear her throat and make light of it.

"Do you want the honors, or were you gonna leave that for me?"

"Should've guessed," she teased. "I flake off to go on vacation, and I get stuck with the job no one else wants."

"I wouldn't have pegged Rude as the bottom," she grinned.

Elena snickered. "Lesbians that invited you to participate? That sounds like a letter to one of those shitty porn mags."

Having said that, if anyone was ever invited to be the sole cock at a lesbian orgy, it would be Reno. He oozed sex.

Elena laughed. Oh, she'd missed talking to Reno. That was fucking weird as hell to think.

"Eating pussy like a pro does not make you a lesbian," she noted.

She was checking the picture, and staring at ... him? Her?!

"No way," she laughed. "That's you? If Fandom gives me a dick, I'd ..."

Well. When she got done freaking out, she'd use it. She heard blowjobs were awesome.

She straightened up slightly, looking around. "I shouldn't be checking shit like that out at public, I'll get fired."

"I can't believe I'm working retail again," she laughed. "Clothing store. Not pixie-related, despite the name."
