Reno nodded, looking for all the world like he was just nodding his simple approval at the whole scenario. And, since they were outside...
He pulled a lighter and a pack of cigarettes out of his inside jacket pocket, and was just fixing to light up when--
"Sir! Sir, I'm sorry sir, but there's no smoking on the roof. It's too dangerous up here."
Reno looked utterly scandalized as the tour guide rushed to kind of usher him away from the fireworks toward the edge of the building, which was slightly safer, at least. The rest of the tour group was staring agog, half of them wondering who this idiot was who was about to light an open flame near explosives, the other ones wondering who this upstart tour guide was to scold a man who was so obviously of good breeding.
It was Ino's chance in a big way while Reno put up an argument that had no basis in reality and very little basis in sanity, but every single possible bit of grounding in privilege.
