Rude...well, he didn't frown at Cissnei, but he might as well have. Why was she alone? Elena was supposed to be here too, unless she was still tired. Rude ought to check up on her. When Yuffie had asked after her, it had thrown him a bit. She was...alive and was gonna stay that way, but that didn't always mean people were okay. Well, some people. Rude and Reno generally felt pretty damn fine if they were still standing. Elena was still young though. And a girl.

But so was Cissnei. But...was Cissnei ok? Rude had completely chickened out of talking to her about serious things. Whatever. Reno's kinda thing.

Kinda...nice though. This. Lurking around dark halls to make mysterious exchanges and all that. Felt almost normal. Just needed his suit.

Rude watched the weird guy he'd thrown at Reno approach. Apparently he was the one after all the crazy shit. Didn't seem the sort to have a mini operation set up, but whatever. He nudged Reno to make the exchange.
