clockmaster | [Rufus-Day Party DDD event style]

[Takes Reno's arm to help him, concerned about his injury]

What do you mean? Was he hurt, too? [He hadn't seemed hurt, and Tseng is surprised to hear this]

[Wraps his arm around Tseng's shoulder and smirks quite confidently] Pffft...nobody gets hurt on a date with Reno...well...except me of course, but that's no big deal.

No, he wasn't hurt, I was between him and the anti-ShinRa guys the whole time [looks thoughtful] He took care of me though, I remember that.

[Snorts faintly] Well, I think you did the right thing by protecting Lazard. He may not be Rufus, but he catches a lot of flak for the same things, I imagine.

Well I guess. You can't kiss a guy and then leave him to fend for himself...besides we were kind of attached and he ain't so great at hand-to-hand combat.

[He's not jealous. Definitely not. He's not even sure who he's not jealous of.]

I don't think I could imagine you running off and leaving anyone to fend for themselves, kisses or not.

[He's way too oblivious not that Tseng is obvious about being not jealous.]

Well no...unless it's someone I really don't like...then again I probably wouldn't kiss him either.

So you like Lazard?

[Is still oblivious] Well, yeah, I think I do.

...Ah, well, that's good. [Awkward] Maybe you should ask him if you could stay with him, instead. If you prefer. I won't be offended.

What're you talking about? [Confused] You already invited me to stay with you, didn't you?

[Feeling extremely foolish now] Yes, I did. Never mind, I...I think I misunderstood.

Misunderstood? [Dawns on him] Ah, I see...it ain't like it's... you think I'm attracted to Lazard?

[Well, that wasn't quite the word he'd thought, but he shrugs] Well, naturally. He's an attractive man.

So, it'd be natural to enjoy kissing him or [glances at Tseng] wanting him right?

[He's not enjoying this conversation one bit]

[In an aloof sort of way] Naturally it would be. That's why I said you could go to him if you preferred, that's all. But I'd still like for you to stay.

Yeah, I wanna stay with you. You came all over me, you should be responsible for keepin' me [grins but he's still confused] I just don't know what you're thinkin' about, s'all.

[He glances away as his cheeks warm slightly] Well, as I'm responsible for you tonight, I wouldn't shirk that responsibility. [Pauses] What I thought didn't matter, forget it.

[Stretches his free arm over his head and yawns again] Your responsibility huh? Guess I'm yours tonight.

[Looks ahead grinning] You're gonna keep me all confused then, I get it.

[Smiling again, watching Reno sidelong] You are, then.

[Facepalm] I just went temporarily insane and thought you...liked Lazard.

Yeah [chuckles] too bad we can't do much else apart from sleep tonight though.

I do like Lazard, or do you mean love?

[Ironically:] I'm sure we'll survive one night.

[Pauses] That's...basically what I meant.

I don't know, keeping my hands to myself, it's going to be tough work.

Well, I feel some affection for him...and I wouldn't mind sleeping with him. I have to admit I've thought of sleeping with the both of you [perverted grin] Love, though...I'm a Turk. Actually I thought you and Lazard were an item...he told me that you kiss better too.

[Soft chuckle] Well, I have a lot of willpower...

[He chokes and stares at Reno for a second, caught off-guard] No, no, there was a virus where we thought we were married, that's all. [He's not even touching that threesome suggestion]

[Reno pulls a face that's akin to something like a pout, or as close to pouting as Reno ever got] I do too...but where sex is concerned it's different.

Yeah, I saw you playing with your ring finger that day [nudges Tseng's cheek with his nose still grinning] and I was serious when I said I'd like t' have you both in a bed with me once, but I guess that's just between the two of us.

I'm well aware of that...

[Flushes again, his eyes widening a little] You haven't said anything to Lazard?
