"You're late."
The words were neither authoritative, nor accusatory. Just a simple statement that happened to pass from President to Turk. Tseng dropped beside the man who was clearly more interested in the glowing television than his lunch, just like the first time Tseng had accidentally stumbled upon this noon-time ritual... And eventually came to join him. Somehow.
But it was so hard not to enjoy bad Costan soaps.
"What did I miss?"
Rufus didn't look away from the television. "Kevin is the father of Carmelita's baby."
Incredulity. "Carmelita wasn't even pregnant yesterday."
"It is truly amazing the things you can miss in twenty minutes."
A sound halfway reminiscent of Dark Nation on a bad day escaped the Turk.
"I could kill you with my bare hands, you know."
"Indeed." He smirked, unflinching. "But then you would not find out what else you missed. And I assure you, this was a rather plot heavy episode."
Tseng growled again, silently cursing Rufus Shinra for not caring enough to set his Tivo, the cast and crew of Los Cuentos del Corazón...
...And finally, himself for getting involved in the situation in the first place.
