"Ugnnh…" A young Reno squeaked out, clenching the papers he was sent to fetch closer to his chest, a comfort thing he always did.

'Crap.' The young redhead thought, looking frantically from side-to-side. He was sent to get the papers, yes, but…one problem. He didn't know his way back. And he didn't bother to get a map. Nor did he bother to ask for directions from the lady he had to get the papers from.

Just then, a kind of bell rang. "Huh?" Reno asked, looking up at the ceiling. "What was that…?" It was then that a huge crowd for SOLDIERs exited from the many doors to his upper right, and they were heading his way.

Reno 'eeped' and squished himself against the wall, making as much room between the SOLDIERs and him as possible. His bright blue eyes widened even more. They looked like a stampede of elephants… 'Oh Goddess…!' he thought, terrified. He was gunna get run over! Reno shut his eyes and whimpered slightly, hopping that the stampede would end soon.

"Hey, you okay there?" a voice said from his right. Reno gasped, eyes shooting open as he whipped around to face an older cherry-brunette with blue eyes. He was wearing a first class SOLDIER uniform.

"U-um…y-yeah…" Reno stammered, quietly, flushed in embarrassment. The other chuckled softly.

"You are…?"

"Huh? O-oh! Um…I'm Reno…Reno Sinclair…s-sir…" he wasn't dumb. Anyone knew that if you spoke to a first, you showed respect. Turk trainee or not! The other smiled.

"Well, nice to meet you Reno. I'm Genesis, by the way. No more 'sir' okay?"

"O-okay si- I mean Genesis!" Reno quickly corrected himself. He watched Genesis look him up and down, looking at his outfit.

"So you're a Turk trainee?"

"Y-yes!" Reno said, a bit of pride reaching in his voice. He had always wanted to be a Turk. Ever since he was little.

"Shouldn't you be back at the Turk office then?" Crap.

"U-um…yes. I should…"

"Then why are you here Reno?"

"I, um, h-had to go fetch these papers yo." Reno said, a bit more comfortable now. Genesis blinked for a moment before smiling in understanding.

"You're lost, yes?" Reno flushing face was clearly more than enough of an answer. Genesis chuckled more. "Alright. Come on then. I'll show you back."

"Y-you will?"

"Of course."

"Thank you thank you yo!" Reno said, stumbling a bit as he trailed Genesis.
