Challenge: Reno, Rude, Silence.

Tseng raises an eyebrow as he steps into the exclusive Turk's meeting room. Both Reno and Rude were there, but Reno wasn't chattering and Rude wasn't twitching. How very odd.

Confused, the Wutaiian Turk took a seat. Rude nods in greeting as he usually does, but Reno instead of his usual cry of 'Hey Boss!' and sometimes a backbreaking hug just waves cheerfully at him.

That in itself signals that something was wrong. Tseng's worried gold eyes dart from Reno to Rude. He opens his mouth to ask if Reno had gotten himself silenced or something equally stupid but is interrupted by a pointed look from Reno and a finger laid across the redhead's lips.

Directing a confused look in Rude's direction he shuts his mouth. Was the room bugged? He really wouldn't put it past some of Shinra. Or was it something else? Tseng's brow furrows as he considers possible reasons for his Turk's silence.

In the quiet of the room a piece of paper rustles, Tseng looks up to see Rude slide a post-it note towards him. Raising an eye at the color (neon pink), his lips quirk as he reads the short note.

The quiet game. What an ingenious way to keep Reno quiet.


Why yes, I do get lazier and crazier with each passing year, thank you figment of my imagination from ten years ago (This was something Zach said in the end notes, oh the embarrassment). This one is actually really good, I am proud of it.

Thanks to all for reading and reviewing
