"Hey, Cissnei, if that really is your name, Rude and I are going out for drinks after we get back—you should come," Reno offered. He leaned over to look at her from his position in the front seat of the car, while Rude maneuvered them back to headquarters.

Cissnei returned his look from the corner of her eye but said nothing. Her arms were crossed, and she had one leg over the other, but her head was facing the window. The last time Reno had invited her to join them, he forgot to mention Rude wouldn't be there, and she wasn't amused at all by his desire to be alone with her.

"I'll pass," she offered instead.

She could feel Reno's eyes on her, but she continued to look out the window as they neared the Shinra building. All she wanted to do was get back so she could take a long, hot shower—and get out of the suit. She definitely didn't want to be around a drunken Reno anytime soon.

"Well, if you change your mind…" he paused, then added with a grin, "I'll save you a seat anyway."
