"…and we've secured grid four for development."
Reno really wasn't paying attention. Rude was taking notes, anyway. Instead, the redhead was watching the blond boy across the table from him. The young Shinra executive was also pretending to pay attention, his hand distractedly scribbling across the page in front of him, but his mind was obviously elsewhere. Reno watched Rufus' eyes carefully, trying to size him up. Blond hair partially obscured the blue eyes from the redhead's gaze, until the younger man suddenly lifted his head slightly to lock eyes with the Turk. Though caught off guard, Reno refused to look away.
Skinny little Shinra boy, he mused, who does he think he is?
Rufus continued to stare, but his gaze was questioning and careful. Reno merely raised an eyebrow at him—what?
A sharp jab from his left made the redhead look away, and he cursed Rude under his breath for having such an annoyingly pointy elbow. He didn't have to look at him to know the bald Turk was clearly unamused by Reno's distraction. Grabbing his pen, he turned back to his own paper, but not before giving the blond a final look.
Rufus was smirking.
