It wasn't his favorite vacation spot but it certainly wasn't his least favorite. The fact that Shinra still owned this place (or could afford to rent it) spoke to the tenacity (or sheer stubbornness) of the young President. Reno didn't think in terms of ex-Shinra. They were still Shinra. Rufus was still the President, and they were all still Turks. Even the old ones, the retired and dismissed, were all still Turks in his eyes. Nothing could change that fact. Once a Turk, always a Turk. They were like family. A very dangerous family good at what they did.
Which, at the moment, was hang out and relax. They all deserved the time off. Circumstances may have changed but the job of the Turks didn't change by much. Sure, they had to lay low there for a while and not cause too much trouble in order for the President's new plan to work, but Reno knew that in the end they would always be back to what they did best. It was just a matter of time and careful planning. If need be, they could be more sneaky about it. That's all.
And sure enough, opportunity rose. The Remnants reared their ugly heads out of the dark and caused trouble. The Turks got to do things their way for a change. It was rough. Reno reveled in it. He and Rude had gotten the easy part, he suspected, and was thankful for it. Tseng and Elena... well, they were tough. They'd pull through. No sense in dwelling.
So a vacation was actually well deserved in his opinion. Relaxation, alcohol, sweet, easy time.
And of course the eventual return of boredom.
This was a lot more fun when he'd constantly had jobs to perform.
Now he was getting restless all over again. He'd bothered Rude about as much as his partner could handle. It was time to move on and give Rude a break. Even Reno knew when enough was enough. That just meant he had to find a new target. He couldn't find Elena for the moment and while he was debating on popping in to see what Tseng was up to, he spotted Rufus on the beach. Alone.
Well, we couldn't have that. What if something happened to the President while no one was watching? They really didn't need another kidnapping on their hands. There had been way too much of that lately as is. That's what Reno convinced himself of anyway as he headed over to plop down next to the blond.
"Yo, Boss!" He glanced over at Rufus with a flick of the eye, took in all he could within the span of a second, and flicked his eyes back out to the view of the ocean. "What'cha readin', yo?"
