Whether he had heard or sensed Reno walking up was not something Rufus would acknowledge, figured the Turk knew damn well that he wasn't all that sneaky unless he wished to be and that the blonde was always more aware of his surroundings than he let on, and so would know the answer without being told. Even if it seemed as if Rufus were flat-out ignoring him or not acknowledging his presence for a good, long moment.

At least he ignored him long enough to finish reading a little bit more of his book, flipping a page idly as if he were going to continue to do so, before responding by directing blue eyes towards Reno and commenting with a bored tone he knew Reno wouldn't believe. "A book on history, actually. Finally decided to de-attach from Rude for a bit?""
