[ Tseng looks as though he was expecting this, barely batting an eye at the redhead's slick approach. Cloud, this is Reno.
The blonde nods in greeting. He'd been in ShinRa long enough to recognize the name and the ghost of a reputation that accompanied it. The turks were dangerous and Reno was among the most notorious, the one whose name actually got attached to rumors. Seen him once or twice between the floors, too, while standing as one helmeted grunt among many.
Now he wasn't that. He was expected to be an equal? Being a SOLDIER was still the more glamorous job, but he can't deny the appeal of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder among their elite.
Reno, I'm entrusting his education to you. There's an undercurrent to it, he clearly expects that only good habits are going to get passed on. The match was an easy one to make. Cloud's lack of personal skills and diligence would play nicely off of Reno's more wild traits, and Reno's more outgoing nature would make a halfway decent spy out of the boy yet.
The fact that they were both aiming to the top wasn't a coincidence either. ]
It's nice to meet you. [ there's the faintest hint of an accent, one that he's clearly actively trying to hide. but the softness of the nibel region's country accident is hard to cover up. ] I look forward to working with you.
