Rude had to agree. A small part of him was interested to know what was being said out in the hallway, though he knew better than to try and eavesdrop where he wasn't wanted. Hopefully whatever issue that Cissnei had with the boss could be worked out, at least enough so that there wasn't a noticeable tension between them every time the two of them were within a certain proximity of one another. At the end of the day, though, it wasn't his problem.
When Reno invited him to go and take a load off, Rude just stood his ground. One dark eyebrow lifted above the rim of his shades as he regarded the growling beast, who looked as though he were debating whether he should wash all of that meat down with the rest of Reno's hand or not. Somehow his partner's guarantee that the fiend wouldn't bite did little to ease Rude's concern.
"Probably," Rude agreed when Reno caught on to the fact that they would likely be assigned to deal with the less pleasant aspects of owning a pet now that Rufus had decided to keep the wild Fang. It took him a moment, but eventually he decided to chance it and he moved closer to sit at the spot that Reno had indicated on the bed. He wouldn't hesitate to punch the creature in the head and pass it off as early nap time if Rufus happened to come back in and see his new pet out cold. Plus, it seemed a lot more interested in Reno for whatever reason--which was just fine by Rude.
"She said anything to you?" Rude asked, referring back to the Cissnei situation. She seemed a lot more comfortable with Reno since she'd arrived. It was understandable, as Rude was pretty much used to the fact that people often considered him intimidating or hard to relate to. In fact, he preferred it that way.
