For one, she was a lot younger than they were and, as Reno had pointed out, that bond that they shared didn't really begin to strengthen into what it was until after Tseng had taken leadership of their group. Cissnei would come around eventually--of that much Rude was certain. He just hoped that anything bordering on insubordination on her part would be overlooked by Rufus until she had been given the chance to fully embrace the idea that not everything was what they once believed it to be.
"You should take more care," Rude pointed out, watching as Reno tried to awkwardly knead the sore muscle of his own shoulder. Reaching over, he opted to offer a helping hand--quite literally, and save Reno the effort by rubbing at the offending shoulder himself.
"How am I supposed to trust you to watch my back when you can't even swing your arm?"
