To be honest, Reno didn't really blame Cissnei either. It just stung not to be trusted as much as he was used to. He had gotten all too used to their odd little family, and this was simply a reminder of how it hadn't -always- been like that. Which was a mental sore-spot for Reno, not quite so easily remedied.

"I think if ya ever retire, you could get a job doing this. Damn, you're good," he insisted in a voice that rumbled slightly with contentment.
And said Fluffy? The creature flopped down on the floor with a little, bored huff. Quiet - for now.
"But... you're right," he reluctantly admitted. "I promise I'll be more careful. Now I know Rufus likes to make the fluffy thing jump. So while the President is training his new pet, I'll just make sure there's more slack in the leash. Problem solved."
