Tseng offered a nod in return to Reno. It was bad enough to have had Rude disappear, and he wasn't looking to have to add Cissnei's name to number of Turks he'd lost to his arrival. And the faster they got rid of the dragon the better they could manage that.

"If you're going to get the dragon up, make it quick," Tseng commented, voice carrying easily across the distance, despite that he didn't seem to have raised his voice much at all. "And Cissnei, I'd listen to him. I don't want you to risk injuring yourself further."

Besides, if they could only get the dragon rearing again, he had an idea of his own that should help matters along, but that was assuming that Reno's plan was more successful than his last one had been, as bullets continued to pester the dragon.
