Tseng could only shake his head. "I'm quite certain you're going to need to discover that yourself - unless you had the impression this would be the only quarrel the two of you would face in the scheme of being lovers, instead of simply partners. If that's the case, perhaps it's best you don't reconcile." They were both people who took most things in stride - and could still take immense affront at specific slights. If Reno needed to be told in detail how to fix this now... there'd be little hope he'd be capable of handling Rude long term. "I would say that speaking to him, while in the same room, is usually a good start to get someone to listen to you. They find it surprisingly harder when being avoided - no matter who is doing the avoiding. I believe, in this case especially, you will need to lead by example."
In other words, Reno, suck it up and talk to the big guy. He certainly couldn't expect Rude to speak to him first.
