It was pretty obvious--at least to Rude--that Reno hadn't put in that rest like he said he would. The slight smirk faded shortly after this realization, though Rude didn't let up his makeshift foot rub.

"Tseng might be a while--you should rest." He wasn't going to argue if Reno refused. He'd just punch him out. Reno never seemed to look after himself the way that he should. It was probably one of the reasons he was assigned a partner to begin with. Rude was just glad that he could usually talk reason to him more often than not.
