--Meadow

Reno was here at promptly 0900 in the morning. Though he had actually gotten there earlier to prepare, he didn't mind if students were a bit late. That just gave him an excuse to give them extra work- mostly running around the meadow in lapse.

Oh, and this time he has some weights made out of lead he had made in the workshop. Better be prepared if you mess up!

--- Forest Island

Secretly, Reno darted around the island looking for berries. He had a nice bucketful already, yummy, delicious, juicy looking berries too. These were intended for some of Rusty and his finest wine, made with their revised still that was conveniently hidden somewhere near by. Wouldn't want one of the kids or someone else to stumble on it.

Whistling, Reno felt pretty good. The punch back at the Blind Date had done its job, giving everyone a good time, and it... gave him a strangely satisifed feeling. Their efforts were appreciated, you know? Who cares how long it took to make the stuff anymore. This was a sure ticket.

---Morgue

There was a reason why Reno had chosen this place. Nobody except the creeps came down here, not liking the reminder of death, even though in this place death was a joke. Chances are that people wouldn't be here to overhear what he was going to tell Tseng.

The chill from the freezer units had him rubbing his hands together, but he wasn't sure if that wasn't also partly nervousness. He had felt sure of himself and confident when Tseng wasn't here, like he knew exactly where to go and what to do, but now... he didn't know anymore. Tseng was the one person he actually did have to answer to here, his old loyalties flaring up, though months had weakened them slightly.

Shiva knew how Rusty was feeling, if Sparky himself was this antsy. Maybe he should go talk to him after this...

Either way, it was time.

---Cafeteria


He had started taking his meals regularly here again, after the food stock he and the others had built up ran out, though he still had some leftover nutribars hidden at the bottom of his closet.

That wasn't to say he trusted the food here at all, always opting to make something for himself instead of eating what was served. Usually it was a sandwich with the most innocuous ingredients he could find. This month's menu looked like something out of the Gi Tribe Family Dining arena, and he knew what kind of food those people had eaten.

His mood was somber during breakfast, quiet and not prone to talking. This was a trend ever since the ill fated plot of Ganondorf's. It had hit Reno pretty hard, sending him into that same laid back attitude he had acquired right after returning to Shinra. He was a man with many things on his mind, not a one nice.

Well, one of said students was coming. Might as well come for practice for hand to hand and get better at it. He was good, but there were definitely people here who could probably give him a smack down.

Having risen early himself, Cross had arrived at 9 on the dot to see the red haired man setting up. "Need any help?" Cross called as drew closer.

So he didn't need to help? All right, he would just be doing stretches than for the time being. After all, that was routine. The muscles needed to be loosened, so during the work out he wouldn't have unbearable pain later.

Cross did notice that look the man was giving him and curiously looked back. The question, however, just made him shrug. "I usually get up this early to practice. I have to if I want to be able to do the stuff I want to during the day and night," the boy answered. "Why? Is it weird or something?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't count me out just yet. I have trained with hand to hand before. I might surprise you." He could only give Reno a smirk as he placed his hands on his sides leaning forward. Though, the type of martial arts he did was trying to hit pressure points and temporarily paralyze someone. "But, you might wanna be careful of this," Cross spoke as he lifted his right arm to show his black, mechanical arm.

Cross couldn't help but smile a bit. It was one of the few features he liked about himself and liked having it taken notice of. It made him special, or at least that's what he thought. "I lost my arm when I was fourteen. But in my world we can replace lost limbs with mechanical ones."

But it took him a moment longer to notice that Reno didn't seem too happy. "H-hey are you okay?"

Cross just looked at him for a moment, unsure of what just happened. But shrugging it off as nothing he gave Reno a raised eyebrow to what he said next.

"Dancing lessons? Is it to help us avoid and stuff? Or do you just feel like dancing today?"

Why did everyone think he was as dumb as he looked? Oh, right, probably because of the happy, optimistic, rainbow sunshine attitude he had. The boy did nod though with a smile. "Yup, evasion and speed are what I'm all about! Gotta keep light on your feet to beat up the bad guys you know?" Cross spoke, giving the air a quick jab with his foot.

"Something new! Can't get better if I keep practicing something I'm already good with. Gotta adapt all different kinds of forms together to come up with something really unique after all," Cross replied with a grin.

Cross grinned, placing his hands on his side. "Hit and avoid. Better to overwhelm your opponents with quick but devastating strikes, than using up your energy trying to land one good blow on them."
