Zack here, leave a message. 🐺🐺🐺 sender id: activatingcombatmode

[Bruh.]

It's not like yours is any cooler, man. I can already picture Tseng cringing.

I ended up with the paladins. Don't have a specific ship yet, though. You?

Dude, don't dis the Turks! You know better!
What Tseng doesn't know won't hurt him. Besides, why would he mind?

[He would mind. Or, rather, he would indeed cringe at it. It's such a Reno thing to say when discretion would be valorous. Reno, however, is not valorous and they all know it.]

Well, no surprise there. All that formal and upholding order nonsense fits you, Fair. A good little SOLDIER. Me? Oh, I'm a paladin, too. But don't expect that to make me go easy on you, yo!

Why would he mind? He would care about the calm and cool and collected image of the Turks, that's what. And you're none of those things.

[He laughs.]

You're a paladin too, then? Looks like we're co-workers again. Sort of. You sure you can keep up?

[He honestly doesn't mind it. At least Reno is a familiar face.]

So what? We have other sides to our reputation! We may be the subtle side of Shinra but we're still not to be messed with! We're tough and people need to realize that instantly. I make sure they recognize what they're messing with if they're stupid enough to try.

Can you? I expect you not to get in the way or hold me back. Before you know it, I'm gonna be at the top just like always.

Yeah, yeah. I know Turks are tough. And so are you. Still doesn't cancel out the fact that Tseng would probably roll his eyes at you right now.

[It's all good, buddy. Even if Zack's opinions on Shinra are ... very different these days.]

Anyway, paladin work just yells good guy work. I was made for something like this so it's gonna be a piece of cake.

Fine. Whatever.

[Guess who's rolling his eyes right now instead of the mentioned. You guessed it: Reno.]

Yeah, I got that feeling. Have fun with that, Fair. It sounds like a bore.

What, you don't wanna do the same thing? Doing some honest good guy work might help you look alive, man.

Seriously? Are you really asking me that? I've got a calling, man. Once a Turk, always a Turk.

Don't worry. I won't betray your precious 'good guy' band of paladins. We just always do our job the way we know how, ya know?

[If anyone outside of the Turks would understand, it would be Zack. Right?]

Alright, alright. You do you, man. I'm not gonna stop you.

Just don't get yourself in trouble.

[Because Tseng's not here to bail either of them out.]
