Reno nodded in all seriousness, over exaggerating his movements as if he had to project the fact that he was actually paying close attention. Maybe he did, he usually didn't look like he was paying any attention to detail. Even when he was.
Technically, he knew Rufus knew this. He'd relied on Reno so far for getting missions complete so there had to be some level of trust between them. But for whatever reason Reno was acting strange today in his efforts to be spot on. Well, mostly. He still lounged and his suit would never be on straight and proper but his demeanor was oddly alert and (semi-)formal even if his speech patterns didn't change.
"Good to know you're all set," Reno declared and then cocked his head as he listened to Rufus give him the business part of the conversation. That was fine. Rufus was the man with the plan. And Reno didn't mind following him. He'd always done right by the Turks. That said a lot to someone like Reno.
Mission report was a go!
"Yeah, I got a Summon materia," Reno responded. "So, the deal is we only get the one thing from home when we get here, right? Well," Reno pulled out his baton and electricity crackled for a moment before he put it away. "That was my one thing. I ain't complaining because a lot of schmucks get stuck with useless shit when they arrive. But the train shop has the accessibility to pull things from our homeworlds and bring 'em here to us. That's how I got the materia."
Which meant that anyone could ask for similar objects from home. However, Reno went on to paint a clearer picture for his boss.
"Pretty sure it has to be," he stuck up one finger, "from your own world," and a second finger, "and it can't be a weapon proper. So far." His let his hand drop. "See, the way I figured that out is because the Summon I got? Completely defensive. And small to boot. So it fits on the train and it has no offensive spells whatsoever."
He had been annoyed when he had first discovered that fact but by this point he was chill about it. That, and going into the situation report had him as relaxed as could be. It felt natural, normal to be talking like this. He was doing his job; he was being a Turk again. Nothing better than that.
"I also tried to get more Shinra tech from the train last time I went shopping but it didn't like any of my suggestions. It really has a thing against weapons. But protective and curative materia can still be bought.
"Speaking of which, the girl here, the one that hung out with Avalanche back then--Yuffie Kisaragi--she's here and she has a Restore materia. Other than me and Elena, and now you, that's it from our world so far."
