Reno nodded. "Let's, please." He turned to the waitress. "Just keep the glasses full. And bring on some peanuts, if you please."
She took down a note and smiled. "OK. Coming right up."
She walked off, coughing almost convulsively into her hand. Reno wasn't sure, but he thought he saw blood on her glove when she pulled it away... Who cares? What am I staring at that one for, anyway? I got my girl right here. And she's perfectly healthy... I can personally attest to that. Nobody can do what she did back at our room without an at least reasonably clean bill of health... ha ha ha... He knocked back a drink of his alcohol.
The band started playing, and as predicted, they nearly blew Reno's head off with sheer sonic force. He yelled back to Nikky. "Yeah, about them... haven't heard a peep from the others since we got here! Think they took off without us?!"

Nikky laughed and shook her head. "I think they went after Kamen's master! The four seemed pretty animate about getting rid of him quickly." She called back over the music. "Or they could have gone out for hair dye and a cut?" She grinned, laughing at the thought of them with other shades of hair color....

"I doubt it!" Reno replied, laughing. "It's weird, but they really can't dye their hair. Lemme tell ya how I know that. I got sent after 'em when they were kids, did I ever tell you about that?" He paused for another drink.

Nikky took a drink before shaking her head. "Nope. But do tell." She grinned wide, this should be amusing. She couldn't picture what Reno was implying, this made her even more curious.

"It's almost sad, really," Reno said as the waitress set down a dish of peanuts in front of him. He cracked one open. "Thing is, back when they were kids, all of Shinra was after 'em. So they sent me an' Tseng an' Rude an' Elena to bring 'em back. There were rumors about them living in some village, south of Midgar... you been there, remember? But you know I've got a soft spot for kids... Two-Tone was right there in front of me, totally oblivious, but I couldn't scoop her up. Somehow I just couldn't do it. Of course, she was a lot shorter, then. But thing is, they coulda disguised themselves but good if they'd'a just dyed their hair. As I heard it from the lab stiffs, there's some chemical reason why dye just doesn't work for 'em. All it does is get their hair wet. THe color doesn't stick. But then somebody else nabbed Ami, and, well, things went downhill from there."

"Ah. That sucks. I would hate to always have that same hair all my life." She thought about it and shook it here head. "It would REALLY suck. I wouldn't be able to blend at all... plus I'd be called old." She fake pouted before taking a drink. She shrugged. "I could dye my hair if I wanted too... but I don't." ^^

"If there's one thing I never mistook those kids for, it was old," Reno refuted, brushing his peanut shells onto the floor as the band ended their intro song, segueing into an shouted introduction of sorts. "And I'm glad you like your hair as it is, baby... I do, too." He took her hand and smiled. "I love you."

Nikky took another swig of her drink before laughing. "Thanks... I wouldn't change it for the world." She smiled at him, taking his hand back and squeezing it gently. "I love you too, Reno."

Reno sighed contentedly... he rose and leaned across the table to kiss her, placing a hand on her neck to draw her closer, as a relatively tamer song started coming from the band (meaning that this one sounded more like a howling moose than a train wreck).

Nikky smiled and kissed him back, moving one hand over to cup his cheek lightly. She knew they were in public... but didn't care. Most of them looked too drunk to even look their way.... She stroked his cheek as she kept the kiss soft and loving.

He continued the kiss, deepening it... he broke it for a second and smiled, stroking her cheek gently. "Feel like dancing?" He certainly did, mostly because he liked to dance with her, but partly to get that much farther from the stage.

Nikky kissed him back before grinning. "G*d, I swear you can read my mind..." She teased a bit before leaning back into her seat to finish her drink before standing. "Let's go." ^^

He threw back the remainder of his drink and grinned, standing with her. He took her hand and led her to the area beside the jukebox, pulling her into his arms. "Not really, but I am a psychic, babe..."
He moved with her slowly, trying to avoid stepping on her feet or anyone else's. The song playing right now wasn't exactly the slow dance type, but he didn't really give a rat's butt about that.

Nikky laughed and moved with him, going at his tempo. "Aw, just take away my fun..." She teased as she grinned. She loved being around him, it was so much fun... so comfortable.
She didn't mind the fact that they weren't going with the song, who really was paying attention anyway? She was having fun, thats all that mattered....

Reno nuzzled her, holding her close. "We can go faster if you want," he said. He caught their reflection in the surface of the jukebox... Nice-looking couple. He smiled, embracing her. I'm starting to kinda get the hang of this dancing thing.
