"Uhhm" Marlene hummed as an increading number of girls closed in on her, then looking over to Yuffie who had just spat out a mouthful of beer upon hearing Tifa's comment about her crazy-cat-lady-fund cheerfully replied.
"He said her mouth's so big she should put it to better use than talking." She repeated Reno word for word, then smiled again.
"Why are you looking like that?" She asked Elena and Cissinei, "do you all like Reno?"

"I insist," he pressed, placing his hand upon the bar top. "Is it not some kind of unwritten passage of truth that a man should pay for a lady's... expenses... when he takes her out? Be they a glass of wine or slightly less sophisticated bottle of beer... or damage sustained to the establishment."

Reno's words about Yuffie were true...but knowing Reno, not appropriate for little Marlene - she'd kill him about saying such things to the child. Red was creeping in on her again....but at least Elena knew her answer. No, she didn't like Reno in the way Marlene thought - he was a good friend minus alcohol. Tseng would always be top of her list.
"No Marlene, he's just my friend."
Though Cissnei had turned an alarming shade of pink. Elena guessed it was good that only she and Rude knew of what had happened in the hallway at the last Shinra function at the new building...a bit of alcohol and an empty corridor.

"Don't forget the deal, Yuffie. One beer and you have to finish those mission reports."
Okay, she could deal with that-
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly take from the WRO's funds. I happen to know Yuffie has a saving account in Wutai. I'm sure that can cover the repairs."
Yuffie groaned.
"Okay, boss-man sir, whatever you say," she aqcuiesced. "I'll pay." She threw her hands up in the air. "But I want you to know, you're robbing a poor, war-ravaged country trying to pull its economy back together." Well, a little alone-time with a WRO computer and that'd be no problem. At least, in theory. Then she turned back to the bar to hide the smirk on her face. Reeve had said nothing about a maximum time that beer could take...

Tifa laughed a little at the former Shinra exec. He was always so polite. "Reeve, I hate to inform you that we've come into a strange time known as the present. Things are a little different now." She shrugged. "Still, it's nice to see chivalry still exists. Can i get you anything?"
She did her best to ignore Yuffie continuing to mutter under her breath. Wutai was doing fine these days. Besides, all Yuffie ever spent the money on was weapons to assist in her materia thef... liberation.

For a moment - her mind went totally blank, she wasn't going to say anything - no - not while the bar was so full, and with Yuffie there, it would be back to Reno in a matter of seconds - no - her mouth was shut....but that little girl's eyes were still looking at her expectedly, and she could feel Elena still looking at her - maybe she could just change the subject?
"Um - did you get the report on who got what missions yet Elena?"

Marlene may have been young, but she was no fool.
"Hey! Hey! You didn't answer the question!" She pounced on Cissinei, "Do you LIKE him? He's my boyfriend but if you LIKE him then he can be your boyfriend as well!" with her simple view of the world this seemed like the obvious solution, but somehow she could tell that the Turks weren't buying it.
"Elena, does she L-I-K-E him?" Marlene sniggered, "if she does she should ask him to be her boyfriend, that's what I did!"

Cissnei was shooting daggers ... and so was Marlene.
"Ummm, Marlene - why don't you ask Reno is he likes Cissnei ... whenever he shows up."
At this, the blond cast a glance at her watch, wondering where Reno was and, of course, Rude. No chance Tseng would be with them?

Tifa noticed the two Turks floundering in the face of Marlene's rather insistant questions. Thinking fast, she decided action was needed.
Pointing at Marlene's empty milkshake glass, she said "Hey, Marlene, could you maybe take that glass back through to the kitchen and clean it out? I'm kinda busy here."
That wouldn't distract her for long, but it would buy the two women time to at least down something alcoholic.

Thank Bahumet for Tifa!
"G&T when you're ready Tifa, one for Cissnei and whatever you want yourself. Thanks for the save there!"
Even Reno would have been imrepssed with the speed Elena reached the bar. What could she say? A questioning round with Marlene allowed for a drink afterwards!

Contraception...I'm never having kids - I don't care - Never!
Cissnei simply turned and walked to the bar, not even giving the hyper-active ninja the slightest of attention as she barrelled past. It suddenly seemed like the perfect time for something alcoholic...

"Heh, no problem Elena. She can do a one-girl impression of the Inquisition when the mood takes her, and I should know." She fixed the drinks quickly, and slid two of them along to their respective drinkers.
As an afterthought, she poured another Scotch and slid it along to Richard.

With the glass just leaving her lips, Elena thought for a secnd before speaking
"Tifa, can I ask you something?"

Tifa took a mouthful of her orange juice and nodded. "Go ahead. It's not as though I'm leaving anytime soon."

She laughed lightly - duh; Tifa lived here...sometimes Elena noticed how blond she could be. She cast a glance over her shoulder, just to ensure no redhead had entered the door behind her.
"What do you think of Tseng?"
