[Parties are great. Kunsel loves parties. Bonus points if the party is at a bar with plenty of booze in its stock. Drunk coworkers make for the greatest sources of gossip, and Kunsel's all about getting good dirt.

Seated off to the side - close enough to watch and listen, just far away enough to hopefully not draw much attention - the SOLDIER Second nurses a drink.

And watches.

If nothing else, this party's already promising some decent hilarity.]

[Ah. Cissnei. Kunsel's eyes slide to her as she approaches, caution keeping him from reacting more than that. She's a Turk, and he's long since learned to be wary of the Turks, no matter that Zack seems to think she's a friend. Sure, SOLDIER and the Turks pull missions together sometimes, but trusting someone to do their job and trusting someone are two very different things.

Besides, considering Kunsel's habit of poking his nose into things, it's never struck him as wise to put himself in their sights. Though if she's approaching him, he may already be screwed.

Or maybe she's just looking to sit down somewhere well away from collateral damage from Reno's antics.

Either way, time to play things up as casually as he can. Cheerfully, he lifts his drink and gestures wryly.]


I don't mind socializing. But hey, who am I to turn down free entertainment?
deus_ex_phs: (Heh)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-09 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yet. That's a key word right there.]

Right. [No point denying what he knows she knows. The politeness earns a crooked smile, though, and the faintest release of tension. If she's willing to be polite, she's probably not here for anything more than small talk.

Probably.

You never really can tell with the Turks.]


And you're Cissnei. Zack's talked about you.

[His own olive branch, of sorts, bringing up Zack. A hint at stories passed between friends in the past is a good way to keep things relaxed.]

[A snort of amusement escapes from Kunsel before he can muffle it.]

Zack probably wouldn't know restraint if it hit him across the face with handcuffs.

[Hey, being friends with Zack doesn't mean he can't crack jokes at his friend's expense.]

But I can't argue with you there. About him being a good person, I mean, not about the other. Not sure it's fair, comparing me to him.

[He might have said more, but he abruptly cuts himself off.]

...don't you dare tell him I actually said that.
deus_ex_phs: (Looking up)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-09 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he shouldn't. He really, really shouldn't. Playing with a Turk is dangerous. But that grin. And that threat.]

What, you think he doesn't already know how much of a sap I am? I was talking about the pun.

[The best bluffs have a grain of truth to them.

The question is, will she buy it?]
deus_ex_phs: (Explain a thing)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-09 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Nailed it. He's reasonably certain she bought it. Or maybe the pun was bad enough to distract her. He's willing to settle for that.]

And now you know why I don't want him to know. Do you know how much he abuses the puns he can make with his name? Don't feed into that, for both our sakes.
deus_ex_phs: (Wh-what is this?)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-09 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Aw, dammit.]

He knows I care! Come on, he doesn't need to hear you say what kind of person I think he is! It's just going to go to his head!

[Or worse. Because if Zack *doesn't* let it go to his head, it probably means he's going to turn it around on Kunsel.]
deus_ex_phs: (Surprise)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-10 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kunsel's expression is immediately wary. That's a loaded "for now" if he's ever heard on.]

For now, until what?

[What does she want?]
deus_ex_phs: (Serious)

[personal profile] deus_ex_phs 2016-05-11 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kunsel has to hold back a wince. It's one thing to know that the Turks are probably aware of who you are and what you do, and another thing to have it confirmed directly to your face.]

Have I caused any problems yet?

[He feels that's only fair to point out in his defense. Most of his information gathering has been fairly benign, only meant to help his friends, or even the company itself. Anything that could land him in real hot water?

Well, he knows how to keep his mouth shut.]
heroproceeding: (LIKE I ASKED.)

totally not here

[ SWEET SHIVA KUNS.

BRO

BRO

YOU AND I ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS.

deus_ex_phs: (Brofist)
