[ That's what Reno chooses to respond to, reaching his hand out to take that itty bitty lady's gun and, for the time being, tuck it into his jacket pocket. That's as much an acceptance of the situation as there's ever going to be, but really, does there need to be any more than that? He knew this was going to be an unboxing of all his old demons the second Tseng showed him that square of fabric and started speaking names he'd have preferred to leave behind in his past forever. And he's still here.
He hooks the hanger over his forearm and glances to the vanity table. After Veld shut his shit down a handful or so years ago, he'd gotten rid of his tools of the trade. The jewelry, the hairpins, the makeup outside of the stuff he still uses to cover up his tattoos and change the shape of his face from time to time. One look at what's on the table tells him this stuff isn't going to suit him, first of all, and secondly, it's probably expired. If they're leaving, like, right now, he'll make do, but if they've got time, he's got some shopping to do. Already he's plotting contour, what brushes he needs, colors for his eyes, his cheeks, his lips. What to do with his hair, where to find some nice and authentic decorative hair sticks on short notice...
Oh, it's alright though, totally still listening. ]
