[ Listen, he had intended to sneak around, but how could he help himself with all this fun? The point of a distraction like that is to stand right in the middle of it and get blown to shit right along with it, right? In two years, both he and Rude will learn this lovely lesson once again and be none the worse for wear (kinda) for it, so fuck it. He's on the right track, baby, he was born this way. No one he fells, save for maybe that one guy who gets Jeffed right through the middle of his spine, is gonna die tonight if they're smart enough to seek attention for their injuries. And maybe this guy he's got hostage, too. This guy, who he's strangling with the flat of his blade, whose struggling goes oddly slack when these two lunatics kiss each other. To be fair, Reno's grip does a little, too, and it'd be the perfect opportunity to escape otherwise, but the moment passes much too quickly. Just as quickly, Reno's blade pulls tight against his captive's throat again. ]
What was that for?
[ And in almost the same breath, he relinquishes his victim and slams the hilt of his lovely lovely sword into the back of his neck. Down the poor sap goes like a sack of rocks, and Reno flips him over to remove his uniform and pull it on over his getup. His clothes are all so tight, he can get away with it. It's fine. As he's pulling the outfit on, he has a realization: ]
Oh, it's Tsukuyomi, isn't it. You can kiss the sword, if you'd rather.
[ he named it. of course he named it. the serpent-slayer's moon-kissed blade. ]
