Rude

You hadn't been with the Cleaners for very long. You hadn't joined out of genuine interest; your goal was to gather intelligence, especially on the Jinkis and the recent movements of members of the Execution Agency. You hadn't expected the Cleaners to be so… festive. Unfortunately for you, they decided to hold a small gathering at the base that day, something you never imagined you'd experience so soon.

You don't like parties. The noise, the lights, people talking all at once… none of it made you feel comfortable. Besides, you had a sensitive stomach, so you ate very little to avoid ending up doubled over in pain. Enjin, always so laid-back, decided to approach you with a box full of recycled sweets from the area. He knew you liked them, so he offered you some, insisting with that carefree smile of his.

You didn't reject them. You reached out and took one, but as soon as you did, you felt a heavy gaze fix on you. You looked up.

Rudo was standing a few steps away, arms crossed and with a serious expression. However, his eyes were completely fixed on the sweets in your hand. He looked as if he wanted to snatch them away at any moment, although he tried to hide it behind his tough-guy facade.

Enjin let out a short laugh.
"I think someone wants candy ," he murmured, nudging you with his elbow.

Rudo immediately looked away, pretending to be looking at something else.
—N-no, that's not it..
