Johnny snaps his head to the left, in the hopes that ‘you’ meant you someone else and not him. Specifically not him. Anyone but him, he bemoans, as he becomes aware of those next to him inching just that little bit further away from where he stood. He swiftly glances over to his right, scanning the faces there… praying that someone, anyone, would come forward to respond. Only to reach the realization, a few seconds later, that everyone else is staring right back at him. Oh, come on…     

 ❛  Man , you ShinRa bastards just don’t know when to call it quits huh… I ain’t got shit to say to you, or Public Security.  ❜

“Amusing how you speak of public security when the President of Shinra is before you.”  A lowering of his eyes, he glanced to the side at his bodyguards for the evening. They were Soldiers, ones that were very familiar with the young man before him. He had exchanged his Turks for these others often now, Reno was still recovering from his brush with death and the Turks had other issues assigned to.

They were, however, never too far away.

“They spoke of you; your name is echoed quite a lot in Shinra. Any reason to why you gained such a following?”

He knew the reason, he just enjoyed hearing it from others—to catch them in their lie and twist it just enough for them to break.
