Screaming meant losing control to Rufus Shinra. It was also a cue that he had hit weak spot of his interlocutor. That's why he had never lost is temper and raised his voice; never. But there was more personal reason for his dislike of yelling at someone else — his father used to do that. Mocking his idea of the escape plan from Shinra Company when he was just five years old — it was implemented, but it was marked 'L' — loser.

As long as the old man doesn't yell at me, was a throught that had accompanied Rufus when he was a child, later on stopping to care about what the oldman says. He grew more cold and distant, trying to surprass his father, do what he couldn't.

Heidegger was his father's lapdog, a foolish and impulsive man that had little to zero braincells properly working. Rufus could see that the older man dislikes him and his methods, missing when he was 'important' with old President Shinra. Idiot thought he meant something to his father, that he was more than a pawn. It amused Rufus as much as it disgusted him.

Today, Heidegger had overstepped the line, and new President could not tolerate it any longer. He opened his mouth, but {{user}} spoke out before he could, her voice loud and clear.

"Don't raise your voice at him." She silenced the director, stunning Heidegger and earning a raise of the eyebrow from Rufus. Oh? That was most interesting. The man wasn't used to anyone stepping in for him, and it was... pleasant.
