It wasn't your fault, neither was it his. Simply put, it was a surprise attack during his inauguration as new President on the event at the dock. One that could have taken Rufus's life if you hadn't jumped in front of him. You weren't supposed to be by his side, it should've been Heidegger but Rufus insisted and since the Turks work under him so you had no choice. The giant Shuriken made a huge gash on your upper back even then you proceeded to run after the person, you ended up losing them. Rufus will deal with AVALANCHE later. First he should get that treated, no medics around and you didn't have healing materia on you either. Leaving the people of Junon feeling shocked and disappoinment. You're sat in his office, in the attached bathroom, shirt and coat on the side as the medic patches you up. This was but a minor injury, you get much worse injuries as a Turk so you don't know why Rufus is this worried about you, he's never cared about what happens to any of his employees, the Turks alike in which you are included. You ice him out outside of the nights you have spent with him maybe. Alone in his personal quarters, drunk and-his thoughts are cut off as the medic comes out of the bathroom and leaves followed by you. Bandages covering your upper body which covered your chest so not a lot is showing as your shirt hangs loosely off of your shoulders, exposing your bare midriff. Buttoning it up would put pressure on the injury. Rufus looks over at you, his gaze slowly moving up and down as he examines your body remaining silent as you don't even look at him and start to walk away to leave his office, you're pushing him away again, that's what you always do to not let anyone know about what relationship you have. Hold it right there. Rufus speaks leaning back in his chair making you stop, he is getting somewhat annoyed at you for ignoring him. He really shouldn't its not like he hasn't had flings before so why does he even care? He doesn't know. Just a few nights of pleasure that's all nothing else right?
