Rude notices how Tseng doesn't even really bring up the whole issue of deaths and resurrection. He doesn't even gloss over it in vague terms. He's either assuming anyone who needs to know has already been briefed, or deliberately keeping it from spreading. It would make sense either way. If people found out they couldn't die and stay dead then no one would act cautiously. It would defeat the purpose of most of what the meeting had been about.
He waits until it's over to approach his superior.
Stationary until everyone else clears out of the room, Rude takes a few steps to close the distance between them, getting close and lowering his voice to insure they weren't being overheard.
"I understand the importance of the meeting, and I think it's good to get everyone up to speed, I just can't help being concerned. When was the last time you slept?" That question in particular was barely whispered. The last thing he wants to do is broadcast to the whole team that he's concerned about Tseng or is questioning his mental state right now. He had more tact than that.
Still, as someone who hadn't been around to help the time that it mattered, he may be overstepping to compensate for the guilt he still feels over it.
