"Exhausted, as I'm sure you are." Rufus hadn't been the only one who had just lost someone in the last day. He let himself be pulled closer, looking at him closely.

"I'm sorry about Reno. That I couldn't do more." His voice is quiet and he doesn't look away from Rude. Reno had been there to find him along with Rude when everyone thought he was dead after Meteorfall and then had been the one to help him out of the cave. Rufus had only been able to watch him die.

"I know he's more than just your partner as a Turk to you. He's saved my life but I couldn't do the same for him." He knew that it wasn't his job to do that but it didn't matter that night. Reno had come to him and he couldn't do anything.
