Rufus isn't sure if he should tell Rude that Reno's last word is his partner's name but he decides that it wouldn't make a difference at this point. It was done and now they had to move forward from there.

He moves closer when Rude touches him, selfishly seeking out more contact from him. He decides right then that the inventory reports could wait for a few hours while he was here. He had a lot of work to go through but right now he knew he wouldn't be able to focus on anything remotely productive at the moment. He needed to try to get his own personal emotions under control first or else he would make mistakes.

"Just let me stay here for a bit." Tseng and Reno could find him here if they needed to, he really didn't want to deal with anyone else at this moment.
