Rufus watches what Tseng is doing intently, there is a little quirk at one corner of his lips when he's able to get the passcode right the first time without thinking. But his attention is caught by the mention of Sephiroth and he frowned as he lowered the phone. "How many-" but he stops, lowering the phone to the desk.

This wasn't a surprising request despite the formal nature of Tseng's message. He looks at Tseng quietly, taking a moment close the phone carefully, tucking it into an inner pocket of his coat so it wouldn't get misplaced, deciding that they could talk about the projects later because they needed to be working together if they were going to be successful.

"Yes, Tseng?" His expression only relaxes slightly around his eyes but he was going to wait for Tseng to continue.
