[Rufus knows that he's not going to be able to mitigate much of Tseng's anger, he can't apologize for what's already happened now. For better or worse, now they have a new threat and even with all the resources of SEPC at the height of its power, he knew they had to approach this carefully.
So he let Tseng have his angry silence, not looking at him when he heard his fists clench on the steering wheel. Instead, he watches the desert pass by, he didn't remember the drive being so long when he had done it but circumstances had been different. He frowns to himself but winces when the movement pulls at the wound, apparently, Seifer had put more power into that hit than he had thought. He wondered who would win in a fistfight, Mütton or Seifer.
He would let Tseng break the silence first, slouching in the car seat to try to get comfortable.]
