"...so the President would like you to go to Junon to escort Rufus home for his vacation," Tseng's secretary was telling him. He hadn't been paying too close attention, but this statement brought him up short. He had to seriously resist the urge to slump his shoulders and sigh. Instead, he drew himself up, and straightened his tie... and sighed, just a little.
"Alright. I assume I'm to leave as soon as possible?" he asked, his voice tight.
"Yes, sir," came the reply. "The helicopter is ready, and you'll be taking the train back."

His arrival in Junon came quickly, and certainly much quicker than the return trip was going to be. Thankfully, he'd gotten the quiet Turk to fly him. He'd had time to go over some reports on the way, to collect himself. Rufus was always a difficult person to be around.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at the station, he found that Rufus was already there. That was a bad thing. Tseng had no idea how long he'd been waiting, and he really didn't want to ask.
"Rufus, sir, I see you're ready to go?" he said in a calm voice.
