She cleared her throat. "You're comfortable though?" She was supposed to act like the Lady of Wutai after all and Rude was her guest. "Room to your standards?"

"Everything's good." He moved to take a seat beside her, trying to think of any kind of advice he might be able to give her, and coming up blank. When it came down to it, he was no good at the political stuff. Then again, that's why he wasn't the one in charge. He wondered what Rufus or Tseng would have come up with.

She didn't want to talk to Rufus, to Reeve, to Tseng, to anyone about this mess anymore. She was so tired and too young to feel worn dry. "It will be." She responded to him, even though he was answering her about the accommodations.
She flopped onto her back and looked over at him. From this angle he had rather elegant facial features. "Sorry to drag you away from home."

At the apology, he gave her a mildly quizzical look, followed by a shrug.
"No problem." Orders were orders, and he didn't mind hanging around here for a while. Yuffie was pleasant enough to be around, and he certainly didn't have any complaints about the accommodations. It would be nice if Reno was there, too, but it wasn't like they'd never see each other again.

Rude was much more expressive than she previously thought. He was much easier to read than Vincent. "You got people in that mess at home that aren't trained assassins?"

The question prompted a tiny hint of a smile.
"A few," he replied. It was almost funny to think about. Of course, not everyone involved with ShinRa was a trained assassin, but they certainly seemed to attract people who wouldn't have any compunctions about shooting you if they saw fit.

She needed to get out and get her mind off of that argument. "Hey, you dance at all?"

"I... can..." he muttered. Where had that come from all of a sudden, he wondered. Then again, after being around Reno so long, he probably shouldn't have been so surprised by random abrupt subject changes.

"Well then, let's go, Rudey. I think we both need to get our minds off things."
