[hes given so many people the benefit of the doubt, seen how sometimes things arent an easy and yet Rufus just blatantly says hes not a good person. It gets Squall frowning and crossing his arms over his chest.]

So you needed good PR backing you instead of telling the truth. Would anyone have even know about Aerith if you let her go?

[He sighs and puts his head in his hands]

Rufus I'm trying to see if you aren't what you say. One of the people I love tortured me once and not cause he wanted to. Do you regret it? Honestly, even a little?

[It was the principle of the thing, but that doesn't matter.

He thinks for a moment, taking a drink of the coffee.]

I don't know if I can answer that, except to say that it was my company and my family who are responsible for the state the world's in now and I have to take responsibility for that.

[He doesn't have regrets. He's Rufus Shinra.]

[Thats a little disappointing. Hes not expecting Rufus to atone for everything as it wasnt all his fault but even a fraction of regret or sorrow over what he did might have showed an ounce of humility.]

I see.

[He's standing now, cup in hand.]

I know everything isn't your fault specifically...but you might want to learn how to apologize to others if you want to last here. I won't protect someone without remorse for their actions.

[He heads to the door but stops.]

If you still need help I'm across the hall but know I'm only helping because it's what I do and I don't like to see people struggle. Maybe something you should try yourself sometime. Though I think having to live without comforts might be a good thing for you.

You wouldn't be the first person to say that, or think that.

[He stands, finishing his coffee and handing the cup back to Squall.]

Honestly, after hearing you were dating Cloud I didn't expect even this much. I appreciate that you wanted to hear my side. I'm just sorry it wasn't want you wanted to hear.

[Not surprised, though.]

If you want to try and socialize Lucky with D, you're more than welcome to.

Keep the cup. You don't have much here yet. You can give it back after you're the top of the stamp leaderboard.

[He doesnt like leaving things like this, he doesnt like having a sort of in the air animosity with anyone.]

Look Rufus, I know you hardly know me so I don't expect you to open up to me, this is more than I expected too. But as Cloud's boyfriend and a friend of Aerith's I do think you should make ammends to them at least. The rest isn't your fault so I won't hold you to it but...if you want to enjoy your time here and have even one ally at your back...I recommend it.

[He grabs the door and opens it.]

There are monsters in this world, it would be smart to find a strong ally you can trust.

[He blows a bit of flames out of his lips, something Genesis totally taught him how to do before closing the door behind him.]
