Rufus made a steeple with his fingers and studied the architecture for a good minute as he considered my suggestion. "I don't think you realize opportunity we've been presented with."
"I don't think you realize that you're a tool. And I mean that in more than one way. Yeah, you're a total douche, but I'm also insinuating that you're being used be a higher power. See what I did there? That was a double entendre."
That got his attention. He cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes at Reno, who'd been bored into a coma and was ignoring our whole conversation. "Yuffie," he said, voice still mild and smile still sharp, "we're talking about convergence on a global scale. A ShinRa-Wutai partnership will revolutionize -"
I jammed my fingers in my ears. "I'm done with this conversation. I was done with it the first time you said 'synergy.' Reno, can you unplug him or something?"
When Rufus shut his mouth, I tentatively lowered my hands. He wasn't smiling anymore, but he didn't look particularly angry either. Those long fingers were folded loosely over his papers, shoulders in a relaxed slope, and his blue eyes thoughtful. "Very well. Then let's bring this meeting to an end."
"Gawd. Yes. Finally."
He slid a folder across the span of his massive desk to me. "The information's inside. I trust you can read well enough to follow the instructions."
I let that weak insult go. "Ok, gimpy. No partner this time, right? I told you I work better alone."
"Two people are required for this job."
"The only two things required for any job are my right fist and my left fist."
"Vincent Valentine."
"Oh."
"Yes."
"You don't say."
"I do indeed."
"Well now," I said as I tucked the folder into my bag. "Maybe that's not such a bad idea. Good job, Roofy! You came up with a decent plan for once!"
Rufus' smile came back, a flash of white between his pink lips. "I expect you to repay me for this favor."
"Yeah, sure, gimpy. I'll get to work on your rocket powered wheelchair tonight."
