[Oh, they think they’re so clever. Rufus won’t give them the satisfaction of a real reaction; in fact, he gives them a smile, coupled with a hum of consideration. All of it drips with patronization, but he listens at the jobs laid out for them.
Sector 4 and 5, delegated to cleaning up the monsters that had snuck into where people didn’t want them. Basically, playing the part of exterminator for those willing to take up the job and deal with either the danger… or the tedium.
One sounds like it pays more, which is all the matters, and so—]
Sector 4, then. We can handle ourselves.
[Has Rufus ever fought a drake before? Well, no, that’s more of a SOLDIER or Shinra infantry specialization. But he’s not without his own training — his father made sure of it, and as the years passed, he learned to enjoy it to an extent — and he’s gone through enough VR sessions in tandem with the “real thing” to feel confident enough in this task.
He looks to Bobby again, wry.]
So this is what you do? Sit and wait for a meal, then drop some info for anyone who comes asking? [Sounds like a cheap version of Alec, and he glances sidelong at him.] Sounds like you were overpaid.
