[Only by the grace of their long friendship is Sephiroth willing to humor this nonsense. If it were anyone else, he would have stopped bothering a long time ago. Even Genesis manages not to be this reckless. Tseng's looks of disapproval aren't the only thing Rufus is going to have to weather when his condition is improved; he'll be getting a hefty lecture from Sephiroth that would make even Angeal proud.
Sephiroth takes a moment to compose himself with a deep steady breath - in... then out... - before he tucks his phone away and... speeds up the building exactly like he said he wasn't going to.
But he makes it to Rufus's office in record time to find him... uselessly sprawled out on the floor. He has to wonder if he tried to sit in his chair and simply gave up. Withholding one of many sighs, Sephiroth announces his presence in case Rufus is lucid enough to be alarmed before crouching down to gingerly scoop him up.]
I would prefer to take you to a medic, but I assume you'll say that's out of the question.
[He already knows the answer-- it's more of a gauge for Rufus's coherency. If he doesn't say anything at all, it's straight to a medic. Otherwise, Sephiroth thinks he can probably make due with a few well-placed Curagas.]
