[Sephiroth would rather not live and breathe paperwork, yes, but his superiors do so love to torment him with mundane tasks. Being a high-ranking officer seems more trouble than it's worth most days.
Rufus gives his answer readily, and Sephiroth can't help but smile. It's such a small thing-- that even inebriated and likely concussed, Rufus trusts him deeply enough to not even consider it. However, Sephiroth isn't allowed much time to appreciate the gesture. As soon as the elevator dings and Rufus gives the go ahead, Sephiroth is whisking him through the window and out into the open air. He practically glides the whole way down, finding footholds here and there to break up the distance. He'll make sure he texts Tseng when they're safely home; he's already going to hear an earful about this and he's not keen on making it worse.
Oh, the things he does for this man...
Deftly, he makes his way through Sector 0 until he reaches his apartment complex. It's in a private area of the sector reserved mostly for higher-ups at Shinra. It's blessedly shielded from the general populace-- a boon for both Sephiroth's privacy overall and for stowing away with the vice-president without being seen tonight. Before long, they're inside and Sephiroth is delicately depositing Rufus on his couch.]
Stay put, [he'll say-- and already, he is busying himself with gathering a pillow, a blanket, and some medicine.]
[As much as he wants to keep his eyes open Rufus has to close them on the way down. But there is no fear, he knows Sephiroth wouldn't drop him.
It does surprise him how they are able to get through Sector 0 without being spotted but fate was in their favor. He doesn't even hear the sound of anyone else but then again, he doubted that anyone would dare to stop Sephiroth.
He opens his eyes as soon as they are in the apartment and Sephiroth is laying him on the couch. He looks around as Sephiroth is moving around, taking in what he can see. Everything is so clean, so neat. He wonders how often Sephiroth even stays here though.
But the couch is unexpectedly comfortable and soft, he doesn't want to move even if he could without the world spinning around.]
I'm not going anywhere, don't worry. Your couch is very nice. Very comfortable. I see why you have it.
