Reno was pretty sure that driving a train was kind of like driving a helicopter, but couldn't be sure. So once they'd bid Tseng luck with the Kadaj problem, Reno led the way back to where the conductor hid out, and whipped out his EMR quietly. Sliding the door open, he gave a slight grin before raising the rod and hitting the man in the side of the neck. Not life-threatening, but he'd probably have a nice bruise later after waking up from the pressure point assault.

"So Raf," he started, hands moving for the levers and everything on the console. "... you know how to drive a train?" he tilted his head back to look over his shoulder, giving the other man a grin. "I fly choppers, not conduct trains." He turned back around to peek at everything, pushing a lever and seeming amused as the train started moving once again.

Rufus met Reno's eyes, a hint of apology in them for the position in which he'd thrust them all. Sephiroth had been bad enough, but he had called Kadaj on them as well. It was only the most passing show of him being sorry for their situation since he still believed this was for the best. Sephiroth had stuck him as confused and harmless (at least for the time being) but Kadaj had been going with all jets firing and ready for slaughter. It was his job to protect them as they did him. His four Turks hadn't failed him while he was ill, and he had no intentions of failing them.

"Worry about yourself as well, Reno. You... cost far too much for Shin-Ra to replace."

He had been stopping a lunatic smirk that wanted to rise at Reno's joke on Kadaj's slowness when the door smashed open and the remnant entered. The urge to snicker didn't go away to Rufus' alarm. Stress had to be finally getting to him. Getting himself under control, his eyes drew away from Reno to lock on Kadaj. Laughing right now would be suicidal to them all, but hilarity was better than fear or freezing like a deer in headlights.

"No, not long, Kadaj. The screaming was getting a bit monotonous and we were thinking of taking things out until you arrived. How have you been?" Rufus asked conversationally, as if they were nothing more than a pair of businessmen getting together for an informal meeting. His instinct was to move as he spoke to set the listener ill at ease with needing to track his movements. Stilling that desire, Rufus made no attempt to move from behind the two Turks, Reno's plan solid for the time being if he would have rather met with Kadaj away from them. He'd already seen the remnant drop Reno and Reno without much effort. Now was not the time to give his Turks the slightest notice. A Kadaj offended or feeling ignored was a dangerous creature.

"I do apologize for being unable to offer you a drink or the like, but I am in transit so to speak."

Fingers worked at the buttons of his sleeves, drawing them up to his forearms. The ones at his throat were worked quickly enough to draw away the sides of his high collar, revealing pale skin without the least stain of Geostigma marring it. It was disquieting to see Kadaj while standing, having only had what felt like a few moments to do so before.

"As you can see, Kadaj, it is gone."
