"Precisely, Reno. Because there are possibly consequences to taking such an action, Fair. Or were you not the champion for the innocent and weak?" Rufus barely managed to keep his voice devoid of all sarcastic amusement, keeping in mind that the SOLDIER was Strife's closest friend.
"I assure you, Sephiroth. ShinRa's politics and policies no longer coincides with this Organization Thirteen." And as far as Rufus was concerned, this was the full truth, even if he hadn't really expected this Sephiroth to know that. He had yet to make a full one hundred eighty degree, especially in the eyes of the Strife in his timeline, but that didn't mean that he hadn't changed.
Even if what Sephiroth is telling him was very interesting, tactics he would have employed himself at one point to instill fear and confusion, Rufus decided to focus on the offer itself.
A small smile tilted the corner of Rufus' lips up, though not fooled that the offer, in essence, couldn't be withdrawn at any time. These people were loyal to Sephiroth, after all, and not to him. "That is generous, indeed, General Sephiroth. I believe we may pool our resources together, if not as an offensive measure, then at least in a defensive capability for those who need it. I accept and offer my own efforts."
