"You have a sharp mind and good heart, use them." If anyone dared stepped in Rufus' way then he would strike them down.
There was a very short list of he was loyal to and would do anything for.

Tseng listened quietly as Rufus spoke. He took new that they needed to atone. The Turks mainly. Kidnapping people for experiments, covering of massacres, assassinations, you name it he did it.

Which was Muay Thai and Krav Maga. Good offense and defense disciplines for any occasion.
He also wanted to teach her strategy and anticipation but that was much later.
He will make a Turk out of her yet.

He pauses for a split second when she let what was truly on her mind out. He didn't comment on it, it was true so how could he?
"Start with the basics. Reaction times, reflexes, stamina. Your sense are ready sharp so you just need to hone it. Once you build those up we can go to the next step."

back onto the asprin bottle and placed it gently on the desk again.
The Turk tilted his head at Rufus in thought. The Shinra didn't usually lose control so whatever was on the blondes mind must've been serious.
"Is there something bothering you, sir? More than pesky paperwork I mean."

He looked amused at Rufus, not at all bothered by the outburst. He was actually thinking about pulling his boss' chair from the desk, Rufus knew him well.

forbid that situation happening, but it was possible.
"Let me know if you are serious about training and I will set up a schedule for you." He already thought of three different regimens but will hold back on the intensity.
That would eat a lot of her time and she had others to worry about.

He perked up when she wanted to go on a walk, why not right?

Yes he was being a hypocrite, but Rufus was more important than him and the Shinra needed a break.

"With all due respect Mr. President, I doubt the paper is going to grow legs and wander off in the few minutes of rest." He comments lightly as he opens the pill bottle.
He glanced at the sheet briefly so make sure he didn't curse it. Not like he could, but it's been a weird day.

He walks in the office after a light knock.
"Sir.. You look like you need to take a break." Rufus looked like shit but Tseng bet his boss knew that already.
He moved to Rufus' side and placed a bottle of asprin on the desk, followed by a bottle of water.

He took out a box and handed it to Aerith silently. Inside was the green ribbon she had in her hair a long time ago, he kept it pristine.
