Summary: First introduction to one Rufus Shinra.
The meeting was boring. Boring boring boring. Then, after the so boring meeting, he had another meeting. Yay.
Looking at the door, he hummed, trying to decide if this meeting would be better or worse. He voted for better, because it wasn't as though the vice president had had enough time to get moldy and long winded yet, what with being younger than he was, but there was really no telling. So, while he waited, he flirted with the pretty gal playing secretary, noting the sharp intelligence in her eyes.
She had quite a bit to say about her immediate boss, coming off as catty trying to be sweet instead of put upon like he was sure she was going for. It was kind of too bad really. If even half of what she was going on about was accurate, talking about it would lose her her job pretty quick, and that was just a shame. Waving bye to her as he was buzzed in, he finally padded into the office, taking in his surroundings in a long sweeping glance of the space.
There was class here, good taste, nothing near so bright and flashy as what the president kept trying to go for. Of course, the plants in the room might have had to do with it, since he rarely ever saw greenery when he wasn't down visiting with Aeris. Still, the teen he'd been directed to come see seemed to fit right in, looking older than his sixteen years and definitely too stern for his own good.
Hopefully the kid grew out of that. Flashing him a grin, he waved his hand loosely and padded up to the desk, dropping the folder in his other hand on it without preamble. "Hey there. You're Rufus Shinra right? Zack Fair."
Offering his hand got him stared at, the look far from friendly, clearly conveying the teen's disgust at the idea of touching him. "Yes, I am. What exactly are you here for?"
He didn't leave his hand hanging in the air long enough to let it get awkward and he met the disbelieving gray eyes easily as he pulled up a chair and settled in, smiling. "Well, I'm supposed to be in a meeting with you. Seems we've had a nice rash of monsters all over the continent, and we're getting a few requests from over seas. Now, this normally wouldn't be a problem, but apparently us SOLDIERs are getting involved now, so I get to play go to boy to get all this straightened out. Guess who I get to talk to to do that?"
"Considering you're here, I'm sure I haven't the slightest idea." The words were droll, the look he received even more so as the blond pulled the folder across the desk and set it to the side. "You can go, I'll contact you once I've had time to review these."
"No, no you missed the whole point here. The meeting thing is that whole discussion angle. Usually involves me being here, wasting your time telling you about something you can read for yourself, see?" Nodding slightly, he planted his elbows on the chair arms and folded his hands together as he leaned forward in the chair a bit.
He wasn't disappointed, though he thought he caught a tick near the teen's eye. Poor kid. If he were wound any tighter he'd likely explode all over the place. "Seeing as I can read this for myself, you're quite excused, thank you. As I said, I'll contact you." Then the teen actually made a shooing motion, however subtle.
A shooing motion! Okay, the kid really needed to work on his person to peon skills. Not that he was a peon, but the little president in training was sure trying to get across that he was one. "And seeing as this does affect people under my command… I'd rather do it now, thanks. I'm sure you understand, right?"
And there was that look again. He had nothing on Seph though, so the kid would just have to deal with him being right where he was. "I think you fail to understand what I'm saying Commander… Fair." The way he said his name was more disgusted than he really thought was fair. It was a good name. "I have other things to attend to, and while I may be in your schedule, you're quite unexpected in mine."
There was a lull, and the man turned to his papers, clearly expecting his dismissal to stick this time. When he looked up and frowned a few minutes later, all Zack did was grin. As the silence drew out, and the intensely annoyed look grew ever more irked, he finally spoke up. "Oh! I'm sorry, did I miss your subtle clue that I'm supposed to be kissing your ass now? I'll get right on that. Just as soon as you look over that report, alright?"
This time, there was no doubt in his mind that the blond had twitched. Ah well, the kid would get over it.
At least he wasn't bored anymore.
