From this point forward, at not time to anyone in writing or speaking are you to mention that Sephiroth killed my father. I do not want that to be public knowledge to anyone beyond our group. Consider this an official order. Am I understood?

Explain, Turk.

You won't like it.

I imagine I will not.

Then I won't say it, sir, if you would prefer.

Tseng, I have found myself in a strange place, been wounded, stained my favourite coat with blood, have a headache, and...

I'd suggest telling me right about now.

Pardon me? Blood? Wounded? Were you intending on informing me of this? I'm afraid this is the exact problem, sir.

You're not being as careful with your identity and your position as you ought to be. You have enemies here.

Also, it is the current assignment of the Turks as a whole, myself being personally responsible as the most senior member, to ensure your safety. If I am personally responsible, I would prefer it if you allowed me to do my job by not continually attempting to organise putting yourself in harm's way.

I was in the path of a door that was kicked open unexpectedly.

I saw no other enemies than Kadaj.

I wasn't aware that I was putting myself in harm's way. How so?

By whom?

That's the point. You are insisting on continuing to converse and associate with him, whether you decide to meet with him or not, and through this putting yourself in danger. You must recall that if he comes to harm you, we will not be able to incapacitate him. You must take the required precautions, and you aren't doing this at the present time.

I must advise you to do so, or I will not be able to continue to follow your orders in their entirety.

Lorelei, the one assigned to protect me at present along with Sabra.

It was my belief that if he were focused on me, then he would not be going about attempting to pick off those Turks who are alone or in pairs. He might consider that easy to do and set off immediately. If he were forced to come to me, then it would buy us time while he figured out how. I take it that you find my logic faulty?

I see.

We are assigned to protect you. You are not here to protect us. We are trained professionals, and you are not.

I agree with you in that yes, you are, but last times Kadaj tore through you, Elena, Reno, and Rude to get to me. Did he not? Do you think that Lorelei who wants to shoot Kadaj in the face would be able to stand against him?

What would you have me do, Tseng? Watch him toss more bloodied ID cards before me?

I would have you realise that I am not attempting to be insubordinate and am instead trying my best to guide you in this matter.

I would also have you perform your role, which is the President of Shin-Ra. You are not a Turk, and have no need to meet with people such as Kadaj. We, meanwhile, are the workforce, and we are trained for defeat as well as victory.

Trust me a little, Rufus, and take a step back. I do remember how to do my job, even if we are in a new place.

As you wish, Tseng. I will step back as best I can in these matters. ~~Except for Sephiroth~~

Thank you. I appreciate your consideration, sir.
