[looking_sharp]

You sound like Reno.

[Rude doesn't even take it in an inappropriate way. Just closes his eyes and works the muscles by touch alone.]

Tseng would be good at this too, I think. Single minded with a problem.

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus let out a laugh at that, amused by the comparison.]

He is good at it but your hands are better at working out the knots.

[Rude's hands are larger and stronger, Rufus is practically melted under Rude.]

[looking_sharp]

I work with my hands more. Strength and dexterity.

{They both matter for martial arts. plus he's got hte muscle and the leverage to make use of it.]

Are there other bad spots I've missed?

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus rolled over slightly so he could look at Rude. His body felt limp and his mind slightly hazy.]

No, I think you've gotten everywhere. But we'll do this again soon.

[He rolled over so he was laying on his back under Rude, looking up at him.]

[looking_sharp]

[Of course they will. Rude doesn't mind it. So he nods and moves to get off of Rufus.]

Take a shower, make sure to have a protein rich breakfast. Get yourself some sports drinks too, for hydrating after.

[ambitiousblond]

Send Tseng some recommendations and he'll make the arrangements to have it for me.

[He doesn't handle the logistics of grocery shopping. It was easier to just let Tseng handle all of that instead of having to learn to do the whole grocery store thing.

He reached out to rest a hand on Rude's arm for a moment as he sat up a little.]

Thank you, Rude.

[looking_sharp]

Of course, sir.

[Of course he expects Tseng would already have some ideas.

But then he's pausing, because of the hand on his bare arm. Behind his sunglasses his eyes go to the hand, looking. Considering. And he doesn't pull away.]

You're welcome. I'm here to serve.

[ambitiousblond]

This isn't really in your job description but it's appreciated.

[He moved his hand after a moment as he sat up before moving off of the bed. He didn't think twice about starting to strip off on his way to the bathroom, tossing things off to the floor before looking back at Rude.]

We'll do this tomorrow morning. I'll meet you at six.

[looking_sharp]

Of course sir. And use the hamper.

[He can't help but pick up the clothes that are discarded.]

Eat breakfast before I come to collect you. Something light.

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus paused at the door, looking at Rude. He kept forgetting the hamper was a thing but after a moment he held out his hand for the clothes.]

I can take that, the hamper is in the bathroom.

[looking_sharp]

[He's definitely wearing too little. And it's awkward. Rude keeps his eyes on the middle of Rufus's forehead as he hands the clothes over.

Blessings on the shades, and not even the first time in his life that he's felt that.]

Is there anything else, sir?

[ambitiousblond]

No, I'm just going to take a shower, eat something for breakfast, and then go to the office. I'll be fine from here and I'm sure you have things to do.

[He gave Rude a slight smile before vanishing into the bathroom, turning the water on.]

[looking_sharp]

[That… was weird. But Rude takes a deep sigh, centers himself again, and heads on out, making sure to lock the door when he goes. That was just a very strange experience.]
