[ Clasping his hands behind his back, he takes a step closer to Aerith, still maintaining a distance as he knows they're not friends. They never were friends. Sure, he knows her well, has known her for most of her life, but keeping watch over somebody because it's part of your job description doesn't equal friendship.

[ Because she's living on borrowed time, it seems, though Rufus gave no indication on what happened or when it happened. ]
