"Nothing that we didn't want interrupted," he replied, then cringed ever so slightly. He had meant to simply play it off as nothing, but had temporarily forgotten that he didn't really have control over what he was saying. "But you already knew something was up, so it's okay." And he hadn't intended to say that aloud. He paused, trying to grab hold of his thoughts before he spoke again, and finally said, "I don't want to talk about it." He nodded vaguely in Rufus' direction. "And I don't think he does either." With that, he shifted his thoughts back to what Tseng had said about home and the WRO. It seemed at least a slightly safer topic, if not necessarily by much.
"Rude and Elena are WRO, too, then, I guess." He muttered, and then promptly shut up before he could say anything more.
On some level, he almost felt betrayed. Here he'd been keeping up the charade that Rufus was still his boss in some kind of official capacity, and now he was being told that the company that only existed in habit and imagination here didn't even exist for real at home anymore.
He really wasn't sure what to make of that, but "happy" was not the word.
