ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 11/06/2026A deep breath and a pinch of finger and thumb at the bridge of his nose; it’s been a long, long week and every inch of him feels as though crafted of clockwork long neglected. Clunky and stiff. An aching rust. He needs coffee, and a long rest. 010
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Gloved fingers plucked the letter from the top of his desk, brushed against the rough grain of the paper as if searching for something.

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Brows rose slightly at the remark, and he turned his gaze on her properly. Eyes roved over the slight colour against pale skin, but soon came to rest on brilliant lifestream-green. “Perhaps so,” he replied, voice soft and even, and slipped fingers into his jacket again to withdraw a small flask 100

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 22/03/2026ᴄᴀɪɴ. Someone tell me how I’ve pulled something in my shoulder… creating excel spreadsheets. 200
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 22/03/2026When the server returned he held an envelope out to Rufus. The Shinra President took it and deftly slipped it inside his jacket, before taking the coffee and setting it down in front of Aerith. Blue eyes met the Cetra’s brilliant green, and he offered her a coy smirk. “Nothing of importance.” 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 22/03/2026If she’d asked, Rufus wouldn’t have an answer for her. A normal life wasn’t something he’d ever experienced, after all, and that wasn’t likely to change. After a time he gave a small nod to a man serving, pushed a note across the table and ordered a coffee. Not for himself, but for Aerith. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Despite the rather rude gesture, Rufus seemed unbothered. A chuckle and he shook his head, slipping a hand into his jacket for his personal hip flask. Gloved fingers unscrewed the cap slowly, blue eyes watching the pilot with a gentle amusement. “Hmm. Here I was going to offer to share, and + 100
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Had she been anyone else, Rufus would have found himself irritated by the intrusion. But Aerith’s company had become strangely comfortable and she joined him quietly instead of shattering his peaceful little bubble. A small curl of lips and a shallow nod approved her presence. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 21/03/2026If he thought a level of exhaustion beyond his usual impossible, he’s been proven mistaken. Out of his office, for once, he sits outside a cafe. Not drinking or eating, simply sitting and fighting sleep while he people watches. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 21/03/2026“Feisty, I like that. Leave a message with my secretary and I’ll be sure to neglect to schedule in a moment to feel intimidated.” 010
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 19/03/2026ᴄᴀɪɴ. It’s been a while since my Chronic Migraine Club membership has been validated this irrefutably. Some will tell me it’s the overworking, and they’re probably right. Regardless, sorry for my absence right now. 040
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 12/03/2026ᴄᴀɪɴ. Don’t look at how long it took me to get to that reply. 020
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Still heavy with sleep, it was little surprise that it took Rufus a moment to comprehend her words. Or perhaps the confusion simply came from being presented with a show of concern, care. A genuine one that is. Of course Tseng cared, but he’d known the man in many various capacities. This felt + 100

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 08/03/2026He knocks back a double whiskey over ice, leans back and closes his eyes. Then sighs a long suffering sigh. It’s been a long day. The glass is soon refilled. 010

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Entirely unawares he was being watched, studied so intently, Rufus continued to slumber through Aerith’s observations of him. Face relaxed as it was, Rufus almost looked normal. A perfectly well adjusted, perhaps even kind, man without a care in the world. If only reality mirrored that + 100
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 04/03/2026For once, Rufus was asleep. Dead asleep. It spoke volumes that the Shinra President, usually so alert, didn’t so much as stir. Not that he’d made it to his bed. Instead he’d fallen asleep on the couch in his room, thankfully mostly dressed and yet decidedly more casual than most anyone ever + 100
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Tseng makes up about 90% of my impulse control, and he isn’t here right now. I’m bulk buying Skittles. 020

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 28/02/2026One long sip of coffee. A small wince, and a rub at a temple. He didn’t sleep very well, as usual, no matter how much he tries to hide that from others. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 26/02/2026For once he’s not at his desk. Instead he’s on the couch in his office in just his shirt and trousers, asleep. One hand clutches a book. 000

ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026“That’s putting it mildly,” he replied, dry as sand. A pinch of finger and thumb at the bridge of his nose and he gave a short nod, and a crooked little smile. “I’ll come with you, as to if I drink anything? Well. That might be a foolish idea. Still, where to then, hmm?” 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026“Hmmn.” Taking a few steps back Rufus looked Tseng over slowly, contemplating. Sure, the man could simply remove his jacket and instantly look a little less conspicuous but that would mean one less place to hide a gun. “I’m sure it’ll be fine,” he finally replied with a shake of his head. 100
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026She does make quite a valid point. Though he doesn’t need dragged, he leaves his office. Sometimes. He’s just busy. He’d make time for her, however. Why? He’s not questioning that, it doesn’t need questioned. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026She really should join him for a drink sometime, although drinking in his office from his own selection isn’t particularly thrilling and dragging someone along to taste everything somewhat spoils the mood. A pity. 000
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Oh, he didn’t think she had it in her. …tens across the board. Flawless form. 021
ℜᴜꜰᴜꜱ 𝔖ʜɪɴʀᴀ @theivoryparagon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Eyes closed and he huffed a sigh, jutting a hip and folding his arms. “Of course I can, it isn’t my first time doing something like this Tseng.” He strode over to take the man’s tie in hand, tightening it. “Besides, having you with me is going to some draw attention anyway.” 000
