Rufus was well used to Reno's snark by now, knowing the talkative and wry Turk for years. Perhaps it was irritating in the very beginning, but he mostly found himself tolerating it nowadays. Of course, it depended on the situation, but Rufus tended to think that getting flustered or showing irritation was the worst reaction he could show.

"Kadaj and his little gang were defeated-- the rain healed my Geostigma. Well, everyone's, from the reports we've gotten." Sephiroth's plan ruined once again, it was rather satisfactory. Cloud most likely did the finishing blow and that was all fine to him. Rufus didn't mind working with AVALANCHE if it ended up benefiting him in the end anyway.
