Rufus Shinra sits down on one of the huge couches of the Mansion

Rufus Shinra says, "love, how badly did you beat Reno the other night?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Pretty badly"

Tifa Lockheart lounges against Rufus

Tifa Lockheart says, "I nailed him too.... "

Rufus Shinra says, "well, since materia has no effect on him... he's probably dead... or dyeing...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "true... looks like I've ruined two perfectly good toys..."

Rufus Shinra says, "because we'd know where they are if they took him to a hospital... two? Cloud's probably ok... Materia works on him..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "I'm considering Cloud as dead...."

Rufus Shinra says, "I doubt it, well, he might be"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm.... well they didn't have materia on them...."

Rufus Shinra kisses her cheek

Tifa Lockheart says, "Unless there was a third party involved...."

Rufus Shinra says, "but who ever saved them might have. Oh, you didn't notice?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Do you have the security log from the basement? I know you tape it all"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm, yeah..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oh I noticed... I want to know who... and why..."

Rufus Shinra says, "let's go take a look"

Tifa Lockheart nods and stands

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah, who would be that stupid as to sneak in here?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "And who would give a damn about that Turk ... or either of those two soldier rats?"

Rufus Shinra heads off to the log room

Rufus Shinra says, "don't know"

Tifa Lockheart follows

Rufus Shinra says, "any way, I guess our pet Turk was bound to break one of these days... no big loss. We can always find another to fill the position"

Tifa Lockheart says, "We need to figure out a new one then... you're gonna be lonely in a while methinks"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm?"

Rufus Shinra grins a little at her

Tifa Lockheart grins back

Rufus Shinra strokes his fingers down her cheek

Rufus Shinra says, "are you trying to tell me something?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yeah... no molesting your heir... that's what Im trying to tell you"

Rufus Shinra says, "ok, I'm not going to be like my dad..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "I had some tests done... they all came back positive... I warned you.... Now let's see who our moron is shall we?"

Rufus Shinra nods, still grinning

Rufus Shinra says, "ok love"

Rufus Shinra punches a few buttons

Tifa Lockheart says, "hmm..."

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm, who is that?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's supposed to be dead..."

Rufus Shinra says, "really?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "And how'd he get the keycode?"

Rufus Shinra says, "so was Sephiroth"

Tifa Lockheart says, " Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack... the Nibelheim trio..."

Rufus Shinra says, "well, how did AVALANCHE get the codes to the Reactor? *Grins* though I never met Zack so I never gave him anything. Must be someone else"

Tifa Lockheart shrugs

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm..... Look at how he's reacting to Reno..."

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... hmmm"

Rufus Shinra thinks

Rufus Shinra says, "wait, Zack?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Have the other Turks questioned.... Zack appears to have been in with Reno...."

Rufus Shinra says, "heh, I remember years ago when I was training Reno he'd cry out that name... sounds good"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Perhaps that's where one of our leaks was..."

Rufus Shinra says, "could be... heh"

Tifa Lockheart says, "anyway... its obvious he let sephiroth and cloud go too..."

Rufus Shinra turns off the tape and turns to Tifa

Rufus Shinra says, "when are you due?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Impatient aren't we?"

Rufus Shinra says, "you know me"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Im only 3 months in...."

Rufus Shinra grins, flicking his hair back

Rufus Shinra says, "ahh"

Rufus Shinra places his hand on her middle

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's been a bitch to keep my figure too... it'll start showing soon enough"

Rufus Shinra says, "well, that's all right"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No more roughhousing though... I must insist"

Rufus Shinra kisses her cheek softly

Rufus Shinra says, "ok, no more of that with you"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You'll have to pick up a new toy"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Unless we can get some of our old ones back...."

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "Let's go back to the couch"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Alright"

Rufus Shinra smiles and leads her back to the couch. Sits down

Rufus Shinra says, "need anything?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You don't have to pamper me..."

Rufus Shinra grins

Tifa Lockheart lounges in Rufus' lap

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah I do"

Rufus Shinra holds her gently

Rufus Shinra says, "It's what husbands are supposed to do, right?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I suppose so"

Rufus Shinra says, "it's true "

Rufus Shinra kisses her cheek

Tifa Lockheart says, "We should go public with this marriage eventually"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah, especially now. Where do you think?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I mean, where is a good setting?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Dunno. We could have it done in Nibelheim... hometown... homey setting... make the people think your stooping down to good old country love..."

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm. Good old Country Love? What's that?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "no clue... Just some crazy ideal"

Rufus Shinra says, "what's it say?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Not really sure..."

Rufus Shinra says, "ah, and what is our love then?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Too bad we don't have sephiroth.... We could execute him for some reason or another... and boost the ratings"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oh... I don't know.... What would you call what we have? A business relationship?"

Rufus Shinra says, "hey, what about the other members of AVALANCHE?"

Rufus Shinra nuzzles her neck

Tifa Lockheart says, "hmm... Barret...."

Rufus Shinra says, "two perfectly matched minds working together? Heh, that would be perfect. He was the leader..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes... two perfectly evil minds that is... I'll admit it... Im evil"

Rufus Shinra kisses the side of her neck

Rufus Shinra says, "and I love that about you"

Tifa Lockheart says, "But Im so cute... everyone wants to trust me.... Heh heh"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah, but I found out the truth. Heh heh"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oh yes you did"

Rufus Shinra says, "If my dad ever found out I was helping a rebel, he would have killed me... but, of course, with us, there was no sides but our own, and that which everyone else is placed"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes, You and me... then them"

Rufus Shinra nuzzles her neck

Rufus Shinra says, "we own the world, it's ours to do with as we please..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes.... Mmm... so... what will we do?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Rule by fear..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Make a public announcement of our *engagement* and set up a date for the wedding? You know... we could use that to lure our toys out of hiding..."

Rufus Shinra says, "put people to death that would boost popularity. Hmmm, that sounds good. So, when would we get married again?"

Rufus Shinra grins

Tifa Lockheart says, "That would probably get Barret out as well... he'd be thinking you kidnapped poor sweet me...."

Rufus Shinra says, "awww"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm... As soon as possible... I miss our toys... "

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, as do I. what do you miss the most about them?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "their sniveling"

Rufus Shinra says, "their crying"

Tifa Lockheart says, "their moaning...."

Rufus Shinra says, "mmmm"

Tifa Lockheart smirks

Rufus Shinra grins

Rufus Shinra says, "their screaming"

Tifa Lockheart says, "oh yes... did you hear Cloud scream?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes. Mm, music, heh heh"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I would have loved to try and get Sephiroth to scream"

Rufus Shinra says, "I love to hear you work. That would be something, I'm sure you could do it. You are a master at that"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes... well we shall have to get all three of them... and punish them soundly"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

Rufus Shinra licks his lips

Rufus Shinra says, "I still want to find out how Sephiroth feels... and Cloud..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm.... why didn't you use one of them?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I wanted Sephiroth to be chained to the wall as you went to work on Cloud..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "You'd probably have to sedate Sephiroth... but im sure you could have handled Cloud..."

Rufus Shinra says, "so he could watch undistracted, yes"

Tifa Lockheart examines her fingernails

Rufus Shinra holds her in his arms

Rufus Shinra says, "how long did you know any way?"

Rufus Shinra strokes her belly gently

Tifa Lockheart says, "quite some time actually"

Rufus Shinra says, "heh, and why didn't you tell me love?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I was waiting for the right time"

Rufus Shinra says, "ah, is it causing you discomfort?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Not yet at least"

Rufus Shinra says, "alright, sure you don't need me to get you anything?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm.... "

Rufus Shinra says, "anything in the world..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "I want my toys back... that's what I want"

Tifa Lockheart pouts

Tifa Lockheart says, "If Reno really is dead...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Then I shall get them back for you. He most likely is... you want Zack?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes... that would be fitting"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm, he could be my new little bitch... he looked good..."

Rufus Shinra grins

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yeah... He was a cute one.... A lot like cloud but more muscular"

Rufus Shinra strokes his fingers through her hair

Tifa Lockheart says, "And his hair is black...."

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah"

Rufus Shinra grins some more

Rufus Shinra says, "probably good to fuck... hard to train I'd bet"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Probably, But no one is un-trainable"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes, just hard"

Rufus Shinra strokes her hair

Tifa Lockheart begins to doze off

Rufus Shinra says, "tired my love?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "kinda"

Rufus Shinra says, "want me to bring you to the bed?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yes please"

Tifa Lockheart grins

Rufus Shinra picks her up in his arms and carries her to their bedroom. Lays her down in the bed and climbs in next to her. Kisses her cheek softly

Tifa Lockheart puts her arms around Rufus

Rufus Shinra puts his arms around her

Tifa Lockheart says, "the world at my feet... and you to hold me.... What more do I want?"

Rufus Shinra says, "the world belongs to us but we belong to each other. To hear Cloud scream?"

Rufus Shinra grins

Tifa Lockheart says, "well yah... And sephiroth... and Zack... a whole chorus"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm, sounds wonderful and you are so gifted at that. Hey, after we catch Barret, want to be the one to execute him?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm... Don't want to scare the public too much"

Rufus Shinra says, "good point"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Fear is good... but panic is another thing"

Rufus Shinra says, "if you put to much fear into the people they rebel"

Tifa Lockheart says, "yep"

Rufus Shinra says, "heh, we always think along the same lines, that's why I love you"

Tifa Lockheart says, "of course"

Rufus Shinra kisses her lips and snuggles against her

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm..."

Rufus Shinra strokes his fingers through her hair

Tifa Lockheart says, "That's so relaxing"

Rufus Shinra says, "It's why I do it"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Who would have thought you as a cuddlier...."

Rufus Shinra says, "heh, why, don't I look cuddly?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Not very"

Rufus Shinra says, "why's that?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You always look so mean.... And morose"

Rufus Shinra says, "well, that's me"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well shut up and sleep... I need my rest"

Rufus Shinra chuckles

Rufus Shinra says, "yep"

Tifa Lockheart grins and buries her head into his chest

Rufus Shinra closes his eyes

Tifa Lockheart says, "goodnight"

Rufus Shinra says, "night"

Rufus Shinra kisses her and drifts to sleep
