Not even one hour of this city and he was already being scolded by another person. What a way to start his day. Rufus cared very little about being nice or making sure that he didn't hurt the moogle's feelings. However, he didn't exactly want to make enemies of people right off the bat. Rufus figured that some people could be that sensitive about treating moogles right.

"I apologize, that was rather rude of me." He sounded completely sincere, even if he didn't mean any of it. Rufus was used to doing that, he was raised to. "It's been a trying day-- although I do realize that's only an excuse for admittedly appalling behavior."
