There was no mistaking that awful hairstyle, even though the soldier looked younger and... chubbier? It was a strange sight, not to mention the fact he seemed less serious from what he remembered of him. Although, didn't Reno tell him that people arrived from different time lines? Perhaps this was one of those scenarios, it would explain all these changes.
Although, Cloud still recognized him despite the fact that he wasn't wearing his usual clothes and that he was much older than how he would appear in Cloud's time. Perhaps he was just that recognizable, but Rufus was still a little suspicious. Maybe he was wrong about Cloud being from an earlier time as well.
Time to know for sure.
"Cloud Strife." No point in hiding the fact that he didn't know him. "Isn't this a pleasant surprise." Rufus definitely sounded charming, but he came off as more amused than anything.
