Rufus chuckled, sensing some kind of amusement on the other girl's face. "Oh, I gotcha," she said with a playful smile. It was kind of silly of her to get flustered like she had. And she understood where the other was coming from, she teased her guy friends about that kind of stuff all the time, but wasn't used to it when it was switched the other way around. Rufus was usually the girl in Kusu's position.
Rufus couldn't help but laugh at the man's reaction to the other girl speaking for him. It was amusing to see the way they reacted with each other. He seemed so quite and antisocial, while she was bubbly and social, or at least that's how Rufus viewed it. "It's alright," she said with a smile. "I'm Rufus, by the way," she added, more to the girl than to the man. The girl seemed like she'd accept conversation better. She cast a quick glance his way. Talking to Ellie, or whatever his name was, was almost like talking to a rock, it seemed.
