If Cloud hung around long enough, he would find that Rufus found amusement quite often, and quite often where he shouldn't; it was a guard against dealing with people on an even level, finely tuned over years of dealing with, and listening to, his father; which, quite ironically, also amused him.
This was something he kept to himself, however, eyes watching as Cloud removed the helmet, and managed not to smirk at what he saw. Aside from the terrible hair, he could see exactly why the rumors he had heard got started; blond hair, blue eyes, just like he and his father, and probably other bastard children the old man hadn't told him of. Even the will, or arrogance, or whatever it was called by people, seemed to fit.
The question was, were these things all coincidence or was there a lot more about his family he had to uncover? Did it matter, or did he care enough to find out, or go beyond the bit of curiosity he'd shown so far? This was something yet to be discovered.
For now, Rufus focused on the situation at hand, and the answer to the question he had given. "SOLDIER, huh? That's a hard position to attain."
