Anybody else would have gotten the annoyed cat reaction out of Reno for testing his patience and making him wait for a reply. Rufus, however, got the relaxed, all-the-time-in-the-world treatment as Reno scanned the horizon with his eyes. He did exude listless boredom though even as he waited patiently for the boss to finally acknowledge him. He tapped a random rhythm on his thigh with one hand.
He might have been about to either fall asleep or get up without prompt and walk away when Rufus finally responded. Reno's eyes opened slightly wider as if awakening from a nap, and if he had car eats surely they would have swiveled towards the President to catch every word.
"History?" he made a slightly disgusted face. Feigned, mostly, as if that was beneath him or way out of his league. Reno knew the relevant history as far as he was concerned and could research anything he didn't already know. He wondered though if the boss was reading it for pleasure or business. Despite his lack of interest, he could se where it might be relevant considering current events.
He shifted slightly and rolled his head on his shoulder to look at Rufus lackadaisically. He gave Rufus a doe-eyed look as he said, "You know we're not attached at the hip or something." A line he repeated often--probably because no one ever considered it true. "...I needed a break."

Translation: Rude needed a break from Reno.
