Although some would consider Sephiroth an automaton, it is really more that he is both dutiful and doesn't speak much. There is very much an active mind behind the expressionless face and he uses this now as he falls into step beside Rufus without a word. There are several venues he knows of that will suit the purpose and he chooses the closest of them. It happens to be a sushi place, though they serve some other dishes as well. It's slightly more upscale than the surrounding businesses and therefore pricier and serving a more selective crowd, but this is exactly the kind of place Sephiroth imagines Rufus would like.

It turns out they do have issue with Sephiroth's armor at the door, but he resolves this with a look and doesn't need to use any of the cutting remarks he has prepared. They are seated soon thereafter in a private room with tatami mat flooring. Sephiroth is getting used to sitting seiza and assumes the position right away as if this is totally normal.

He sets out the chopsticks and hands Rufus a menu while they wait.
