I WANT RUFUS' VAGUE THOUGHTS

What can I even say here. Gosh. I should've tagged you more, Cal. So much missed potential.

I say that, but I think what they had was just right for them.

Rufus didn't necessarily suspect Ange of much so much as he didn't believe she was as meek as she initially appeared. Her PHS data included a quotation about running away and some unusual skills like picking locks. She had to have some kind of fire in her, even if she just stood there and took Yona's mallet to her face. In spite of his wariness, he reacted purely to what she gave him, which was why he declined to share the details of his role with her later.

He caught a glimpse of her dinosaur adventures. His suspicion continued to grow until she started asking very particular questions about his agreements in the Realm. Then she left the manor all on her own and he knew at that point that she was calculating. He chose not to say anything, because he didn't see the point in wasting time on this if she wasn't interested in working with him.

And because she wasn't making a move, he locked her out of his role when Lup sat them down. He doubted she would turn against them, but if she wanted to appear unassuming still, he wasn't going to chase her down to hand out free information.

She finally unveiled a week later and he accepted her proposal right away. He also had an emotional investment in the matter regarding Dorothy, so Ange gave him a convenient excuse to work harder. They saved a lot of time from here on out, though he didn't consider their few encounters in the past a waste when they had clearly been sizing each other up. It all worked out in the end—literally. Pity that it didn't happen soon.
