Rufus' first impression was that Kano was very resourceful and, by extension, crafty. He would think outside of the box while coming up with outrageous modes of payment, but he was also clear about his hard stops. The answer about Goat's hand was pretty useless, but that didn't reflect on his competence—the more telling, important factoid was that he had interacted with everyone to provide information like that on all the Leaders.

He had no idea what was going on with Kano during the one trial, but he voted for someone else, because he didn't think Kano was guilty and thought people were wasting time fixating on him. Kano's moody behavior afterward was less impressive, but Rufus did believe everyone, including himself, shared the blame for not finding the true culprit.

Despite his lack of understanding as to why, it was unsurprising when Kano stabbed Jeanne. On the other hand, it was surprising when Shiro delivered the message that led to the stone. This was one of the best payments Rufus received in the Realm and he approached the subject of Kano with that belief, because that stone helped bail his group out of his CYOA (Claire the NPC was unconscious and Rufus enraged her into awakening). He thought Kano had a lot to offer and that was why he wrote to him upon unlocking the messaging function.

He was very attentive when he received the charades. When asked, he could imitate the whole thing! However, he only had one hand and had to constantly borrow somebody. Actual joke letters to others notwithstanding, he always took what Kano had to tell and/or show him seriously. Kano was rather wild and out of control, but Rufus' opinion of him was fairly flattering, considering.
