One brow arched as he opened the door to his office to find a trail of blodd trying on the white tile. Looking across the room he saw Reno laying across the one black couch in the room far worse for wear. "I take it they bit back?" Closing the door he strode across the room slowly.
"s**t ... ******** that hurts" Reno snapped at Rude who was looking at one of his arms. "Oh no boss, i fell just decided to let them beat the s**t out of me on my own." The Turk was known for not leashing his tongue around their boss but Rufus knew when his Turks were hurt.
"Tseng." He waited for the other Turk to turn his attention to him before continuing. "Go find the healer. I want to see if he's ... useful."

Kaleb sat curled up on his old couch, surrounded by tall stacks of books as he finished his readings for the night. A small bowl of apple slices floated nearby, easily within reach, along with a half-finished glass of chocolate milk. He had no reason to expect visitors at this time of night, so he hadn't bothered to dry his hair from his earlier shower, or put on a pair of socks.

It had been rather easy to find the mage's appartment. Rufus' infomation network was far wider than most people knew and it had been easy to track down people who'd seen Kaleb and knew where he lived. He didnt question Rufus as to why he had wanted the mage stalked but it seemed that the Boss' forsight was well founded.
Finding the appartment door he knocked twice, rather hard, and waited for the door to be opened.

Kaleb jumped at the sudden noise, nearly knocking over his airborne milk. With a frown he put his book aside and set down the floating items. He quickly made his way to the door, and opened it with a curious expression. "Hello?"

He looked down at Kaleb as the door was open. "Rufus requests your presence." He reached out and grabed the other by the shoulder and tugged him out into the hallway. "Sadly you're not allowd to disagree"

Kaleb's eyes widened as he was pulled out of his room, and he made an ineffective attempt to resist the tugging. "W-what? I-I need my shoes, a-and I should lock up..." Unfortunatly his panic reaction wasn't helping the situation much, as he should probably have been more concerned for his safety.

He paused. "You have three minuets to get your shoes and lock the appartment. If you're not ready by then i am draging you." Reno probably deserved whatever had happened but that didnt mean he needed to be permenatly hurt. He wouldnt be useful if hurt

Kaleb still looked rather startled as he nodded, and quickly went back inside to pull on his shoes. Socks weren't necessary really, so he didn't spare any time going looking for a pair. He grabbed his jacket and stepped back outside, locking the door with the keys in the coat pocket. Then he promptly turned to glance at Tseng, almost afraid he had gone over the time limit and would be dragged around.

He set one hand on Kaleb's shoulder and directed him infront of him. He could easily walk Kaleb to the building and get him in. Hopefully before Reno bled enough on the furniture for Rufus to really start to b***h

Kaleb only started to get really nervous as they started walking, and he glanced over his shoulder several times. Being made to walk in front of Tseng made the march feel like a walk to his own execution or something equally unpleasant, and the thought made his stomach churn uneasily. He only realized he had started shaking when he fidgeted with the keys still in his hands.

He could sence Kaleb's nervousenss but ignored it. Talking to him would solve nothing.
Thankfully it didnt take long to get to the building and since Kaleb was with Tseng it was easy to get past the guards and secutity checks. Letting go of Kaleb's shoulder once they were at the office he opened the door and nudged Kaleb in.
"Ahh ... just in time." Rufus looked up from where he was holding Reno down on the couch buy his forehead while Rude stitched up a cut on his side.

The first thing Kaleb noticed was the blood, but the dizziness that accompanied the observation wasn't too bad. At least now he knew why he had been rushed out of his apartment. He took a single hesitant and shaky step towards Reno, but then stopped and looked over at Rufus with a nervous expression as though awaiting permission to begin.

Rufus looked at him as he kept his hand on Reno's head. It was so much easier to hold someone down this way and with Rude sitting on the other's legs he wasnt going anywhere.
"Are you going to stand there are you going to fix him?" He raised a brow as he watched Kaleb move over slowly
"Ouch .. ******** .. Rude .. that's my kidney" He was stretching things but damn it if it didnt feel like Rude had just poked his kidney with the needle.

Kaleb jumped a bit, and hurried over. "S-sorry..." he stuttered as he blushed a bit, before regaining some composure. "Th-the stitching isn't necessary," he said as he knelt next to the couch, and rested one barely shaking hand on Reno's arm. His first action was an anaesthetising spell that would numb the injured areas, and then he began to heal each area in turn. He gently withdrew the stitches where required, there wouldn't be any need for additional healing once he was done.

He continued to gripe even though it didnt hurt. "God damn it. I swear to every ******** single god that exists i am taking the god damn e-mag even if you tell me to leave it here." He glared at Rufus from under his bosses hand.
He moved aside as Kaleb finally walked over and watched as the other worked. So he had been right, Kaleb was useful after all.
