[It's...possibly a little bit overly optimistic to hope that Rufus wouldn't know precisely who it is he's standing in this elevator with on sight — particularly when his most recent glimpse of her had been related to Cloud trying quite vehemently to keep her away from him, and obviously Cloud himself had left quite the impression — but whether or not it's to his benefit to do anything about it is much more of an open question. There's benefit in waiting this out and seeing how it plays; if she's got friends here, possibly he can follow her to them and take stock of who is and isn't accounted for. If she makes the first move, then she makes the first move.

He's not altogether expecting the elevator to grind to a halt, though, or for her to be quite so affronted at his suggestion that they just get this resolved quickly.]

Why not? You want to get out of here, don't you?

[He regards her impassively, and drops a little bait.]

I'd think it'd be a relatively minor concession in exchange for getting away from me as fast as you can.
