[ they are exceptionally clinical reports, primarily because imagining rufus submitting to anyone makes tseng feel insane, but imagining him submitting to tseng makes him even insaner. ]
On the contrary. I think you have potential to be exceptional at both, or either, depending on your preference.
[ there are just a few hangups to get over... like, for example, the one rufus just immortalized in text. ]
Think of it this way. Do you remember the raid on the warehouse that ended up being a front for the diamond dust ring? When Verdot had me take point on the team coming in upstairs, which happened to be where the explosives were held.
[ tseng was maybe 22, then; rufus would have been 21. he likely wouldn't have paid much attention to the event when it happened, but tseng knows he's read all the turk files by now. the warehouse blew up. tseng broke one of his legs and a couple of ribs, and had second-degree burns all across his chest and arms. he was lucky; it only took the healers two days of work, to get him walking again. ]
I could have walked on that leg, even though it was broken in two places. Should I have, just to make a point?
