The moment he mentioned meeting his pet, her eyes lit brightly. Tifa was one who had a soft spot for animals, regardless the kind. Having the animal know her scent could benefit her for future purposes as well, but her excitement overtook the necessity. 

Throughout the tour, the monk could feel the gaze of onlookers, lowering her head on multiple occasions. The last thing she wanted was for people to know her face; it caused a risk. Glancing to Rufus, she could see the daggers he shot at any onlookers, and couldn’t stop a giggle from escaping her. He seemed like a man of privacy, something she could appreciate, enemy or not. 

Upon the higher floors, genuine interest took over at the sight of SOLDIER and animal training. Eyes grew wide with a gasp as she watched the large black hound. For just a quick moment when the cage was released, she took a defensive position - almost a force of habit at this point. She stepped before Rufus in an almost protective manner before the dog came to a stop before them. Her head cocked back at his movements - they were gentle. There was a kind smile as he pet the dog, and she squatted at his side. 

Admittedly, the glowing eyes set off as a threat to her. But, even as she sat there, tendril wagging, she gave the dog a smile. And that was when Tifa heard him speak - Meet Dark.
