[ It is okay to forget or lose track of things. Perhaps this is supposed to be comfort, this assurance that it doesn't bother Vincent if Yazoo isn't certain. As for the rest? ]
...I'd find it interesting. We were enemies. One day we could be again.
[ It's a painful truth. If Yazoo and Kadaj were to graduate but still turn back to seek Jenova's favor... There is a pause before he adds. ]
I'd think it's a sign you're growing. Maybe. Caring for someone besides your brothers.
[ For a moment, Vincent sobers. The talk of shooting someone... well there are jokes he does make from time to time. But this isn't one of them. Certainly not with their history. ]
If I shoot seriously at someone I want to live... then I've exhausted all other options.
[ The answer is quietly spoken. Almost... a little surprised at himself. ]
If you want. Though I plan to give them back to the maker.
[ He didn't. Shoot is a verb. And Yazoo may have meant that in the spirit of a morbid 'warning shot' but... Vincent is taking this a bit more seriously than he should.
Isn't he?
And yet he does move on. ]
I'll give you paper and pencil so you can note the names as you go.
[ Sigh. Vincent doesn't try to explain it again, instead letting Yazoo take the supplies and head off to his challenge.
Chase is certainly going to be getting an interesting package at the end of this. And perhaps Vincent himself a challenge when the two Remnants end up effecting a tie. ]

I wouldn't call you an enemy back then. I didn't hate you; I actually thought you were fun, but annoying since you kept big brother from us.
{...yeah, he knows that outcome.}
We were all we had. {That was why they had only cared for each other.}

[ Well, Vincent won't lie to Yazoo. He won't claim there was enjoyment in their clashes. ]
I wonder. Was that bond part of what the Admiral saw in you? I suppose it doesn't matter.
no subject
Is the bond the best part?
no subject
[ That's not one hundred percent true. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on it. But still, self-worth is an important skill to develop. ]
Just don't make it a contest over your positive traits.
no subject
Where's the fun in that?
no subject
[ Amusement. ]
A little boasting and self-confidence isn't a bad thing. But better in moderation.
[ All sorts of problems get started when you start comtrying to be best at everything. ]
Got any other questions? For the spider challenge.
no subject
Will you fire at me if I go too far?
{It's difficult to be content.}
Can I name them?

[ Another pause. ]
Label the jar if you want to pass that on.

One bullet wouldn't be enough, don't be dramatic.
{But it would probably hurt a lot in his current condition. Then there's the bleeding, which could kill him.}
That's okay. They need names.
{It's decided.}
Alright~

[ And so he will. ]
Good luck.

{...like he is one to talk. Cloud had gotten dozens of "warning shots" and Yazoo definitely doesn't hate him.}
Okay. I'll make sure they fit. {You don't name something willy-nilly!}
Thanks~ We'll be back soon.
Fin~
