[ Vincent opens the door. In his hands he has supplies, thanks to Yazoo's helpful 'it's me'. Thirty rubber bands and the jar with tiny holes in it for air. ]
Any questions?
[ Hopefully Yazoo intends to return the jar with spiders in it, because keeping them might not let Vincent count them. Also there might be other matters to address. It'll certainly be interesting times. ]
I suspect someone's been up to something. I plan to have a talk with them when I return their efforts.
[ ...That... sounds a bit more ominous than what he probably intends to do when speaking to Chase. But surely Vincent isn't the type of individual to prank someone with spiders.
[ ...Ah. Well admittedly, Vincent isn't sure if this is some nervousness about infirmaries in general or concern for Vincent himself. Or that he should consider that question either at all. ]
You didn't know? I'm supervisor for the medical inventory.
[ This time, Vincent's head tilts a little to the side as if curious. ]
{The latter more than the former, actually. Yazoo likes Vincent and has adopted him. He visibly relaxes and looks away, silver strands partially hiding his embarrassment.}
I forgot.
{He still would've asked the question even if he remembered, though.}
[ 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. ]

Vincent! It's me!

Date: 2025-04-17 10:10 pm (UTC)I'll probably be in the infirmary or my cabin. Contact me if I'm not.
[ There is... almost a trace of a smile. ]
I'll be fine. But thanks.
[ He appreciates the offer, Yazoo. But also he knows it's probably the implication of mischief that's the root cause of such altruism in this case.

Also mischief is a way of life for Yazoo.}

Date: 2025-04-29 11:55 am (UTC)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.

We were all we had. {That was why they had only cared for each other.}

Date: 2025-04-29 06:01 pm (UTC)[ 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.

Date: 2025-05-07 02:59 pm (UTC)[ 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. ]

That's okay. They need names.

Okay. I'll make sure they fit. {You don't name something willy-nilly!}
Thanks~ We'll be back soon.
