Jack is going to the "Happy Farm".

[cruelties]

Even I find it unseemly to mock the death of someone's family member.

Even if I must be the one to dirty his hands once again. I'm really going to lose everything this time.

But ha, ha, I still always have Gil!

Someone else's? Were we not family, love?

[hairdecs]

My mun makes horrible, awful jokes.

[cruelties]

You did wish for me to call you 'Big brother', but I wished for us to be like Gilbert and his master. [A pause.] It seems to have come to the same end anyway.

[cruelties]

And you are so gentle and sensitive. How unfortunate.

[goldplaited]

I was never fit to be any sort of a master, Vince. [He smiles briefly.] What you have done, perhaps, maybe a step towards absolution of us both.

[hairdecs]

Are you going to be okay, Mr. Vincent?

[cruelties]

Would you call murder such a thing?

[cruelties]

I am quite fine.

[goldplaited]

Yes. Perhaps I should have taught you better?

[hairdecs]

You... said Mr. Jack was bad, right?

[cruelties]

You are too forgiving, still, I think.

[cruelties]

Yes. [Jack was bad, but he's worse. Jack was like perhaps a favorite childhood sweater that must be outgrown. Comforting, warm, loved, but eventually becoming frayed and tattered.

Yet one still held onto the pieces and tried to chase the scents still embedded in the cloth to inspire memories.]

But...no one is like Jack, and no one shall replace him for me.

[hairdecs]

Ah, okay... but if you ever get lonely, I can come visit.

[cruelties]

The house will be a prefect mess, what with the master gone.

[Leo at least has been adamant the home stay clean even with Fang gone. With him gone as well however...]

[hairdecs]

I can clean!

[And also cause destruction while attempting such.]

[cruelties]

[At this point it probably would not make such a difference.]

But I am not your master Finny. Why would you clean up my mess? I am just a servant now with no lord.

[That he has lost twice.]

[hairdecs]

Because we're friends!

[Vincent laughs softly.]

And it never becomes too much, does it?

[hairdecs]

Hm? What do you mean?

[cruelties]

Only that if you touch something that is rotten eventually it taints you.

[hairdecs]

I don't think you're rotten.

[cruelties]

Ha, ha, if you did, I doubt you much want to be around me!

[hairdecs]

Well, of course... but you're always very nice to me. Why shouldn't I be nice back?

[cruelties]

I have been very kind, haven't I? [It almost feels like an oversight at times.] Oh, but one day, you will have to see my other side I think.

[hairdecs]

... will you try and hurt me?

[cruelties]

Only if I have cause.

[hairdecs]

I hope you don't.

[cruelties]

[Vincent just smiles, but it does not quite reach his eyes. He's unwilling to say "I hope so too". Beyond the simple fact it would be a break in character so to speak, he's also uncertain if it would be a lie. He will do Finny the dignity at least of raising no hope, making no promises.]
