....Should I congratulate you on finding me a new hell to reside in?

You do recall the last time you brought me out and the fact that nobody is going to even know who I am, aside from Vincent and he's not exactly someone I'm ready to face.


But then again, what do you care? I'm just a puppet on a string for you.

[ Welp. This is awkward...

Vincent was going to speak up, to greet her but her confession about facing him makes him pause. Instead, he simply watches her quietly for a few moments. Perhaps he shouldn't disturb her... Perhaps it would be best if he left. The way she's dressed... perhaps she is from before she sealed herself in the crystal.

Even if not... She doesn't need to see him and see what he's become. His sins are his own, and he will not burden her with them. ]

You're really just going to stand there and stare at me?

Some things never change, do they?

[ He blinks and then looks away, speaking quietly. ]

... my apologies. It's... been a while. I was - surprised to see you... Lucrecia.

[ Well... something like that, anyway. ]

[chaos_proponent]

Of course you were.

I'm not exactly walking around and talking in your timeline.

[swooshycape]

[ He shakes his head once. ]

No... you are not.

[ Looking up again, he almost questions her about that but... that's right. This place lacks a 4th wall, so it really shouldn't be that surprising that she knows about her own future.

Hesitating, it takes him a few more moments to properly ask her (it doesn't help that she's still mesmerizing): ]

Why... would you not wish to face me?

[ After all, he is the one who failed - not her. Ah what a glorious pair of warped perspectives they make! ]

[chaos_proponent]

There are any number of reasons, Vincent.

[ He watches her again, studying her movements and expressions for any hints about what she's thinking. It's unclear if what he sees satisfies him or not, however, as his own remains mostly blank. He's gotten much better at building walls between himself and everything else than he used to be.

After a few moments, he turns away, cape swirling dramatically behind him, and he prepares to simply leave. ]

... then I can leave you be, if that is what you would prefer.

[chaos_proponent]

...You can stay if you want.

I just don't like the ideas she keeps coming up with. The last time I was anywhere near one of you.....

[swooshycape]

[ He stops mid-step and half-turns back again, curious. He keeps ]

What happened?

[awingeddarkness]

He's not the only one who would recognize you. Admittedly, you were immobile when I met you.

So why don't you do something about it instead of whining about it?
