[Hey, it's a dude who looks like Vic! Only this guy cries less and is a teeny bit more psychotic]

I thought all you ladies loved kitty cats

[Color her surprised to see someone who is a dead ringer for Vic.]

...No, not all of us. Usually the types that have cats have no lives whatsoever.

Who are you exactly?

[He shrugs]

eh, whatever you say, hermana

[Giving her a slightly unsettling smile]

Vaas. And you are..?

What'd you call me?

[The smile is unsettling. She's waiting for him to ask for a hit or to be part of a new scheme.]

Vaas...not far from Vic. [Muttered to herself.]

Sarah.

Hermana? 'Sister' [Chuckling to himself] It's Spanish. They never teach you that shit in school?

[Don't worry, he's pretty docile. Most of the time.]

S'nice to meet you, Sarah - I have not seen you around before, and I've been here a little while now..you're new, yes?

[There's a small pause]

And who is this 'Vic'.

Never paid attention in school. [Well she did, half the time but she's still trying to get over the fact that this guy, Vaas, looks like Vic, smiles like Vic...but not crazy, well seemingly as crazy.

This'll take some getting used to.]

No...been 'ere for two months now.

Vic's..an old acquaintance. Someone I'd rather not deal with again. [Putting it mildly.]

[If you're gonna keep looking at him like that, you might as well ask him to dinner first..]

Aaah, that's no good..you need to know things, but then again...you get nowhere memorising bullshit facts..

[Well then...he's just going to go on and ignore the fact he was way off with that assumption. Moving on!]

Old ghosts eh? I know that feeling. Loved ones, friends - they have a habit of blind siding you you know? One minute everything's fine and then BOOM [Sorry for the sudden shouting...] You got a knife in your back wondering where the fuck you went wrong

[Pft. Oh no, she's gonna keep her guard up and try and stay as far away from him as possible.]

Know enough to evade the cops, think that's good enough. [She knows more than she's letting on, but he doesn't need to know that.]

He wasn't a loved one. [Spoken right before he shouts, causing her to take a step back. Shit, maybe him and Vic share more than a pretty face. Vic had a knack for speaking normally then SUDDENLY SHOUTING. And maybe Vic was a loved one once, but not now.]

Know the feelin', had a few close calls on that. But, shit..you look a hell of a lot like him. You...have a twin or somethin'?

A girl after my own heart - but to answer your question, no, no twins. Got a sister, buut..[No one needs to hear about her] we can't pick our relatives.

What is it, eh? The eyes? The hair maybe?

[As he runs both palms over either side of his shaved head, he laughs, a little louder this time.]

[Sarah will just stand a little straighter at that. Yeah...no, she's not going after a guy like Vic ever again. She learned her lesson there.]

No, it's...way more than that. [No, can't be a clone. So he must be some guy...from another world that looks a lot like Vic. Great, this could...this could really work out to her favor.]

Could pass off as his twin, but you're not as tweaked at he is--a very good thing.

Where you from?

[Well either way, her body language has been noticed and noted, though he doesn't say anything.]

More? Huh...there's something you don't hear everyday. Tell him to come to the next family reunion.

Me? [Tapping his chest lightly with both hands] A little bit of everywhere. Got an island, a few thousand miles that way [Gestures vaguely to the side with a smirk]

Hot sun, long white beaches..it's a little personal paradise.

Don't think you'd want him there, unless you want a loose canon around.

[Raises an eyebrow at him. That sounds good, but too good at the same time. Was there a catch to that?]

Sounds like you have it made, then. Take it your Mun actually listens to you?

I've got, ah..a little experience with loose cannons, believe it or not

[What with him being one..]

eh, you know..me and her, we got an understanding. She causes me no trouble, I cause none for her.

[Or so he says]

I can believe it. [Wouldn't surprise her if he and Vic managed to share that trait.]

Wanna trade? This one gives me more trouble than I care for. Thinks giving a kitten will fix everything. [Huffs, not too pleased in the least.]

And we're back to the kitty. Tell me something, hermana - what is it your mun is trying to make all better, hm?

[And for once, he's actually interested in her answer, or at least, a little bit.]

Something to do with this Vic person, maybe?

[Rolls her eyes.] No, Vic has nothin' to do with this.

She wants to give me something to...take care of. Somethin' to distract me with. [Which won't work. Too stubborn for that shit.]

Alright,better question - what do you need distracting from? Hm?

And please, if I'm being too personal, you let me know

[Not that that would stop him..]

What the sudden need to know? [Because she won't tell him everything.

But yes, he's being too personal and she doesn't want to explain that she had cat ears for a week and treated a friend like a kitten/child.]

Why does anyone ask anybody anything?

Curiosity, hermana. Plain and simple.

You do realize curiosity killed more than just a cat, don't you? [Rhetorical and sarcastic question.]

I don't wanna get into it, alright?

[Hands up in mock surrender]

Alright, alright, we've all got skeletons..in our closets, that is

[Sniggering under his breath, he gives Sarah another once over]

Must have been something pretty messed up, to have such a hardened young lady such as yourself on the defensive.

Then again, most girls like you are like that. In the good way. [Big grin]

No kiddin'. [Muttered under her breath.]

It was...[Oh fuck it all.] It embarrassin' and she thinks a kitten will make all the awkwardness an' shit go away.

Aaah, hermana - you gotta learn to laugh at yourself, you know?

Normally I'd ah..I'd suggest putting one right here [Holding a finger gun to his temple and clicking his tongue] But, that's not really an option here...

Yeah, yeah so I've been told. [At least she has more of a sense of humor than Beth.]

...No it's not. Not at this point, really. But whatever.

Should listen...s'good advice..

[After a moment]

I'd take the cat. I'm more of a dog man, but you know, cat's are good too. Not so much the big ones - a pain in the fucking ass. One minute you're patrolling an outpost, then there's a fucking leopard or tiger fucking everything up..
