Vincent Valentine was fairly constant and consistent, when he devoted himself to something. Even if that devotion hurt, and was still in a tentative and fragile state. But, as he had on Gaia, he found himself visiting Lucrecia, encased in Crystal once more.

They had talked, after the events where they had all been spirited away from the city, and reminders of their past, she had cornered him--they were overdue for some serious talks. Nor was he unhappy she had cornered HIM this time around. Not that speaking came easy--the past between them was complicated and painful, and Crystallis had only made things more complicated.

But they HAD talked. And before she had gone into stasis, they had agreed. Both still cared, but neither was going to jump in blindly. The most open thing they'd done so far simply consisted of Vincent walking her home from the lab at late nights. Small progress, but it was progress.

With her entering stasis though, Vincent had behaved similarly to how he had at least twice before on Gaia. A few times a week, he would visit her in the crystallized heroes wing. A plain glass vase, small bouquets of flowers left. Never very long in his visits, but enough that it was rather clear for those who knew how to understand.

Ophelia, while being his companion, has been decidedly enjoying the quiet romance she's playing witness to.

[There was amusement in the tone, even if his expression remained the same.]

I can see how you would get along with Reno then.

[Whether that was a good thing or bad thing was not clear.]

A colleague, of sorts.

[censorshipnutkin]

Reno, maybe. His cat.... not so much. [The beat hated him, really.]

I see. How long has she been crystallized?

[bloodypast]

I have not yet met his cat.

[Vincent hadn't known Reno had one, honestly. It hadn't come up before.]

A few weeks now.

[censorshipnutkin]

He's a little crazy and likes to destroy things that aren't Reno's. He decided to destroy my bedding one morning when Reno was in the shower and I was out shopping.

[A sigh.]

I'm sorry. This may sound hollow, but is there anything I can do to help?

[bloodypast]

[There is a head-shake, subtle, but negative all the same.]

I suspect I might be doing more to help you, by simply listening.

[It's something he does often with Reno.]

[censorshipnutkin]

[He shrugs, he kind of is.]

Still kind of new here, and figuring out what's going on.

Any advice for newcomers?

[bloodypast]

[Advice for newcomers? Hmmm... Vincent honestly wasn't sure what advice would be helpful. Everyone often reacted differently, and what motivated once person might motivate another person differently.]

Advice is not exactly my strong area.

[Murmured, but he would try.]

The most useful advice I have received is to simply focus on this world. Whatever has happened or will happen at home, can not necessarily be affected in a way to deal with our home world, until events on Crystallis are dealt with.
