That last statement provoked an eyebrow raise. Something seen rarely given Vincent's usual neutral expressions and stoicism. "Aside from the obvious, in that you were expressing your grief and anger, how is this your fault?"

Ironic that, considering Vincent often blamed himself for things that weren't in his control. Or took on guilt for things he had done that was all out of proportion. No doubt Sephiroth would be noting the same thing, but Vincent would not let him comment as an attempt at deflection. IF it came.

"Grief can be a private thing, and in the aftermath it seemed that you would welcome some privacy. Time to collect yourself, to regain some equilibrium, before dealing with anyone else."

Whether Sephiroth should or should not need it, Vincent was there anyways.
