[Sephiroth doesn't break that eye contact until Vincent is finished speaking; as few as those words are. It seems that he's finding it easier and easier to connect with Vincent the more that they are in each others company. It's almost comfortable to remain in mostly silence around the ex-Turk...perhaps it's the knowledge that they might well be considered as colleagues. Like there is forever unspoken ideals behind their entire manner. Uopn reflection he'll find that it's similar to how he'd felt around Genesis and Angeal when all three of them had been here.
He nods, just once, at Vincent - having come to that conclusion before. That the only way to progress here will be to take each day as it comes, each set of challenges as completely unrelated. But it's much easier said than done when at almost every turn he's been faced with the truth of his damnable future.]
