[Vincent's expression was as neutral as ever. Had Sephiroth seen him earlier, he might have caught hints of frustrated anger, tension at his brow. But for now, it seemed there was little they could do. At least regarding the crystal...
That the darker-haired man had chosen to move closer, what he'd said, gave more clues to what he could mean. Unafraid to meet Sephiroth's eye, to treat him as his own person and not the madman, the potential monster.]
Is it worth it?
[His head canted slightly to the side, crimson eyes catching hints of brighter color as the crystal sparked above them and he looked out into the void.]
When I first arrived here, I met one who is not yet the ally I knew, but has the core of who he might become. His desire to see others happy. When I asked his advice, he suggested I find my niche. Figure out what makes me happy, here. In this place.
[Letting his gaze snap back to Sephiroth's own.]
Regardless of who he becomes, he spoke wisely. We should determine for ourselves, who we will be.
[And perhaps Vincent was saying it for himself, as much as for Sephiroth. They would never be able to escape the scars or their pasts. But must they be bound by a future not of their own making, of their own choices?]
