A day's time...? Then I must prepare.

In the meantime if... No, never mind. It's just as well I'm not here.

[It's more notice than one ever gets with a kidnapping, he knows that, although it's still... bothersome. Vincent had hoped he could continue the beginning of this year in relative peace. Besides, it's another New Feather wave and he always finds himself wondering every time whether she'll be returned. But it might be best if he's away for a time so he's not constantly wondering.]

[So Vincent will be hurrying along between places- weapons shop, item shop, and a stop by the Barracks for some old-fashioned shooting. Sometimes just putting bullets repeatedly in a target is the best thing.]

...What happens in a day's time?

I'm being sent on one of their... 'missions.'

Ah, you mean the voluntary ones? I really should look into that myself.

[It would give him something to do, and perhaps give an opportunity to learn something.]

Although they apparently don't leave much time to prepare, when they decide you'll be of use... Typical of them.

[But it is definitely worth... seeing what comes of it.]

Well, we know how they roll by now. The lack of preparation time should hardly be a surprise anymore.

We might as well always be prepared for these things. It'll be a bother not having time to put a strategy together in advance, but I can think just as well on my feet.

They give us no choice but to endure on their schedule.

[He just wanted some time to himself, and to angst over the New Feather Cycle... but perhaps it's really best this way.]

I'll inform you about it afterward.

[A brief frown.]

It sounds quite inconvenient when you put it that way...

I would appreciate it. Would they allow us to go on these missions together?

[Item Shop, you say? If he arrives between the hours of ten and three, the proprietor will be there. Sadly. Without her music. But if it's earlier in the day, she's in the back sorting things, and if it's later in the day, she's in the front, reading.]

[Vincent comes in sometime later in the day, glancing around and then heading toward the area with potions and restoratives. He can't be sure what he's being sent into, exactly, but he's going to take precautions regardless.]

[Glance up - Oh, hello, nice coat - it seems like he knows what he's looking for - glance down.

...sigh.]

If ya need help findin' anything, just let me know.

[He glances over, face half-hidden by the high collar.]

If I knew entirely where I was going...

[Straightening up a bit. She's not the type to ask people questions, but with an opening like that...]

Take it you're headed outside the barrier, then?

Yes... I'm being sent on one of their missions.

[If it's anything like the drafts, then he more or less knows what to expect, but he's convinced they'll throw something more unexpected at him.]

Why's it just as well that you're not here?

[Hm, how to explain it...]

...Have you ever anticipated something that you weren't sure would happen?

Like what?

[Selphie's got that sinking feeling right now and she doesn't like where this conversation is going.]

[Come out and say it, self.]

Like the potential arrival of someone from home.

[Though it's half anticipation, half dread. He doesn't want Lucrecia to suffer here, but where she is back home...]

[...here's where Selphie lets her guard down and the cheer leaves her voice. All that's left is sadness.]

My friends have come and gone and I don't want them ever coming back.

[Vincent notices that sadness, and can guess as to why she'd think that way.]

Is that because you wish to spare them the worst of this place... or that you couldn't bear to lose them again?

Oh, are you going on another trip, Vincent?

[Their last trip was so much fun! She hopes she can go with him this time, too.]

This time it's... one of their trips.

Are you going to keep someone else company instead?

The Malnosso.

[Yes, sounds wonderful doesn't it?]

Oh, are they lonely?

[To Grune, everything sounds wonderful.]

[...He's started to notice that, about her. Maybe he'd better explain further.]

No... it's to go on one of their missions. I expected to be sent on one eventually, but... was unaware of the timing.
