[Vincent is wandering outside, away from the town. It's obvious from his appearance that he's deep in thought. What that might be about... only he would know for certain.]

Hey there.

[Turns and glances to where the voice came from. He says nothing yet, but gives him a curious look.]

[nilradiance.livejournal.com]

[You're getting the one character I have least likely to help with gifts in any way: KH!Cloud. He's passing by on his way back to the village, the wrapped sword on his back. There's a curious though brief look at Vincent's attire.

...His hair's dyed dirty blond, btw.]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[...That's strange. He spoke to the Cloud he knows not too long ago, and assumes this is him. But something, again, is not quite right.]

Cloud?

[nilradiance.livejournal.com]

[That gets Cloud to stop, looking over his shoulder. He doesn't know Vincent--he's sure he'd remember the metal claw, since that caught his attention--so.]

Yes, but not the one you're thinking of.

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[He accepts the explanation readily, because there's enough slightly different about him that it makes sense.]

Perhaps you're from a different time than the Cloud I know.

[nilradiance.livejournal.com]

Or a different world.

You're from Gaia, aren't you?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Yes. What world are you from?

[nilradiance.livejournal.com]

Radiant Garden.

...You're taking this easily. [A little surprised, considering how baffled most of Cloud's friends were when he arrived.]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Considering all that he's been through, Vincent has an amazing tolerance for the unexpected.]

...Little surprises me.

aaaaand late tag. x_x;

[nilradiance.livejournal.com]

No. I guess it wouldn't. [Especially not in this place.]

[Sephiroth's up in a tree, reading a book. He looks up at the sound of someone approaching and... why, what luck indeed to be able to recognize the gunbearer.]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Vincent is perceptive to that feeling that he's being watched. He looks around and then his glance turns to Sephiroth. And now it's a glare.]

Sephiroth.

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his face and cups it in one hand.]

So good to be recognized.

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

...From what I know, you haven't caused this place any turmoil. Yet.

[Stares at him longer, prepared for anything he'll attempt.]

See that it remains that way.

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[Bored face; really, Sephiroth doesn't feel the need for grandstanding when he's this confident he can kick Vincent's skintight leather ass from now until Ragnarok.]

In which case you'll... stop me?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

If I must.

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[oh, so scared]

One has to wonder why you hate me so.

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

It's not... quite that. It's complicated.

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[raised eyebrow]

It must be complex indeed for your reasons to escape me. At base, your fellows fought to cling to what lives they had... but you had already consigned yours to darkness, long before my choice. Why change your mind?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Not for my sake.

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[curiouser and curiouser]

Whose, then?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't know.

[...Ironically enough.]

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[...how dearly this man loved his mystery]

Why not enlighten an old... adversary?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Someone to whom I owe much.
