[Having taken care of the coffin by tearing it apart, Vincent has wandered by the store for some supplies and now makes his way home. He's noticed Lucrecia being around the apartment more ever since it's started getting cold... and as a bodyguard, he has decided he must protect her from the elements. ...It makes logical sense in his mind, anyway. He also has to inform her to speak with Cloud, so has lots of excuses now to see her.]

[Yes, by his logic he still needs excuses even though he lives with her.]

[He heads inside the apartment...]

Lucrecia? ...Are you home?

[She finds it amusing and she's laughing some now. CAN SHE GET THAT REACTION AGAIN?]

[If she keeps that up, she will, soon enough...]

It's not like it was my intention to. [...she says as she keeps up the smiling and laughing and cute.]

[action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Y... you... [Again the faintest hint of an almost-smile. He's feeling things which... he hasn't felt since being a Turk. So long ago and despite everything...]

[action]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Me? [smile smile smile]

[action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Just... you. [Yes he's being so articulate now. :| And wanting to hug her.]

[doing what he does best. 8D] That doesn't tell me much, Vincent.

[action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I know... I apologize... [...And after taking a moment, FINALLY, he leans to hug her.]

[action]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[OH WOW WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. PLEASE HOLD.]

[action]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[...ok and we're back. Sort of. Still a little shocked. He's being a little more forward. Progress? PERHAPS.

And after a moment, she sort of hugs him back.]

[action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Yes it is some progress. He's been wanting to do that the whole time, really. It's just taken THIS LONG to get to that point. For now he is content to HUG the Lu.]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[CONGRATULATIONS VINCENT. She'll still keep sort of hugging him.] Vincent?

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Lucrecia...? [He is very much liking this, right now. Doesn't want to let her go. She's so warm and alive, it's so much better than visiting her encased in a crystal.]

[action]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Mm, it's nothing.

[action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

All right.

[action]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[At least he's warm. 8D Lucrecia liek warm! For now, she'll be content with that, up until he lets go.]
