[Vincent is out brooding somewhere in the forest. He's impressive at lurking but should anyone happen to be in the area, they may very well notice the tall, dark, mysterious man. A great deal is on his mind about what might happen in the battle, considering what dwells within him, waiting for release...]

[After a while, he sighs and takes out the journal to deal with the inevitable. He feels he needs to at least talk to Lucrecia at some point before he leaves. Things have felt strange between them since that day at the fountain.]

Lucrecia...?

I will be away for about a week.

Oh...

Re: [voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I know we haven't spoken... much, lately... but I want you to be informed of my whereabouts when I don't return home for that duration.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[hahaha understatement there, Vin.] Yes... yes of course.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[And of course he feels terribly Guilty. Although at this point he's not sure whether he's more guilty over the whole SLEEPING WITH LU thing or the whole NOT TALKING MUCH AT ALL afterward... mainly because he's so unsure how she feels about it. He doesn't want her unhappy on his behalf...]

I will inform you when I return, as well.

I... also want to apologize.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Stay safe, then...

...? A-apologize...?

[[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I promise you that I will. [He's more concerned for his allies should Chaos go out of control, but LET US NOT DISCUSS THAT.]


...I... yes. Apologize.

[Now what IS he apologizing for? He's not fully certain.]

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

All right. Good.

For what? I'm- I'm not sure I understand.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Sighs]

I'm not sure I understand entirely, myself.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Then why apologize...?

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Did I do anything that... made you unhappy with me?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[oh goddamnit are we going to do this now]

I- you- wh-

....

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Apparently we are. He fails at this...]

I'm sorry.

But... if you're uncomfortable or unhappy because of my actions...

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[Yes. Yes he does.]

...I-- n-no.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Woe he fails, woe and angst and sorrow, for he is a sinner of the worst kind and-]

[-wait did she say she wasn't unhappy or uncomfortable?]

Are you certain? Lucrecia...

[A pause. But he HAS to know, whether or not it'll cause him all that angst all over again.]

...Do you regret what happened?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[well shit, good way to put her on the spot.]

It- the wine, it was--

...no.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Vincent is in total shock again. So he's silent for a good while while he gathers his thoughts. He didn't expect this. He'd been preparing for the worst.]

Neither do I.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Then.... at least you can leave with no regrets.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[But will probably return with many. Keeps this gloom and doom to himself for now.]

You're right, Lucrecia... thank you for that.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Th-thank you? [confused. sooooo confused.]

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

For setting my mind at ease.

[On any matters concerning her, anyway.]

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Oh... right. Of course.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Then... I'll see you when I return.
