[it was easier to discuss the almost death when you have actually been killed multiple times before. the most emotional part of it had been the fact someone had stopped it from happening this time.

there's a sympathetic twinge when he explains they assigned him a family. she thinks Vander might have needed this date, this night, even more than her.]

That mission really did fuck with us, huh? [she won't bring attention to the sympathy she feels for him. not entirely sure he wants to have that on him right now. but there is a hint of it in her voice, to let him know she understood how hard that must have been.]

Vincent is... [how does one explain her relationship with Vincent?] It's complicated. [she laughs because that's putting it lightly.] He's complicated. We're from the same universe. I didn't know him before here, though. If you ever meet him, remember: he's far more helpful and easier to deal with if you're helpful to him. Just some advice on dealing with him. [she was sure that Vincent had gotten away from the human sacrifice angle so it was probably safe for Vander to meet him without Vincent scaring the guy off.]

Next mission we take each other out and keep going the whole night? I vote yes. But only if that isn't the only time we're spending time together.
