On The Couch
Vincent takes a deep breath. Doctor Samson hadn't spoken yet, waiting for him to make himself comfortable. He lays down on the couch, then sits up, then lays back down again. He turns on his side, facing out the window. Samson's office had an excellent view. The place always smelled like crushed peppermint as well. He wondered if that was just for him, or for all his patients. It was probably just for him, or only a few others. Samson was meticulous like that.

Before it had been a full five minutes into the hour, he finally cleared his throat, speaking up.

"So.. It was my idea to seek some manner of professional help. Kristoff agreed it was in order and chose you."

	"By my father, a favored servant at best and a piece of equipment at worst. By myself... I've taken him for granted. Convinced myself there was nothing I could do short of murder that would make him give up on me or abandon me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course he hasn't abandoned me. Even of I deserved it, he's not capable of giving up on anyone. I don't know what he thinks of me anymore though." His voice quiets. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At the obvious risk of further dramatics? How can I be sure of what my brother thinks of me when I don't even know what to think of myself? I thought once Lord Odin renamed me.. once I'd been truly acknowledged, and still able to come home... I thought I'd feel like... I suppose 'more complete' would be the best assessment."

	"And that more completeness, that perfect sense of identity, was reliant on being able to have your divinity and get a heroes welcome home, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, not that simple... I've made peace with being a child of two worlds, but it just never felt right. The whole business with Asgard... I never even realized until it was right there in front of me how much I needed it. But..." He lifts his head, looking at Samson. "I need my family here more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I just told them the whole story. Franklin took it VERY badly... Kristoff didn't seem to appreciate some of the particulars about why I accepted the one Lord Odin selected, it was nearly trivial compared to everything else, the other don't seem to have much reaction."

He runs a hand through his hair. "As for myself... I wanted a new identity. Not completely removed from myself, but..

I.. I'm not his son, I am the product of his blood, and nothing more. My mother is... more complicated, but carrying her name was nothing. It was quite literally the lesser of evils. I can't hate her as I do him, but Susan Richards, Rahne Sinclaire, and Cassandra Lang-Vernard have been more mothers to me than her."

	"Yes, the name thing's definitely relatively trivial. I was just curious. So you got telling them out of the way right away -- did you give them all the other details right away, too, or did you take any pauses for interruption?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"From the moment I was whisked away, to the conclusion of the battle. I told them everything in one setting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"....And you were aware of what Andrea was going through when the incident happened, that Cassandra was bedridden and couldn't help as they faced some serious problems...and your priority was making sure they understood all the details of your fresh and exciting new start?"

	A little nod. Leonard does not choose to point out that Vincent has finally actually said it himself. Instead, he looks at his watch. "Well, we're coming near to the end of a double session." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-05-29 02:27 am UTC (link)
	"Not our last." Vincent comments. It's as much a statement of his own intention as being confident that Kristoff has arranged such. He picks up the cube from the table again and thoroughly scrambles it once more, before standing up. "Thank you, Doctor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-05-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Leonard stands and nods. "See you next Tuesday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-05-29 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Tuesday it is." He heads for the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)
