What If: If you liked it, then you should have put the ring on.
Kristoff Vernard, age 22, didn't leave his lab for a long time. He wasn't sure he could handle the humiliation.

"I'm so sorry," she had said. "It's not that I don't care for you, but I'm fairly sure I could never marry you."

The small bottle of Latverian brandy had been a birthday gift he'd been saving for a special occasion. It was empty now.

"I am somewhat fond of madness. And celestial matters." Vincent cannot help but grin slightly.

It passes, and he speaks again. "And I do need you. Most of all right now I need you to believe that your value is not determined by Cassandra's estimation of you as a potential husband. Right now you are in no condition to estimate your worth."

He goes a bit quieter. "You are my brother, and a great hero and scientist, and a good man."

	A shower may make a man more clean, but not more sober. "Yes, all those things, until one can get better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent curls up his face and smacks a palm down on the table. "Stop being.. being.. STUPID!" As observed, Vincent is twelve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Then answer me this, phral. Honestly," Kristoff says hoarsely. And he's about to ask. Ask if Vincent could look him in the eyes and claim that if his divine family came back for him at just that moment, the last four years would mean anything more than a memory. He knows it to be true; no matter how much Kristoff loves his brother, or how much occasional affection Vincent feels for him, he is, as everyone else ever was, merely making do with a fallback option.

But he looks at him, and softens. What good would it do, besides spreading the pain? "...Would my going to bed satisfy you? And get you to go to bed? You should not allow your sleep cycle to be disrupted."

"My sleep cycle can withstand far more deviation than yours, Kristoff." Vincent says crisply, getting up from the table and walking around to take Kristoff by the arm.

"But yes, let's put you to bed. Hopefully most of that alcohol is out of your system. That you need natural REM sleep so badly is what's keeping me from simply mesmerizing you and making you go to bed."

Says the twelve year old.

	And just as he was pulling himself together, Kristoff's face tightens again. "Vincent, this does not qualify as an emergency situation. You do not get to violate people's minds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent sighs and rolls his eyes. "Of course, Kristoff. You've taught me better than that." He continues trying to move his brother towards rest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff will insist at Vincent take the matter seriously, and that he had better get to bed himself. But he will rest. (Reply to this)(Parent)
