This, That, and The Other (and The Other Other)
It was looking to be a rather busy week for Vincent. Aside from what he had to do, there were certain things he simply felt he should do, and at least one he was looking forward to.

	Vincent stepped in, looking to Kassia, collecting himself, and bowing his head. "Your highness. I wanted to apologize for our previous fight--" --that you started-- "--and assure you that there was no ill will." He holds out the gift basket. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She wasn't exactly buying the apology. She was certain he had commentary in his head even as he spoke. But he brought food. "...I appreciate the goodies, but I'm not sure I can eat these, Vincent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent, resisting the urge to smile like a crocodilian, simply turns the gift basket to let the bakery's label be more visible to Kassia. "A friend of mine with similar inclinations won't stop singing the place's praises." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, well, even though it's not really the Fantastic Four until the pretty one on the team has issues with Atlantean nobility, I felt it was the right thing to do to apologize. My life is complicated enough without letting another grudge take root."

Vincent makes a polite glance about the apartment.

"You seem like you're settling in nicely. Are you attending school here as well?"

	"Yeah, going to Midtown. Dad's idea. So far it's every bit as awful as Exeter. But I have my own place." She glances at Mac. "And neighbor cousin to have my back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He tilts his head. "You're still in high-school? Hm. I would not have guessed so."

Vincent lets out a reminiscing groan. "I had to attend public high school as well. A trying experience, I agree. If you ever would like help with any of the math or sciences, let me know."

There's a slight moment of hindsight, in which he hopes that came out as a polite and genuine offer, rather than an insinuation that she needed help.

	"I'm going to try to test into pre-Calc. The school is dragging their feet at the idea of a sophomore taking a senior class. I'll keep you in mind for any issues I might encounter." Vincent got lucky; she wasn't going to harsh him for this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent nods and pulls a card from his wallet with his contact information on it. "Anytime." He hands Kassia the card. He seems like he's chewing on a particular thought, debating whether something falls on the side of open channels of discussion, or being too honest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want to say something else." Kassia was telepathic, after all. She could tell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent blinked. "I want to... I'm just not sure I should. It's not implicitly offensive, but at this point I'm thinking it falls under honesty in excess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent actually laughs at that, feeling some of the tension dissipate.

"All right, here's what I didn't say earlier. Even though I know the apology was prompted by social etiquette and international diplomacy... when it comes right down to it, I don't want a good woman being left upset by something I did. I've had too much of that already." He shrugs.

If he'd known she was a telepath, he would have been on guard enough to not superimpose 'strong and beautiful' over the verbal 'good'.

"Do you often not say what you're actually thinking?" Kassia was curious about this. That he had thought one thing but said another was interesting. "Your apology is accepted, but I don't really understand what my prowess and my appearance has to do with anything. Doing the better thing is just that...doing the better thing."

She tilted her head.

"It's cool, Vincent."

	"Okay. The word 'prowess' has just entered the conversation of whether my cousin is a 'good woman,' and I'm not legal to drink in New York. So maybe we ought to consider calling it a night..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent slammed his mental walls up as soon as he now realized that Kassia possessed some measure of telepathy. He affords MacKenzie's comment a chuckle before responding to Kassia.

"Not that sort of prowess, MacKenzie." He looks to Kassia. "And often enough, though not nearly as often as I used to." He shrugs. "I know the right thing is it's own reward, but I was just being honest."

He puts down the gift basket and extends a hand. "I'm glad there's no trouble."

	Kassia accepts his extended hand. "Thanks for the treats, Vincent. I appreciate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac stands silently, trying to not be interfering even if he has a misgiving or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent resists the urge to gild the lily and kiss her hand, merely bowing slightly at the waist before standing up and releasing her hand.

"Excellent. Hopefully the next time we meet there won't be a need for violence or peace offerings. Perhaps I'll see one or both of you at the Stark Winter charity event." He gives his best smile, before looking to MacKenzie as well.

"Good evening to you both. I hope New York agrees with you."

	Kassi noted the smile and nodded. "Perhaps. Have a good evening, Vincent." Okay, so when he didn't need to be pounded on, he was kind of cute. A little. Slightly. She let Mac see him to the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)
