If I Gave Up That Easily, Nothing Would Ever Get Done
Vincent's thoughts wandered as he went over some of the paperwork for one of his college courses. Valeria and Bentley may have gotten there ahead of him, but he was confident he'd have his first doctorate in a perfectly respectable amount of time as well. Still, he'd been thinking of the holiday party, and Lyta Worthington. She'd played hard to get. Not something he was accustomed to encountering in his lifetime, and he was intrigued. His paper didn't make much more headway before he put it aside to put his mind to work on contacting her. As soon as he has it, and has his thoughts collected, he calls her cell.

	"Seems concise enough." Vincent nods to himself, letting Lyta order her drink first as the waiter arrives. "Most of my pre-existing study has been more in the way of applied work. The engineering doctorate is largely a formality at this stage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to run my father's company someday," Lyta said. "I have to know what I'm doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent places his own order, then seems contemplative. "I... don't know what I'm going to do with my father's 'company', so to speak." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Running a corporation is a lot different from running a country," Lyta said. Yes, Vincent. She did her research. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grimaces. "Tell me about it. I've made peace with taking over things after he dies. I just have no idea what I'm going to do with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, for starters, it'd be nice if they weren't always on the verge of throwing rocks back and forth with their neighbors. And by rocks I mean missiles." He huffs. Honestly, his father was such a child in some ways. Granted, Lady Sablinova was worthy of respect, but she didn't always help matters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's on the list, yes. I just... it's a country. A small country, granted, but still. I've already got the whole 'heir' thing as a sword over my head. Just the occasional party appearance or message delivered for the Embassy so far, but still.

Studying to take over a corporation sounds much more satisfying, by comparison, even if not necessarily easier." He gives her a nod, trying to word things to make it clear he's not dismissing her own path at all.

	"Studying to take over a coporation is still extremely difficult. It's not a country, yes, but it has its own level of politics." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Their drinks arrive, and he takes his glass and raises it to her. "To leadership, may we be up to the task." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta raised her glass in a toast. "I'll drink to that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And he drinks. Deeply. "So what kind of movies do you like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like martial arts movies, or period pieces... and this might sound silly; I like fantasy movies, but they make me a little bit homesick." He grins sheepishly. "I was still very young when I came to Earth, but I was born in Asgard, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shrugs. "They don't compare to the Golden Realm's real splendor, but it's enough to trigger some emotions. In a good way. Anything that makes you nostalgic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
