In the vicinity of teen!Vincent

Fox wanders around and around this dream. She spends a lot of time just staring at the crystal-encased woman, but when the whispers start, she moves along. She continues through the battle, dodging things and moving like a fighter, but eventually and with encouragement she gets through the next door. She walks straight past the coffin, not going to open that. One look at Chaos in the lab and she hurries straight along. She sees the young Turk!Vincent, but he looks far too busy to bother, so she continues on.

It's when she comes to the small house that Fox seems to relax, finally taking her time to investigate the setting. She spots Vincent and nods politely to him, recognising him as a younger version of the man she's spotted in a few of the rooms in this dream. Perhaps this time she'll get to talk to him, though she has no idea what to ask.

The young man nods back.

"If you're looking for my father, he's in Midgar. I think."

The voice is already deep, but barely. The house is simply furnished, but comfortable. however, it distinctly lacks a feminine touch, and no one else is around.

[halflingfox]

"Actually," she begins, not sure if this is the right thing to say. But does it matter? With nothing to lose, she just goes for it. "I think it's you I'm looking for. What's your name?"

[ff_red_turk]

The young man blinks, as if a bit surprised that anyone would be looking for him.

"I'm Vincent. Vincent Valentine. Are you sure you're not looking for my father ?"

He starts for the kitchen cupboard as he speaks and starts leying out some food and preparing it. It looks like noodle soup with quite a lot of different vegetables in it.

"I wasn't expecting anyone."

Basement/Coffin and onwards

The woman encased in the crystal only got an interested look from Snape at first before he moved to try talking to Vincent. It's only when the man refuses to respond that Snape shakes his head, about to continue on when he hears her voice. Apologies, again and again, so he turns to look back at her again, sharp eyes drifting over her features before settling on the yellow ribbon wound in in hair. A familiar yellow ribbon that Vincent had showed him once before.

Ah.

She gets another glance, one to fix her features into his mind before he continues on, moving through the battlefield easily. Except the coffin on the floor catches him by surprise and he pauses for a moment before striding forward and pulling the cover off.

Vincent. In a coffin. Not the most... comforting sight.

Basement/Coffin and onwards

[ff_red_turk]

For a long time there is no movement from Vincent. It doesn't even look like he's breathing. Then, his eyes flutter open, but they are strangely vacant, like he does not see anything in front of him.

[snarkypotions]

Eying him, Snape moves into his vision, making sure to let the other man see him while being careful to be able to dodge out of the way in time should the newly awakened, presumably dead, man decide to react aggressively.

"Valentine?"

[ff_red_turk]

There is a deep sigh, and then Vincent closes his eyes again.

The door at the end of the basement suddenly slams open, a clear invitation to leave.
