Vincent had no intention of backing out, but did not comment as such, instead trailing behind him as Cid more or less led the way. The last couple of days had left him more quiet than usual--especially around Cid, which was odd in that itself, as he was usually the most active around him. He gazed up at the morning sky until they came to that fork, where he stopped beside Cid and hummed thoughtfully.

"Right."

Cid wondered for a moment what Vince's reasoning behind choosing the right side of the split was, but dropped that thought only a second after, realizing there probably wasn't any. Neither of them had been out, or knew their way around, so what did it matter, which way they took?

"Guess that's as good as anything." he replied, and begin making his way in the chosen direction.

He paid attention to all the shops that lined up in rows, occasionally broken up by hotels and other structures. None of these were what they were looking for, yet, however. Probably because they'd only just started in. Hopefully, further along...

As his thoughts kept going in such directions, Cid's eye caught sight of a gun and ammo shop. He turned to Vincent, and indicated the place with his thumb.

"Your ass wanna stop, while we're here, or are you good?"

Vincent's eyes roaved over the indicated shop almost hungrily, but shook his head. "On the way back," he replied smoothly. "That way we are not overencumbered by things we do not need for your ship."

He resumed walking, having paused when Cid pointed out the shop, cracking the knuckles of his human hand against the palm of his prosthetic. He felt as if he should say something, but was not quite sure as to why or what. He'd never been one for idle chatter, and did not have to start now, but something was present in the back of his mind, bothering him.

Not a bad answer, that. And hey, at least he'd given Vince the chance.

Continuing the walk onward, Cid grumbled a little underneath his breath. There hadn't even been any kind of mechanics, let alone part shops, yet. Would they even be able to get the shit they would need from the city, or would his ass have to wait until the castle started feeling gracious again?

It was as he was mentally cursing those thoughts, and the castle of course, always the castle, that something finally hit home in the pilot's head.

Vincent had his memories back, right? Yeah, yeah, the guy was pretty hushed by nature, but why did all the damn quiet around them feel so weird then?

"Fucking hell, this is annoying." Cid spoke simply and about everything in general. "Is this place even going to fucking indulge us any?"

Questions were good.

Vincent shrugged with one shoulder, otherwise remaining quiet. Perhaps eventually, they would come across something they could use--though it may or may not have been a smarter choice to ask someone who had resided longer in this place for information regarding such things.

Cid, in his own thoughts, not as Vincent could read them but still, was correct. The quiet did feel weird. And he knew what was bothering him on the inside was beginning to obstruct his ability to converse with Cid. Therefore...

"Cid?"
