the placing of these next to each other is exquisite

... I've never liked her. I know he would have had to die regardless, but I wonder about what her reasoning for doing it was.

[she's not quite impartial on this, because she adored lucas, but there's something cold in her tone.]

...I think it's likely we both know what the reason was.

[ rondo says, very softly, looking down - his expression just melts to something sadder. for the situation, as ever - quietly sympathetic but disapproving all the same. she was emotional, and upset, and all it was was yuffie taking vengeance for the death of aerith in an act of impulse.

it's always like this. no closure. just - silence. an abrupt, miserable exit. his heart aches for mathis, and... it was no secret that rondo adored lucas, too. ]

I suppose so.

Someone else should have done it. Speaking of which - tomorrow... May I ask you for a favor?

[ yeah. yeah. he'd been prepared in the moment, but...

when the question comes, he tilts his head a little against hers so he can pull back and look at her. ] Of course, Vin. Anything.

I don't mean to stay your hand. And I think something will need to be done about her. But if you notice Gale in particular preparing to take action...

[a small pause.]

It's not my place to say what it is. But there's something he needs very badly from that room.

[ he thinks, for a moment, about what he knows of gale - and he nods, solemn. ]

I would gladly take the chance not to have another's blood on my blade. [ with a slight, soft smile. ] And besides... if it can go for a worthy cause, I'd be honored and gladdened to step aside.

In the moment, if - if it looks dangerous and I need to step in, I'd be just as glad to offer whatever item he needed as well. I have no need for the things in that case.
