Flashback: Age 16
Vincent glared across the table at Kristoff, who'd managed to corner him after getting home from school. He'd zoned out most of what he'd been yelling, waving a newspaper about, but he'd picked up some bits about their last battle, against members of the Serpent Society.

"All right, all right..." He sighed. "You've got my attentions. Tell me what I did that you think was wrong."

	"I realize you are new at this, Vincent," Kristoff says, setting what he was holding down on the table with a sigh. "But when dealing with a threat to public safety, I should not have to tell you that making out with some scale-wearing accomplice is not appropriate!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vincent rolls his eyes and averts his gaze. "I disabled the opponent through non-violent conflict resolution. You're the one who's told me to avoid excessive force." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You also effectively rendered yourself cut off from the situation -- and a potential distraction to everyone else -- for the duration of this little...interaction. But leaving aside the issue of who-knows-what-she-might have done, I would have expected that that public a display of hormones would be beneath your dignity." There's one other issue he hasn't gotten to yet.

	Vincent smiles smugly, seeming momentarily distracted. "She was a very good kisser.. and it's not as if the rest of you were in any way in serious danger from the remaining individuals. All of them were brought into custody after all. I sincerely apologize my... opponent was able to escape after setting off that flash-bang." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff glowers. "Vincent." He sighs. "I should have insisted you wait until you were older -- " He held up a hand quickly "Don't mention how old I was. Hypocrisy's something I can live with; I probably inherited it from Nathaniel. But I should have waited until you were old enough to possibly keep in mind that people can get The Wrong Idea."

Vincent huffed. "I know what I was doing, and I still had complete perception of the entire conflict. What I know I did is remove someone from the conflict who clearly didn't want to inflict any harm on anyone, and talk her down before she did something desperatedon't you dare make a comment." He looked sharply at Kristoff as he realized what he might have set himself up for.

"If I was going to live according to other's expectations I'd still be in Doomstadt wearing plate-mail."

There's a distinct wince there as Kristoff falls silent.

"I worry for you," he says at last. "That's all."
Plenty of Avengers and such had been known to act rashly on mistaken impressions, and anyone with the name 'Amorason' either in cahoots with the villains or using kissing and...such... as a weapon/'persuasion' method would resonate with old experiences and they were all bigger and more experienced than his brother. The superhuman New York 'public' was what worried him most about this little public indecency. Not that he'd been happy about the indecency.

But he can't rant anymore, after that.

Vincent smiles easily. "I know you do. You're my older brother." His last retort stung him a little bit as well, but he had a point to make.

"I'll hurl you into a dimensional rift if you ever tell anyone I said this, but... my actions are based on the assumption that if there's hope for me, there's hope for anyone. I'd... probably be doing terrible things today, if not for you. I just want to give others the same chance." He paused. "Not for this conversation, but I need to talk to you later about getting extra-terrestrials cover identities and citizenship."

He glanced at his watch, trying to seem non-chalant after that confessional.

Kristoff, touched, nods.
He knows Vincent's manner of dealing with such intentions could still be subject to argument, certainly, but Kristoff isn't up for that.
"That shouldn't be hard to arrange. And I'll just leave this at the fact that I hope you don't have quite so much of an audience again, and that you had best not bother Cassandra today."

A pause. A smile. "And not that it is relevant, but for the record, I am fairy certain I could get out of a dimensional rift."
