He'd been scouting the area watching in silence all of the happenings around him. There was a child version of Cloud that was apparently extremely devoted to Jenova, if that weren't bad enough there as also another version of Nero around that was capable of killing everything that got close to him. Neither of these boded well to Vincent at all.
The one good thing his travels had brought him to was a very familiar church with a very familiar person inside. Though that in itself posed all sorts of problems. Yuffie had taken it pretty hard when Aerith had died, she had been so young then. How would this older version react if he was to tell her that he had found a version of their friend still alive after all this time.
Should he even say anything at all? If he didn't and Yuffie found out, she would be impossible to live with for days, he knew. Still... telling her might upset her. This is why he tried to avoid getting involved with women... they were really just too damn confusing.
Sliding from behind the shadows of buildings he entered the pagoda via the window of his room, rather than use the front door, as to keep his whereabouts to the outside world hidden. Slipping inside he reclosed the window in an effort to make it look like he hadn't left the pagoda early that morning at all. If he was lucky Yuffie would think he'd been in his room brooding all day, and not have bothered coming in. If he was unlucky, then he'd get twenty questions in order to make him talk and tell her where he had been.
