Too redolent of the sapphire/amethyst/whatever orbs...
Yeeks! *throws holy water at the word 'orbs' when used for anything other than spirit-lights*
You know, I usually don't do the eye color thing, but here I was going for a little reminder that both Vincent and Chaos are distinctly removed from conventional humanity, and Vincent knows this. I also wanted to lend a slight sense of disconnection to the moment: Vincent as observer of himself outside of himself, thanks to the weirdness of Nero's dark.
“I never intended to imprison you.”
“You never offered to set me free.”
Scarlet eyes meet gold, and Vincent nods.
It's like he's watching this discussion from the sidelines and finally understands something very very basic about his relationship with Chaos.
Also, just why does Chaos wish it had known Vincent better? Does it admire his calmness and strength? Or what?
*smiles for Chaos and Vincent here* Of all the people Chaos could have been stuck with, Vincent is one of a very few who would ever willingly release him. Imagine the horror of Chaos' existence if Hojo had kept him for himself, or put him into the alien-hybrid-mess that would become Sephiroth. Because Vincent is honorable, Chaos is happier for knowing him, however fleetingly.
So terse, but it says so much.
Thank you! I try to make my words work as hard as possible, and less is so often more. ^____^
