[Vincent is actually looking fairly cheery for once, in a genuine way, not the sort of cutting way that if anyone came too close they be sliced that some may be more familiar with. If anything it's a change, but not a complete metamorphosis from, the man hinging on the edge of insanity a few months before.]

It's a nice day isn't it? Spring will be here any day now and new possibilities will follow in on the fair weather I'm sure. I for one am changing my residence. I will be found at the Phantomhive-Trancy estate for those who wish to visit me.

[It may be significant for some Vincent is returning to the place whose lord defended him during his killing spree in the summer. If Vincent is aware his words may be taken as a subtle taunt, he's not showing it at all beyond that smirk that's always waiting to uncurl from the corners of his mouth.]

Ah! But I do have one more thing to share. As only one more thing could make this day more radiant-- my older brother's smile.

[Viewers may click on this link for an attached .jpg that is indeed of one Gilbert Nightray smiling (and Vincent apparently knows what photoshop is).

And yes Gil, this is about the damned cake. B(]

I do hope everyone is as happy as I am.

[And after that simpering comment the feed cuts.]

Is that why you're coming back?

[cruelties]

Gilbert was quite insistent that I do, no matter what I had done.

[motioned]

[She's honestly shocked, enough so that she doesn't speak for a moment.]

He did?

video;

[cruelties]

Gilbert loves me too.

video;

[motioned]

A-Ah, I wasn't trying to say he doesn't!

video;

[cruelties]

That is the explanation for why he asked me back. He loves me. That is all.

[A beat.]

Wait no, there is some guilt in it too. [He laughs softly, as if he's just made a joke. Perhaps he has.]

[motioned]

What do you mean, guilt?

video;

[cruelties]

You don't know Gilbert very well do you?

[lololololololololol--]

video;

[motioned]

Of course I do, he's my father! But... He didn't have any reason to be guilty.

[Congratulations Ahiru you just broke Vincent's brain.]

[cruelties]

[Father? Father, father, father, father-- the word father and Gilbert are not inclusive. They should be like oil and water.]

[cruelties]

[How--. Gilbert is needy. Gilbert however is a servant, not a parent. Why did this occur? How did it occur?]

video;

[cruelties]

[Vincent exhales and gives Ahiru the largest shit-eating grin imaginable.]

Ah, but parent is a role, like any other. Gilbert and father, are not the same thing.

video;

[motioned]

Maybe it is a role, but that's what I call him! That's how important he is to me.

[cruelties]

Good for you. [It’s condescending but Vincent manages to keep outright bitterness out of his tone.] But your feelings change nothing; is it enough for you that you don’t see all of him?

video;

[motioned]

[She pauses.]

It's fine if there's stuff he doesn't want to tell me. I know he's a really good person, so I trust him enough to know there must be a reason for it.

video;

[cruelties]

I see you will be a fine sort of daughter. One that never asks questions.

video;

[motioned]

I didn't say I would never ask questions!

video;

[cruelties]

But you are so accepting.

video;

[motioned]

Yeah, because I trust him no matter what!

video;

[cruelties]

What has Gilbert done to earn such loyalty?

video;

[motioned]

Well, he's always been there for me! And even if he doesn't really think so, he's an amazing person.

video;

[cruelties]

[Well he will agree to that.]

Well then let me welcome you to our family, Miss Ahiru.

video;

[motioned]

...Thank you, sir.

[cruelties]

I'm sure you'll be a wonderful addition.
