You..?! Why--

[Wait a minute, but-- Wasn't Elliot..?] I did talk to that man, yes.

[And he didn't like it.]

So...[He reaches for the back of Elliot's neck, to force him to look into his face.] I want Gilbert to keep his smile, even if I'm gone.

Vincent--..

[Elliot continued to stare for a moment. This wasn't making sense to him. His voice got quiet.]

Humpty-Dumpty is gone. What are you talking about?

[Action]

I am talking about that noble young men should not sacrifice themselves for dregs like me. [He laughs softly.] Let me break this contract.

[Action]

[ferventknight.livejournal.com]

I'll sacrifice what I want, understand me?! [Elliot was already irritated thanks to Norman, this didn't help one bit.] I swore that I would stop the Head Hunter on my own. Now that Humpty Dumpty is put to rest, I'm not letting you do anything like that!

What do you remember about Humpty-Dumpty's contract?

[Action]

[ferventknight.livejournal.com]

Hardly anything. It continued to remove the memories from when it had come out. But because of who I have recently agreed to a contract with, it showed me what I had done exactly.

It showed me Vanessa.. Claude and Ernest. When I did contract with Humpty Dumpty to save my life and then the killings it had done while here. Why is that important to you?

To warn you to not confess. [He puts a hand on his shoulder.] I know you're mad at Gil, but trust him. He...cherishes both of us really. I know you don't think so, but he does.

[Vincent's smile is weak and brittle, but genuine. If only it was different, if only I could take on all these sins...]

[Elliot took a moment to respond before looking into those mismatched eyes.]

If you say he cherishes us both, then you should stop sounding like you're about to do something extremely stupid, Vincent.

[Action]

[viciousbinds.livejournal.com]

[He can't help but to grin at that.]

My, my, will you scold me about that too? Gilbert already wrung me out, don't worry.

[Family is family. You have to hang onto what you can when things get rough-- or so Elliot had thought. Even if Vincent wasn't someone Elliot had personally liked and connected with, he was still family! And--!]

What are you going to do, Vincent?!

[Action]

[viciousbinds.livejournal.com]

Nothing really. [Because he's already done it. He waves his hand.] Don't get so upset, right now there are greater things to worry about.

[Action]

[ferventknight.livejournal.com]

[Telling Elliot not to get upset is like telling Ciel not to eat cake, okay?]

And that would be?!

[Action]

[viciousbinds.livejournal.com]

Your own contract.

[Action]

[ferventknight.livejournal.com]

You don't need to be involved.

[Vincent knows a stone wall when he runs into one. Well, he is infinitely patient, and inclined to let things come his way. He inclines his head.]

I am only concerned.

[But he'll let Elliot have his way, for now.]

[Action]

[ferventknight.livejournal.com]

Concerned? It was my choice. You don't need to be, Vincent. [Plus, Elliot didn't necessarily like the way Vincent was 'concerned'.]

[Action]

[viciousbinds.livejournal.com]

Mine as well. [He heads for the door.]
