[ the voice speaks up abruptly, no greeting, no introduction. vincent isn't the most social of people. ]

The limiters from the tournament.. could they be altered for a particular use? If it's possible, I'd like to speak to people with that capability.

[ a pause, and belatedly: ] My name is Vincent Valentine. Thank you for any information.

That's always the question. Is it safe.

[He sighs a bit.]

Well, it's your choice if that's what you want to do. I'm not here to stop you. You could say I was just curious.

[protomateria]

If it's safer for others. [ the last thing he wants to do is lose control here, in this crowded city full of people that can be hurt so easily. ]

.. Why?

[nehraachargers]

I like you. You've got some stuff in your past but that's not going to change me liking you. So I figure if I'm wanting to be your friend I should care about what you do with your life even if it only means knowing what's going on in it.

[protomateria]

[ you don't know me, he almost says and doesn't bother. it's not much different from how cloud and the others had treated him-- even when they hadn't known anything about him. ]

I'm not particularly friendly. [ as if that wasn't apparent. ] Or likable. [ but.. ] .. Thank you.

[nehraachargers]

So I'm making up for that myself. Alright, I can pull that off.

[He chuckles a bit on his end.]

You should let me know if you can get something that works. Could be useful information for others in the future.

[protomateria]

You do appear to be up for the challenge. [ with a name like 'the iron bull' and a personality like that.. ]

If it works for me, there's no guarantee it will work for others. My body is.. unique. I'll let you know, though.

[nehraachargers]

Yeah. I already guessed you were pretty unique with how fast you moved on pure instinct.

[And some other stuff. But you know, that was a big part of it.]

I've known some like that. Aside from you.

[protomateria]

[ that's really just the tip of the iceberg, but.. even as unique as the bull himself is, vincent's not ready to get into that with him. ]

Have you? .. From home?

[nehraachargers]

Yep. Though I'm getting the feeling whatever is going on with you is probably not along the lines of a demon or a spirit.

[But he's not counting it out yet. With this guy's behaviors though? Gotta be along those lines. Especially with how he's worried about being unable to control it.]
