Telling him this is out of the question, which is why you're telling me this?

[bravers]

More or less.

[It might also be because Vincent is one of the more reasonable people he knows. Bouncing the idea off him means it won't go further, either.]

[afterform]

How do you imagine this scenario playing out?

[bravers]

With a point made.

[Or a black eye. Won't last more than a couple hours. But.]

How does it sound it'll go?

[afterform]

Like it would escalate.

Depends on your partner, however. Maybe they wouldn't be able to withstand the pain reciprocated.

[bravers]

[A black eye then.]

Could always break things off. Would save a lot of trouble.

[It's that simple.]

[ Cloud, no. Vincent is a moment before he responds. He wonders when Cloud will ever feel comfortable voicing his needs - especially someone he allows deep enough to sleep with. Or was it not that deep to begin with? ]

There is more trouble than your partner pulling your hair?

[bravers]

No. It's not like that. It's just annoying.

[He's got itches that need scratching. But that's it. He wouldn't dream of sleeping with any of their group. That's just... no. But this, this is elsewhere. Detached, removed, and far away- and as such, he's not particularly close with any partner.]

Setting ground rules might make things more comfortable again.

[ It was probably already out of the question but.. Vincent would try anyway. ]
