Good. That's what I want.

Would you mind teaching me how? I can pay you back however you want.

Have you ever done meditation before? That's sort of the first step.

And you know Valentine, right? I need a gift for him, and I'd love insider information about what he'd like.

[nimbuster]

Meditation? Nope.

Mm, I know Vincent about as well as anybody could, I think. Not an easy guy to shop for, but I'll do my best. What's the occasion?

[deuceoftears]

He is that rarest of creatures, a level-headed and competent colleague, whom I can trust to be professional even in emotionally fraught situations.

I'd like to show my appreciation, and he's about as good at taking a compliment as anybody else on this boat.

[Which is to say, terrible.]

[nimbuster]

Yup, that's Vincent.

[On all counts.

Cloud hums quietly in thought.]

He likes wine and guns. His tastes are kinda...old-fashioned, with a macabre slant? He was sleeping in a coffin when I met him. [A beat.] That coffin's in his cabin now.

It's good to know yourself.

That's very helpful, thank you.

Would you like to meet in the Enclosure for ambiance or in a private cabin for security?
