...Yuffie. How's your head?

Characters: Vincent Valentine and Yuffie Kisaragi
Progress: Incomplete
Summary: Upon Yuffie’s arrival in Wutai.
Location: Wutai
Date: Late March, 1804.
Warnings: Not in a public place!

Not that Sephiroth had been moved away to Lindblum, there was little left for Vincent to do in Wutai, and he was feeling restless because of it. He wanted to go to Lindblum to check on Sephiroth and Genesis. He wanted to finally have that match with Cloud, in order to figure out what was going on with the unusually silent Chaos. He wanted to talk to Shelke and Cid, who he hadn’t spoken face to face with even when he had stayed briefly with Cloud and Tifa. He wouldn’t leave, though, because he had told Yuffie that he would meet her in Wutai. She was about to take control of the island country, and even if Yuffie tried his patience most of the time, he wasn’t going to leave during something like that.

So, in order to appease his wanderlust, Vincent had taken to walking around the town, as he was doing now. It didn’t do much to get rid of the feeling of being tied down, but it was something to do instead of leaving. The locals had gotten used to seeing him around, at this point, and mostly ignored him, and he paid little attention to them in turn. Instead, his attention was mostly turned inward, on his thoughts. As counterintuitive as it would usually seem, he hoped that Yuffie arrived soon.

"If you listen to what the people want, you should be all right. Try to be the things that Shinra was not, if that helps." In truth, Vincent probably wasn't the best person to give advice about being a leader, but Cloud or Reeve weren't near to give any advice. A general "don't be stupid" was better than nothing, anyway.

"No one will mind if you ask for help, either. AVALANCHE, or the other leaders on this world."

"Of course I'm not going to do that things ShinRa did! That's just... given!" She said immediately. Nor was she going to give in as easily as her father did when the war was lost. Wutai would not be a tourist attraction for ShinRa executives or random royalty.

"I just... I don't wanna suck. I want to be a good leader. I want to make everyone here happy." Not to mention she wanted to prove she could do something like this and not fail at it, and not be considered just a teenager with a habit of stealing things.

End it here, I guess?

"You will do fine, Yuffie." Vincent had never been the best with giving reassurances, and it was showing. He wasn't sure what exactly to say to the young ruler, so he simply lapsed back into silence for the rest of the short trip back to the pagoda.

When they arrived, several people came out of the building towards them, apparently recognizing Yuffie from her posts to the mooglenet. Vincent didn't disappear yet, but he did draw back, clearly not intent on staying.

Sure!

Yuffie didn't add to the silence either. She walked quietly, thinking. If Vincent said she'd do a good job, she would, right? She would.

Stopping at the steps up to the Pagoda, Yuffie turned towards her friend, giving him one of her trademark smiles. "You better come and visit soon!"

Without waiting for an answer, she, along with the others, went back inside. She had business to do.
