[nerine]

Mm... Let me correct myself. We found each other.

[Monts pokes at her pie with her fork, looking contemplative.]

... In a cave. Somewhere on a beach. I was little, so I wouldn't have known any better.

[bloodvials]

And what happened after you... ah, met?

[Nothing good, he wants to say. But he leashes his tongue.]

[nerine]

To put it bluntly we share my body. It's not an ideal state of being, but considering I'm alive and still myself to an extent I'd say I turned out fine.

[bloodvials]

[Vincent's a little confused now, getting mixed signals from all of this.]

So... you don't mind sharing a body with such a creature? Or you merely tolerate it?

[nerine]

[She's almost always disturbingly nonchalant, so it does it give off mixed signals. ]

I would say resigned. Tolerate is a good way to put it too.

[bloodvials]

[Vincent, who's been through countless horrors in the past night, can only see that as... sorrowful. Its own form of imprisonment, maddeningly inescapable. And her resignation to her fate only seems to accentuate this in his eyes.]

I'm sorry. It must be terrible.

[nerine]

Oh, it's nothing to be sorry about. Life just throws curveballs at you that way!

[Monts smiles brightly at Vincent.]

And you just need to learn to catch as many as you can.

[bloodvials]

Curve... balls?

[What's a curveball.]

You're oddly cheery for someone in your situation. Or do people mention that to you all the time?

[nerine]

Oh, I definitely get that all the time. Being cheery helps diffuse a lot of situations, believe it or not.

[bloodvials]

Perhaps so. [A clear pause, and his fork clinks against his plate once more.] Though I imagine, depending upon the trials you've set yourself upon, you're allowed to feel more than just "cheery". One deserves a few negative emotions, after awhile.

[nerine]

[What he says gives her pause. Her "trials" were...

Another frown. It's rather unbecoming of one such as Monts because showing any negativity revealed too much about herself, at least in her opinion.]

Even if I deserve them, I don't really want them.

[Every once and a while, there's that bile that surfaces when she remembers that sensation of dying and being dead, but then being pulled backwards into life again.

To say she's bitter is probably the least of it.]

But that's neither here nor there. What do you think you're going to do once you step outside our door?

[bloodvials]

[He would have more to say on the matter, if not for the fact that Vincent quietly reminds himself that it really isn't any of his business. He's only just met the girl.]

Ah... [He glances over his shoulder, looking back at the door that brought him here. Uncertainty practically radiates off of him.] I wish I could say for certain. I only know that this is not my body -- or at least, not my body any more -- and going back into the world as I am now will be strange. Yet familiar at the same time. Does that make sense to you?

[nerine]

[Monts purses her lips and then waves her hand, trying to gesture to show that... Kinda? This is confusing!]

You're losing me here Vincent, not gonna lie. You are and aren't yourself?

[bloodvials]

[He looks at her, chewing as his bottom lip without realizing it. Suddenly he's unsure if he should say anything, that human doubt creeping back into his stomach as if he hadn't lost it in the first place.]

That is, I mean to say... [He clears his throat.] I was human not that long ago, back in Yharnam. And Yharnam was the same place I lost that humanity, giving it up for... something more. Unexplainable. Eldritch, some would say.

[For some reason, all of that sounds like a swath of Bad Decisions made in a single night, when he says it all out loud.]

And that's what I'm supposed to be, now. Until I awoke again, in my old body, and found this place. And I'm not sure... which one is right, not any longer. I feel caught between two worlds, two realities.

[nerine]

[Monts crosses her arms and furrows her brows.]

... Guess we won't be much help in that regard. When you leave you'll go back to the place you entered from.

I'm not sure what that says about what your form will be like when you return.

[bloodvials]

[He shakes his head.]

I was human again when I saw the door. I imagine the same will be true when I leave.

[He manages to huff out a laugh, dry as it is.]

Otherwise we may have a few issues on our hands.

[nerine]

True! If you became a monster on the way out, Oren and I would have to get out the pans to beat you up with.

[bloodvials]

[He's not offended, but seems vaguely amused.]

You'd beat a child? Shame on you.

[nerine]

We don't take our chances.

I hope being able to find this place and rest up made you feel better though. I really do.

[bloodvials]

Ah... thank you.

[He looks down at his hands for a second, fingers fidgeting. His very human fingers.]

It has helped, a bit. Quite appreciated.

[nerine]

Mm.

[She tilts her head and gives a... Suggestive smile. ]

And if you feel like you're about to slip away from being human, you can always think of me when you look for our door. I wouldn't mind.

[bloodvials]

[Looking back up, he sees that smile and... totally doesn't know what to do with it.]

Er... [Except maybe give a nervous laugh? MONTS???] A woman pulling a man away from the edge of becoming an abomination? Seems a bit trite, don't you think?

[nerine]

[She knows EXACTLY what she's doing and just goes with the flow.]

As they say here on our side? It's a tale as old as time.

[bloodvials]

Do they? [He raises a brow.] Well, fairy tales and reality are very different things from one another, if you'd allow me to be so bold to say.

[nerine]

Reality is but a narrow path that happens to run parallel to other ones. I should know.

[The Grind is supposedly a fixed point that lets other realities enter into it.]

Would you be against seeing me again though?

[monts why must you corner people like this]
