Vincent continued to stare down the man before him unflinching at the knife to his throat. He realized what had been irritating him so much, or a detail of the argument anyway. Vincent was apparently fighting for the rich and the privileged alone while Ryu was fighting for equality for all. Value not based on wealth... Vincent groaned. He was a farm boy, and still not rich since becoming a mercenary, despite all his efforts.
Vincent did not want to preserve the world as it was now, but he did not want to baptize it in flames to change it either. "So long as you seek to destroy and let others rebuild in your place the world will change but you will have no say. I will stand in the light with the others and I will make this world better myself if need be and I will stand so close to it my shadow will be the one you hide within." He looked down at the knife and shook his head sadly. "And when you grow weary of remaining in my shadow then join me in the light and help make the world the fair Utopia you dream of."
Vincent took a single step back and turned away from Ryu. The sun shone on him as he looked at the sky with his form casting a shadow back. "The price of my dream is paid again and again, with my body, and the lives of my friends alike. I suspect it will claim me before the end." He shrugged his shoulders. He began to return to his cart, knowing he needed to tend his wounds and finish his work before nightfall. "I will pay the price for my dream Ryu, as I know you will as well, but when your dream is reality, who will you become? When can you put down your blades? Or have you not thought that far ahead?" He would give the assassin time to answer if he would, but he needed to move, and he wanted Ryuzaki to have time to think.
