[supersoldier]

[Isn’t that nice, the application of two stubborn personalities— whose will falter first, or will this just an exercise in futility... and also a trashfire in the making.]

Being upfront makes you seem less unfavorable than sticking to an obvious lie.

wb to the land of the living

[lapses]

[ let's go with the latter.

but at least sephiroth got him to turn back around to face him. ]

Then it's a good thing I'm not here to seek your favor.

[supersoldier]

[He is already getting the impression that this man is a stubborn one, that or purposefully obtuse. It's too early to tell which, as disinclined as he (they both are) to speak and explain.]

Who are you?

[How about they (re)start with that.]

[lapses]

Introduce yourself first.

[ isn't it impolite to ask someone who they are without doing as much yourself? ]

[supersoldier]

[His lips twitch into a frown. It is not so much pride or impoliteness (though maybe a tinge of the former), but how foreign it is to Sephiroth -- for those to not know his name or face upon first glance, for recognition to not sweep through an individual automatically thanks to Shinra's endless marketing push back on Gaia.

It lends to this being an even more alien place that he's comfortable with. A newness that he's not sure he will be able to adjust to.]

...My name is Sephiroth. [There, happy?] Is that introduction enough for you?

[lapses]

[ he seems satisfied by his answer — or at least as satisfied as someone whose features never deter from impassiveness can be. ]

Vincent. [ there's no harm in telling him his name, no risk of recognition. ]

[supersoldier]

[Indeed, it's not a name that he would attach an association to. It's debatable that Vincent Valentine would have even sparked any recognition; not that Sephiroth is granted even that much of a name in the other man's unaffected nature.]

So then what are you doing here, Vincent?

[The beach offers nothing to the wayward travelers, only a stretch of sand and a view that glimmers beneath the burden of the sun. Of course, that does make one wonder why Sephiroth has deigned to travel this way, too.]

[lapses]

Same as you are.

[ he looks out past the sandy shore towards the seemingly endless expanse of sea water. it's certainly a breathtaking view, yet its beauty is unfortunately dimmed by the company in question. ]

Exploring. [ last he checked, sephiroth didn't own the beach. ]
