[Kit's frown softened, transforming slowly into a smile that mirrored the fondness Vincent's voice only hinted at.]
I would invite you to try, but I must return to Green Valley soon. Some of us have places to be where bleeding out would be a terrible inconvenience.
[He shouldn't have to nod at his own uniform to provide a clue as to the meaning of his words, Vincent was sharp enough to connect the dots on his own. And while he did so, Kit was free to continue contemplating their strange relationship. How could two people who seemed so close also be so volatile?
The answer, he supposed, was much simpler than the question might have implied. Kurama was a demon. Hiei was a demon, too. Their entire existence was turbulent in nature, wrought with savagery and bloodshed. It would be much more surprising if they'd ever managed to form any lasting bonds without conflict to pave the way.
If nothing else, it explained the reason for his and Vincent's ability to completely and repeatedly devastate one another and still enjoy moments like this, of seeming peace and pleasantness. Perhaps it was even because of that brutality that these glimpses of calm in between were so satisfyingly ripe.]
You'll forgive me if I postpone our fight for another day, I hope?
