[he grumbles sullenly, ill-humor completely derived from the aspersions cast upon his character and not the fact that he was totally just going to stay out of sight if at all possible. nope, not him. that would be stupid.
even so, he remains as close to 'out of sight' as could be possibly while still remaining visible. Vincent quietly steps back and out of his companion's way, allowing him uninhibited access to his foster mother while he took the time to draw the curtains shut once more. this wasn't a scene meant for unrelated eyes.
if he was being honest with himself, that ought to include him as well.
instead Vincent remains trapped in a private moment he had no right to bear witness to. the other boy may express himself more openly around him, but he'd never seen his face so raw. it felt like a violation to watch, an emotion that he isn't used to harboring. a hostile environment he could deal with - but to simply know he had no place here...it pressed down hard against his shoulders.
a soft huff of air escapes him when Aria makes her transparent request. the woman could try however hard as she liked, but he knew already that this was a lost cause. Kit was too much of a martyr to simply let this fade into the past.]
