Aww, man, you're asking for me to remember a lot there . . . Umm, I can try!!
So, like I said, Vincent was a bit closed off when it came to new Iolites. He's learned from past experiences to let them sit down and settle themselves without any influence before he starts to figure out where they fit into the team. He took advantage of Spitfire when he first arrived and that blew up spectacularly. Then, Hibari was always a conscious threat . . . Once burned, twice shy!
In this way, Vincent ended up being rather wary of Kamui. He already proved that his personality was still highly malleable by shifting from vitriolic to something altogether more passive. (And Vincent can appreciate the need to put on airs, more on that later.) Still, without trying, Kamui managed to win Vincent over by being such a genuinely thoughtful and caring person, someone who loved without reservation or a thought to his own well-being. Vincent is an asshole who will use that sort of behavior without any regard, and he has already thought of it!, but he is also endeared by people who can be caring towards someone else, especially when they have the force of experience that does make them wary of getting slighted.
Noteee: Obsidian came to Aather and was wary, then he was won over by Yuta giving him his name and Vincent offering him food. Then, he was completely smitten with his team. So, the parallels were rather strong there. And considering how strongly Vincent feels towards Obsidian, any parallels with him is a marked favor . . .
T-The game with Mother only compounded it all. While Vincent loathes Mother, the timing of that game worked completely in Kamui's favor. There are a lot of factors involved, but the gist is: 1. Vincent was mad that Yuri went to the game, so he was feeling slighted in that regard which meant he pulled for something else to focus into. Ta-da, there were new Iolites~! 2. It strongly established the relationship between Vincent as having power and Kamui being a less able and capable member. Not that Kamui hasn't done make that point strongly on his own, but having it put into clear perspective like that makes Vincent more comfortable to initiate a relationship. He likes his dominance, okay.
So, the shift was marked! Vincent has been reeling back his more questionable behaviors because of a tussle with Gil, but he was more physically affectionate, open and comforting to Kamui without reservation. He doesn't talk in games or confusing pattens as much, while being more patient and likely to explain in an understandable manner. If Vincent gives Kamui any more favors, it will likely be where he uses Kamui and his logic as a place to touch ground with like he does Obsidian . . . But that may be some time coming. Still, Kamui ranks pretty high in Vincent's list, atm.
AND THAT IS TEAM WINE . . . Vincent can get booze whenever he wants, cough. And pillows. ////////
