Damn, I needed to think this one over, so good call . . . Just is a difficult person to really piece out where he "belongs"! Vincent can't figure out what "use" he serves, so he gets a little vexed on how to treat him and what to do with Just. That isn't to say that Vincent minds him, but it's hard to for him to really play the part when he isn't sure what part exactly he should be playing. So, Vincent gets a little wishy-washy around Just; his blade isn't sharp and on point, basically.
See, he appreciates the nature of Just's character. Like I've said before, they could form a great working relationship! But Vincent is shy to really lean on anyone after dealing with Echo and Leo who were less than exemplary right-hand people. He prefers to rely on himself and that has only been solidified with experience. Still, it's a waste to not keep him around for that ~particular occasion~ when Just would be the right tool for the job. They have a good understanding of each other which makes thing everything easier, rather than another piece that Vincent would have to work over in another manner . . .
On the other hand, Just is a calculated risk. Just will get himself into trouble; Vincent knows from a mile away that Just will do something stupid at some point. It's just how Aather and people of his caliber work! So, he wants to keep an appropriate distance from that incident. He doesn't want to be involved, nor does he want people coming at him like, "Why didn't you prevent this from happening if you knew?!" Not that many people would, but Vincent plans for all eventualities . . . He likes to lead an easy life, okay. :'( Even hanging around Just, Vincent knows that will act as a huge tip-off on himself to people who keep a close watch on him, simply because Vincent around anyone is suspicious.
So, yes, Just is a hard character to slot in, and Vincent won't get on the ball with him, per se. But I am going to mull over the potential uses of him after this shower. I've been on a good evil plotting kick, so I might be able to figure out whether Vincent has something for him . . . Or if he'll keep his cards to his vest and play the established game already.
Hit me back, and did I finish that quest? I did, didn't I? Do you remember what it was for . . . ?
