★ Vincent is slowly realizing that Oz will take Gilbert from him, and he's walking the fine line between being alright with that . . . And punching Oz in the goddamn mouth. ♥ At first, Vincent suspected that Oz might have Gilbert's best intentions at heart when it came to Vincent, so they shared the same relationship from a distance. The fact that they can't draw a line between them and make Gilbert choose one or the other. However, the last thread really highlighted for Vincent that Oz didn't feel that way! And if he had, then his feelings had certainly changed on the matter. In all likelihood, Vincent will back off long before the situation would ever escalate that far, because he loves Gilbert too much to make it happen. Still, Oz is a fucker, and Vincent is starting to foster a true, well-founded hatred for him.

★ Persephone doesn't have any deep feelings for Flynn. He's useful, nice, and sweet! She's rather unabashedly alright with using people who seem willing to go the whole nature route with her, and he seems to be alright with doing the work. So, it's a good working relationship.

★ Serah appreciates Flynn a little more now. She understands why people get riled up about him, but she also gets that he is trying to do what he thinks is best in his own way. It's not a hard situation to understand for her. Still, she doesn't feel comfortable or secure in herself with him, so she keeps up a certain barrier. It's not out of dislike or anything like that, Serah just has trouble feeling being open with people without knowing where she stands. And Flynn sort of bulldozes on his way without needing that much support, so she's happy to let him go and do his own thing.

And reverse.
