I can give you a gun and tranquilizer rounds. They're effective.
[ No he's not kidding. Vincent speaks with the tone of someone who has put it into action before with the individual in question. When did he do that? ]
She's a fairly average human. But she possesses some psychic abilities. Some foresight, probably visions. Especially if she's in contact with you, she might be able to read you. Katie will use anything she can as a weapon. Even words. I don't know how she'll perceive your gifts.
But she's also a kid. It's not like she can't be talked to.
I've been practicing shooting a bit. I'll borrow it for the meantime, if that's okay.
[She had known they had been paired together but...it sounded like Katie had done some damage. Jeez. She considered this, and blew out a breath. That meant that Katie was going to get a rise out of her, try to get her way.
That wasn't going to happen.]
It's hard to know. But if I have to knock her out, I'm going into a dream with her to talk to her about it.
She might be a kid...but I'm not going to let her control me. Whatever she reads from me-I'm not going to let her upset me.
Thanks. I mean- I'd like to use the tranqs before it goes that far. And I'd like to figure out the best punishment, rather than have people dog piling on her.
[Though his grim humor has her laugh quietly.]
I'm sure there's more. But those three would be the quickest and most brutal.
Thrawn might turn her into paste with his bare hands, but I'm not sure how he'd react, exactly. He can be unpredictable.
[Cloud and Collins...are more predictable in knowing they'd be fast and ready to give Katie a beat down. And the rest...she has no idea.]
But speaking of the gun- you don't think it'll be too heavy for me?
[ To support Cloud. Vincent is more than capable of coming out of his shell for the sake of his friends. ]
Good. For non lethal rounds you don't need a heavy weapon. Small and accurate is more than enough. I have a couple models. If they're too heavy we can make a request.
[ And the Enclosure is a great place to try out options. ]
If you want, I can spare time. For rifles and shotguns.
[ Though probably a bit excessive for the current purpose. ]

[She's taking Vincent seriously. If this girl is that bad...]
Should I ask for a weapon from the Admiral, to keep myself safe?

Just- one favor, if she ends up killing me?
no subject
[ Sometimes it's just better to put Katie down temporarily. And Aerith would have the answer of what Vincent had to do. ]
Want me to protect her?
[ From revenge. Vincent... is making a guess. It may or may not be a good one. He certainly doesn't sound surprised not angry at being asked. ]
no subject
Especially from Cloud...or Dennis Collins.
[A beat.]
Maybe Thrawn.
no subject
[ Vincent is sincere. Whatever his personal feelings, he'll keep his promise. ]
Only those three?
[ Yeah, there's some grim humor there. He knows how many people are fond of Aerith. He doubts it'll only be three that are up in arms. ]

[ You know. The kind you don't want someone else to punch Katie into paste over.
Vincent doesn't have any argument against Aerith's evaluation of the two three most likely to act viciously and quick. Therefore he moves on. ]
I've got a collection. You can come over when you have a minute. What have you been practicing with?
[ Vincent. Vincent you need to be careful. You actually sounded enthusiastic there a moment, almost. ]
no subject
[Since Cloud needs the emotional support and unlikely to seek it out.]
As for what guns- revolvers and pistols. Handguns. But I've been hoping to learn how to use rifles and shotguns.

[She knew she could count on Vincent to make sure Cloud was okay. As for the guns...she laughed quietly.]
Okay. I've been working out, so maybe I should be okay? But we'll play with big guns later.
I think I need to come over and track Katie down.

[ He and his armory will be waiting. ]

[Time to get armed and ready to rumble.]
