Vincent apparently holds a mid level -that is, not low but not quite high either- rank amongst the City Patrol and is quite chummy with some of the high ranking officers. He sent off the other two patrolmen who showed up with him earlier while he escorted us around a few more places.

"It was quite nice getting to know you Ms, Sara." He holds Sara's hand while sporting a warm and yet sad look on his face.

I click my tongue at his flirtatious antics.

"And you too of course, Little Vivian." He adds while patting my head. All the while he has been escorting us, he has been trying to flirt with Sara while also trying to get in my -her supposed little sister's- good books. He bought me candy! Pastries too but... CANDY!!! And not the good kind that has enough -sugar and/or alcohol- but the one for babies no older than three years old.
