You don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. Just focus on her for now.
[Noé's done more than enough of a job babysitting him, he feels. Better he turn his attention to Dominique so that she'll have an easier time getting settled in and adjusting to their new way of life here as Augmented. It isn't easy for any of them, after all. He can't imagine it'll be different for her.]
if you say so. but you know i'm still here if you need.
[Don't go doing something stupid and reckless just because he is distracted with Dominique showing up! Basically. Still, he does want to do his best to support her through adjusting to this place, their new souls and all. So he isn't about to argue on that.]
[He absolutely is going to do something stupid and reckless, because that's just how Vanitas operates: with impunity. Just so long as Noé stays out of trouble, then it's fiiiine. He's the one who needs to behave, clearly.
[What had he done? He's trying to recall now. Unsure if it is that he was trying to remind and reassure Vanitas that he was still here for him just now or something else. It isn't like Vanitas says it often. Noé will have to be more mindful of things now, in having Dominique to take into account here, too. Not that it will entirely stop him being reckless, but it might factor in sometimes. Hopefully.]
[If Noé doesn't realize it's thanks for him caring, then Vanitas isn't about to fill him in on that. It's too damn embarrassing! Besides, he said what he needed to say, and that's the end of that, plain and simple!]
oh? okay, if you say so. but anyway, i'm on my way with domi, so i'll see you all soon!
[He shrugs it off easily enough. He's far more distracted with Domi showing up and focusing on her anyway. It isn't hard for him to get distracted from wondering what Vanitas had meant. Luckily.]
