If Vince was in Fallout he could end up being an Old World, Vault-Tec or Institute experiment leftover/escapee.

The day of Rebirth is imminent. The zombie cyborg man will rise again.

"Playing it safe isn't entirely out of my wheelhouse, but I get what you mean." Truthfully, there was a little part of Devil that would've preferred to wait on it, to get his bearings, maybe to make peace with the possibility of what he was going to witness.

He was a brave man up until he very much wasn't.

Devil leaned back, sinking deep into his chair. His eyelids lowered as a finger tapped against his scarred lips. "We should keep it small. Just us, maybe an extraction team just in case."

His tone was distracted, offhanded. "How's the tiramisu?"

[nightmarebeginning]

Vincent remained silent as the mutant considered things. Personally he knew he would never be able to prepare himself for anything he'd find in a laboratory no matter how much time would elapse and so he simply shoved any potential feelings under a rock. Or perhaps he was still too emotionally numb.

"I trust your judgement." He questioned much in regards to his friend's judgement but in tactics he bowed to Devil's expertise. "You know it's easier to find a group rather than two. I would prefer to remain free."

At the offhand question he shrugged. He still somewhat struggled with determining taste being good or bad. "... comforting." He finally answered.

[aamusedly]

"That's not a hobby. It's a lifestyle."

[nightmarebeginning]

"I can't argue with that."

"I won't know until I see it myself," Devil hummed as he leaned further into his chair. A hand sat absently on the lip of his coffee mug, thin leather tapping a pattern into ceramic. His lips parted to offer some more wisdom, but a knock on the door interrupted him.

"Thank you," the mercenary beamed as one of the servers brought in a fat square of tiramisu. She set it in front of Vincent, and blew a little kiss to Devil before she escaped.

His expression immediately dropped back to serious. "...Would you advise we wait until tomorrow to make sure they're not alerted? Or should we head out tonight before they can regroup?"

[nightmarebeginning]

He nodded to the waitress ignoring the flirtation, used to it by now and uncaring. What business was it of his? Considering the question, Vincent took a bite of the dessert. It was clear it was more out of habit rather than any desire for it as his thoughts lingered elsewhere.

"I don't believe they knew I was there." He finally said. "They gave no indication that they knew that anyone was watching and I left as soon as I confirmed where they had emerged from." Devil knew that few ordinary humans could hear the gunslinger unless he made an effort to be heard and in the dark he tended to blend in.

His gaze returned to the mutant. "I don't think waiting will provide any advantage this time and will probably only give them the opportunity to find any watcher that you send to verify. I suggest we move tonight."

And moving early would make the situation less stressful on both of them if the place was a center for human experimentation.
