I think . . . He just wanted to pierce his ears . . . Like Vincent didn't mind the tattoo game at all. (And is still upset Iolite lost it, what the hell.) So, he was like this and that are pretty close together, and he wanted to see how that would roll with Yuri. Really, he did enjoy getting pierce Yuri's ears. It was a different form of intimacy which works pretty well with him, and . . . Well, Vincent has a penchant for displays and beauty, okay. He knew Yuri would like goddamn beautiful with earrings, so he could try, whatever.

Oh, it was an apology too! That was after he got a little unlevel at Yuri for visiting Peridot, and was his own way of making amends for that episode. Really, that was more internal than Vincent knowing that Yuri would understand the logic at all, but he was sort of making himself feel better about doing that when he was stupidly stuck with Yuri and didn't realize it.


Gosh, I would like to ask more about Yuri in Vincent's heart game, but Spitfire got that. Uhh, what does Yuri think about what he's getting from his memories and second-hand info? Not cool with himself or his world . . . ?
