Whatever, whatever. I didn't do one last month, and AJ said to. So, question meme for Vincent and CC. That is an awesome color scheme.

Last but not least is Inara which is the hardest one to place. She is another one that balances emotion and logic well, but she also enters into Vincent's realm of social manipulation, almost abrasively so. More clearly than anyone else on the team, Vincent understands that he could come into clear conflict with her which doesn't benefit the team in the least. So, he keeps his distance, plays nice, and tries not to undercut the efforts of the team to work together, but he has no intention of getting close to her and hopes that she will understand the situation enough to give him space to allow that. The other side is possible, where they could work amazingly well together, which Vincent isn't unaware of, but he doesn't see that Iolite needs him to take the risk of dissolution in the hopes of stronger unification.
So, yes, Vincent doesn't want to hang with her, which doesn't mean that I don't want to thread with her . . . He's just very backed off with the whole Inara situation. He doesn't like emotions, and she seems to be pretty competent in that area, so it's like a cat with water, natch.
REVERSE.

Inara is very uncertain of Vincent. She is aware that he keeps his distance from her, but she doesn't have a good grasp on why he does it. So while she doesn't have a problem just observing the niceties with him and not getting close, she's not really sure where it comes from on his part -- whether it's distrust, caution, dislike or just part of his social strategy. She hasn't found their goals to differ so far, in terms of keeping Iolite safe, functional and able to win a decent amount, although finding out that he stabbed some girl on Citrine one time (she doesn't know the story beyond that) certainly left her skeptical of his methods! So she's uncomfortable with how things stand between them, but not uncomfortable enough to shake things up. However, if they did ever come into conflict that seemed likely to damage the team dynamic, her strategy would probably be to corner him in private and just frankly lay out what her intentions are and try to make him come up with clear boundaries of how they can both do what's best for Iolite without stepping on each other's toes. Even if they don't come into direct conflict, if she feels like there's enough of an edge in their interactions, she may do this at some point anyway.
What's the story behind apping C.C.?
