[...and here he'd actually been taking pains to be somewhat amiable this whole time. moments like this were exactly why he made less and less of an effort the more time passed between the present and the days when he'd lived with his parents - it just never paid off.
while Vincent refuses to give his dubious companion the satisfaction of sprinting to catch up, no power in any world could hope to banish the intense annoyance plastered across his face. it wouldn't be too surprising if Kit could actually hear the grinding of his teeth as he spitefully continued upwards at the exact same pace as before.
he'd fully intended to refrain from commenting on any of this just to show how beneath him he was, but Kit's inquiry when he reached the landing was enough to dash that plan to pieces.
it was an awfully roundabout way to bring this up, but that only served to heighten his wariness. Kit is treated to a sharp look that he must be able to feel even if he can't see it with his back turned, the sort that might have burned real holes through his waist if this had been another world.
as it is, he pauses for only a moment before walking swiftly through the doors, jostling the other boy roughly as he passed. there was no need for it, given the size of the doors, but that was entirely the point.]
