[people would think what they liked, after all. it was something that Vincent was accustomed to himself by now; between his often lousy attitude and the frightening way he dressed he found that the 'first impression' had already been made long before he ever spoke with anyone.
it was simply a part of life, something that would never change. all anyone could do was decide how they themselves would react - to continue the way they were, or to become what people already assumed of them. in this case, however, he doubts that the options aren't one and the same for Kit. there was no reason to respond the way he had unless he'd immediately grasped the implication beneath the comment, not when it could so easily be taken as another run of the mill jab. and to be so cagey about the whole matter..? well.
there's a air of quiet contentment as Vincent swallows the second half of his candy bar whole and wanders off in search of the nearest garbage can. he's gotten everything that he'd wanted out of this little excursion: sugar and satisfaction.]
