[almost as if reading the other boy's mind, Vincent's response comes tinged with faint amusement. he must have some earrings and ear cuffs that were precious metals, he thinks, but the majority of his jewelry trended towards steel. it was a little less expensive, and a hell of a lot more durable. that little incident with his eyebrow piercing earlier wasn't the first time he'd treated his hardware roughly.
as he allows his hand to drop back into his lap, he can't help but think about what else he may own in silver. the ring he'd received as one of the many gifts from his parents for starting high school comes to mind, albeit reluctantly. he hadn't pawned that away, had he? even if the answer was no, he isn't sure if warding off the supernatural was a strong enough reason to overpower his distaste for wearing it in public.
perhaps a shopping trip to further expand his wardrobe was in the near future...]
If we get a manifestation we can try striking a deal, but that's not reliable.
