[it's the sudden reappearance of his notebook rather than Kit's words that shake him out of the last dregs of his reverie. he clasps it instinctively, like a treasure or a weapon, and immediately begins attempting to get to his feet as his companion makes quick work of their failed experiment.
it's a poor idea and dizziness strikes him almost as soon as he begins moving, but he remains undaunted. now that he's back to clarity what galls him most is the overt show of vulnerability he'd just put on for his unwilling audience. he needs to pull himself together - and he absolutely needs to be standing for whatever comes next.
he's on his feet by the time Kit returns, albeit with a faintly unsteady air. everything hurts, his head in particular, but he does his best to appear disaffected.]
Fine.
[he'd still be here, the unspoken acknowledgement. no matter how body he became, there was absolutely no way Vincent was backing down from this fight.]
