| He read the text and nodded with a smile, before looking to Nakia.
"Well, all that matters is that you're okay." he told her.
"Do you need any healing or anything?" he then asked.

| "I think I'm good. Just a bit bruised." She told him honestly as she got to her feet.
"Get going, I want to go have a shower and go to bed... or at least try to." She added with a small sigh.

| He nodded, and looked to the gauntlets once more.
"Hmmmm..." he mumbled, as he looked at them intently.
"How is it possible...." he asked himself quietly.

| "How is what possible...?" Nakia asked almost hesitantly. She'd barely heard what he'd said, but she did hear.

| "These gloves... they shouldn't technically work." he said to her.
"In theory, it's possible for heartbeat energy to power them... but there's an obvious barrier. Getting it to transmit without hooking them up directly." he told her further.
"With it's design as it is, they shouldn't work as they do... they should have killed him before any use could have been made of them." he continued.
"It's impossible for technology alone to do this... there had to have been something else at work, for them to function as they did, as efficiently as they did, without killing him instantly."

| Nakia looked at Vincent, then over to Leo for a moment.
"But... then how...?" She wondered before shaking her head.
"and he didn't even bleed much when he pulled the needles out either..."

| Vincent brought his fingers to his chin, and thought.
"There really is only one explanation." he said.
"Magic."

| Nakia was silent.
"But... the coin didn't affect him. If he had any mana in his veins it would have reacted to the coin." She commented.
"Unless he's one of the rare ones that is actually immune to the various artefacts out there..."

| "Or it's so passive that it slipped under the coin's radar." Vincent added.
"Remember, those artifacts were generally designed when all that was known about magic was active magic, which is very prominent in the veins, and very assertive in the person." he said to her.

| "Hmm... that is true." Nakia agreed.
"But really, Both are possible." She said with a shrug.
"Anyway, stop by tomorrow and test him if you want to know."

| "I can definitely do that." Vincent replied with a smile.
"But for now, let's just be happy that this turned out well in the end." he said to her.
"You're safe, Leo's fine, and one of the more dangerous magical artifacts out there has been destroyed."

| Nakia nodded.
"Agreed." she said.
"But seriously, if you want to find out for sure, stop by later, after I get some sleep, and he's up again, and find out."

| Vincent nodded.
"I think I shall do just that." he told her.
"Regardless... I think you would do well to get that sleep you mentioned. You've had a rough night, to say the least."

| "Yeah. Ir probably would be a damn good idea." Nakia agreed.
"Anyway, get going so I can." She added with a chuckle.

| He smiled and walked over to her, giving her a hug and a kiss on her cheek.
"Goodnight, sweetheart. Love you." he said to her, before stepping back and vanishing in a gentle swirl of wind.
