Pippin looks up at Will with big eyes. He rests his head on Will's lap. "There are some days that, without Pippin, I wouldn't get out of bed. Truly, they're darlings."

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

What can he say. It's in his bones. "Pippin is like that for me. He's my near-constant companion, and when I'm feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable, he helps."

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"And your job is incredibly demanding. The dogs must be a relief for you. An escape."

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"If they didn't like you, I'm sure you'd have figured that out by now." Vincent hums, a light smile playing on his lips. "You mean after a long case, you still go home and make your dogs dinner? That's dedication."

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"Ah, that's very caring of you. I'm sure they appreciate having food and a home and someone to love them." Pippin is in heaven, and he bops Will with a paw if ever he stops petting him.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Pippin is only too happy to stay where he is. He even shows Will his tummy for the best pets!! "Did you get them all at once, or one at a time?"

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"You said you have six dogs, right?" Vincent is sitting at his desk, sipping tea.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

-hasn't seen his dad in 10 years. "Oh, hi, my darling. Hello. Yes, I've missed you too. You smell so nice and feel so soft."

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

And when the staff member returns, there's a shiny, handsome golden retriever at her side. "Here you are, Mr. Delgado." Vincent takes a couple steps back, then kneels down. Pippin comes running over, licking all over Vincent's face, tail wagging like he -

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Oh, this man is a professional dog-petter, thinks Pippin. Pippin sits on Will's feet and happily accepts pets. "Wonderful. He's a good boy." Vincent smiles slightly, hearing the warmth in Will's voice.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

-wonderful dog Pippin is, so well behaved! Then she's disappearing to go get Pippin.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

It's very kind. Vincent is surprised to hear Will coming with him. Pleasantly surprised.. The door jingles as they open it. There's someone at the desk, and a dog or two barking from the back. "I'm here for Pippin." The front desk worker smiles and makes small-talk about what a -

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

And Pippin tail is wagging (heck, his whole body is practically wagging) as he comes over to Will, sniffing at his feet and legs because dog scents. "Do let me know if Pippin does anything ungentlemanly. He's well trained, but dogs are dogs still."

110

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

And who could blame you. Pippin loves a good pet.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"Oh, excellent. And six dogs sounds like an ideal situation." Vincent gets out of the car, unfolding his cane.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

"I shall endeavor to keep out of your head as much as you like. Though, I wouldn't say I enter anyone's head..." Ah, the groomer's should be coming up shortly. "You won't mind a dog in your car, will you?"

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

-throat. "If I start sounding too much like a therapist, let me know." There's a touch of amusement, but also... He's really not trying to therapize Will. It just... Happens.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Ah, now. While Vincent didn't have access to Will's files, he had been given a head's up by someone about the incoming consultant. "Ah, hm. One of our... Bad apples, one could say. I'm sorry about him. I'm sorry you went through what you did." He clears his -

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"But it is wise to spread wisdom, even if that wisdom is not necessarily your own~." He chuckles, "But yes, alas and alack, us therapists can be rather shit at following our own better judgment."

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

A warm laugh escapes Vincent. "Sounds like *you're* the therapist now." He hums, setting his head back, eyes closing. "I suppose I'm bad at taking my own medicine, so to speak."

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"Oh, yes. The groomer is called Wiggles and Wags grooming, and it's 282 Park Street in Triangle." He holds his cane in his lap, letting out a soft exhale. This whole situation has stressed him a bit, but Will is saving his day. "I really appreciate this. I generally try not to burden anyone."

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"Thank you, Will." He folds up his cane, careful as he steps down off the curb, feeling his way into the car and shutting the door once he's sat.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

A little smile flickers on his lips. "I don't mind. Thank you for asking." Lord knows so many people don't think about that with him. "It might be easier if you took my arm." He holds out said arm.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"Yes, I thought so... " He sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "Well, I need to pick up Pippin from the groomer's. I wouldn't want to impose on you. I'm sure you have your own reasons for being out and about today."

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

"Oh, Will--." Vincent's tone is a little relieved. "I'm alright. I could be better. My ride dropped me off here, but this isn't Triangle, is it." Triangle being a town right next to Quantico.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

-be sure he's out of the way as he tries to search up a different taxi service on his phone.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Help would be accepted. He's hesitant to order another Uber in case of another mistake. He hopes it was a mistake, anyways. Otherwise, someone is just being cruel to a blind man for fun (and his money). Currently, Vincent is using his cane to find his way over to the side of a building so he can -

My Uber driver left me somewhere that was not my designated location. Hey Siri? Where the fuck am I?

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Many of us seek to help others in our own way.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Mm. A mug of hot chocolate, a good lay, a warm bath... As I've gotten older, it becomes easier to appreciate those things. At least in my experience. [He's listening for that bartender again, though the bartender seems busy down at the other end.]

Oh, now, yes. I mean, I enjoy my job, and I love my Pippin, and I enjoy coming out at night and meeting lovely people like yourself. I enjoy cooking and listening to audio books. After the divorce, it had been difficult. [He smiles softly.] I appreciate your concern.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

[Vincent nods, leaning against the bar a bit.] When I was married, I used to think that about my husband.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

*Seven*. I can imagine the chaos. [He finishes his beer.] They must be a joy to come home to.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

I don't usually bring him out with me at night, so it's too bad you couldn't meet him. He's a good boy, if a little rascal from time to time. How many dogs do you have?

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

[Vincent's eyebrows shoot up.] Did you just read my mind? Practically the perfect answer. That's amazing... I have a service dog. A golden lab named Pippin.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Excellent. I think I'm doing rather well tonight with you. [Oh, that laugh is nice to hear. It sounds disused.] Tell me something about yourself. Something you enjoy.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

[Vincent laughs softly.] So far, I find you intriguing and inoffensive, with a pleasant voice.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

It depends on the night. [He hums, sipping his beer some more.] I've met a few men that weren't horrible.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

-enjoy most the nights that I make myself go out.

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

[Vincent doesn't even mind if it's deflection.] I've grown a liking for company as I've gotten older. I think after having lost my sight, I felt very isolated. Alone in a bad way. While it would have been easy to stay at home every day after work, I made myself get out there, and I've come to -

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Cheers to us for doing the healthier thing and drinking out. [He raises his beer bottle.] I'm sorry your day was long. At least it's over?

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Exactly so. And yet... You're here, tonight. [He feels for his beer, and goes to sip it.]

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

-Though, I hear homesteading could be called a type of solitary lifestyle, depending on how one does it.

100

Dr. Vincent Flores-Delgado @mindfulmediator.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Ah, I'm pleased to have passed your exacting tastes. [He grins, teasing a little.] You're right, though. A great deal of society is geared toward couples and families. Unless you wish to become a monk of some sort, finding a completely solitary life is difficult. -
