[Vincent doesn't know specifics about Toph's background. If she wanted to share, he'd listen of course, but it's not really a topic unearthed (no pun intended). Still, there is enough for him to interpret; she has enough to know, most likely, how a parent should or should not be, to some degree. He does not ask, not today.
Instead, he's... overwhelmed, briefly, by the embrace. It surprises him that it's happened twice now.
Slowly, he wraps his arms around her. Not gentle because she's fragile, but gentle because his own heart is so tender.]
I suppose so.
[He thinks briefly to his own relationship with his father, a nearly non-existent one at that. It'd been a bit strange and conflicting when he received news of his passing; he should have been more upset, probably. But he wasn't relieved either. It was just an unfortunate occurrence that barely changed him.
Could Vincent be a good father? Difficult to say, but hell knows he can't do worse than that. Worse than anything else Sephiroth has been through.]
...I want to ensure he has a future he can be proud of.
[Most of all, that is true. If he could save Sephiroth somehow, even if it's just one version of him...]
