He is a big guy, isn't he? [she sounds fond as she says it.] But the more I think about it, the less likely you are to threaten anybody. Not the image you want to give off. Ah well. Not like there's much of my honor to fight for, huh? [it is mostly a joke.]
I'm not that hard to please. Your thought means the world to me.
[ Vincent is taking a moment to make a face and wants Maria to know that he's pausing just so that he's making a face even if he isn't letting her see what sort of face that he's making! ]
I don't know where to begin with what I was going to say.
However, you can, at least, rest assured that if something happened I would do something. But you're right -- it's better not to threaten but I'll give some encouraging words to him to show that I am not all just "thoughts and prayers."
How to explain simply her existence is enough to help him? It sounds unreasonably sentimental and he dislikes that to such a degree that he thinks of how best to word it that leaves out sentimentality. He wonders if people felt consoled with the existence of Castiel, for example. They would know for certain that a God exists in a world; their prayers, too, may have been going to a God that exists. The fact that one is in reality means another must be, as well.
For as insane and deranged as people would call him, he has proof that his God is real. She is just as terrifying and kind as he always thought She was. The love and fear he felt did go to some entity. Is there anything better than being right? He doesn't think so, especially in this matter. ]
[Maria thinks she probably does pay it in ways that she may not understand. she can't really understand what just her existence means to Vincent but she knows that being close to Heather is certainly payment enough. she's a bargaining chip for the one that really matters.
and that makes her very worthy.]
See, don't want you thinking I'm assuming you have the warm fuzzies for me.

Hardly. You can get all your warm and fuzzies from -- [ And he makes a face. ] -- Vander.
