( On Fleece )
[ This isn't the first time there's been something going on with the sheep, right? Well the first time Vanitas hadn't been all that interested. Honestly he's not all that interested this time either. However, the reports of sheep with fangs has sort of piqued his interested. The only reason that Vanitas is there is to poke some fun at people. He has no intention of actually helping. So that's what he does. He'll see someone intimidated by one of the wooly beasts and then he jeers. Vanitas mocks and teases. Because that is the sort of person that he is. Who could possibly be afraid of these things?
Of course the tables turn a little, don't they? While Vanitas doesn't help anyone out - not one bit - he seems to have his own following of sheep after some time. They eventually block Vanitas in and he shoves at them. He's not nervous about their forward attitude. ]
Go away! [ Oh they aren't budging. ] Come on! Get lost!
[ The sheep aren't going anywhere. In the process of Vanitas trying to get them to go away, one licks his cheek instead. ]
Augh! Gross!
[ He might have forgotten about the fact that animals like his aura, okay? ]
( Berry Picking )
[ Seems like all of the bakeries are wanting these iunerberries. It feels like pretty tedious work, so Vanitas doesn't really take any interest in it at all. However, when one of the shops is offering double? That is when he takes notice. How hard can it be to pick some berries and get some money for it, after all?
Hence he is out in the fields, with what feels like a bunch of people. Vanitas' basket is coming along fairly well, but he is trying to keep to himself. There are a few people that Van can get on okay with, but for the most part groups still annoy him.
Come bother him? All he's doing is plucking berries. One in particular catches his eye. Just what do these iunerberries taste like? ]
( Candle Crafts )
[ After Irhya drags him to this activity the first time, Vanitas will stop by now and then. How many people have told him that he needs to find a hobby? Thancred sure seems to have been encouraging it. Vanitas would prefer to do something other than create candles for a holiday that he knows nothing about nor cares to but whatever.
He doesn't take to carving anything or designing. Vanitas is pretty content with just the pouring aspect. The staff teaching those that are wanting to learn are used to this, but are trying to coerce Van into learning how to design as well.
The look on his face is one of disgust. ]
( Silent Forest )
[ Vanitas is going to be going out each and every time an infusion is requested. Each and every time he's going to say this: ]
I don't need any help. I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself. Go find someone else.
[ At least that's what his response is to anyone that approaches him. Yet in the end that isn't going to work, is it? In the end someone is going to be stubborn enough to work through his prickly exterior and come along with him, huh? Thus here he is, in the company of someone that he never asked for, walking through the forest. ]
The leyline should be somewhere around here. Let's just get this done and go.
( Wildcard )
[ As always, I am open to any and all ideas. If none of the prompts tickle your fancy, just throw something my way and I'll roll with whatever. Or just get with me and we can do something else! ]

no subject
[ it sure is a huge mess. like. you can barely discern it's a lion, let alone an actual animal. ]
Come on, it looks fine!
no subject
[ Suppose that much makes sense. But pssht. ]
It still doesn't look much like anything.
no subject
[ are they really having this argument right now? are they? lance sure is, that's for sure. ]
no subject
Given time I could.
[ Not as he is though. He's never so much as put pen to paper for anything but writing. Vanitas hasn't experienced art. ]
no subject
[ yeah, this is the hill he's dying on. he has no idea that this guy's never experienced art before.
and lance is fully ready to challenge him on this...... ]
no subject
[ Lance can try to die on that hill. It's fine. Vanitas doesn't really know what he's getting himself into here. ]
no subject
[ boy.....boy. stop. ]
Alright, we're settling this here and now! [ he reaches over and grabs one of his own blank candles and puts it right in front of vanitas. ]
You're drawing a lion on this thing. I'm giving you fifteen minutes!
no subject
That's not to say that he knows anything about this. So he just sort of. Stares at it for a moment or two and then gets irritated. Shoves the candle away. ]
I don't have to prove anything.
this thread...scrubs my face
[ he says it in a way that sounds like he's got his chin held high, but he's actually a little deflated. either way, he looks like a grump now as he... attempts to fix the mess of a lion he made on vanitas' candle. ]
...You know, you kind of remind me of someone I talked to once. No idea who it was since it was on the network.
no subject
...You don't say.
[ As if Vanitas isn't aware that Lance had been talking to him. ]
And what did you two talk about?
no subject
Friendship. Getting attached to people. Stuff that this person apparently hadn't felt before. It was an interesting conversation.
no subject
It takes all kinds, doesn't it? You certainly can't expect everyone to have the same kinds of experiences.
no subject
[ he gives vanitas another scrutinizing look. he holds that look for a while...
...
and then he just shrugs. looks like the connection wasn't made after all... ]
Dunno. You just reminded me of them a little, that's all. Now...time to fix this thing.
[ he turns back to his candle and just. tries to cover the monstrosity he drew in glitter. ]
no subject
But when the other turns around, Vanitas rolls his eyes. ]
Connect these lines here.
[ At least he points it out, leaning over and everything. Might make it salvageable? Just because he isn't sure how to do it himself doesn't mean that he can't see where to correct some mistakes. ]
no subject
Okay, that worked.
[ he picks up the glitter and looks at the new version of the lion, then back at the glitter. ]
Does it need more of this?
no subject
[ Once again Vanitas looks it over, pointing out a few things here and there. ]
Using the glitter you can make some of these knocks and mistakes disappear. Only it'd give it a mane.
[ ....And he has no idea how creative of an idea that is. Van figures it's practical. ]
no subject
[ he starts carefully sprinkling glitter over the weird parts. ]
...What's your name, by the way? Maybe you can't draw, but you're actually kinda helping me out a lot here, buddy.
no subject
It's Vanitas.
[ He's never had an issue with giving out his name. For someone that just doesn't like people on the whole, he does seem rather chatty. ]
wanna wrap up here?
[ he'd normally be a little more pleasant than this but...gestures. in any case, he's not being actively antagonistic, though he will just turn back to vanitas' candle and go back to working intently on the candle. ]
if you'd like
Not really, but that's fine.
[ Look, he is aware that he is not a nice person to meet. It's just all pleasantries that he can do without. ]
