( 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
No, but they could try harder. There are more dangerous things out there.
( and now lio shakes his head, still amused. )
You're horrible. ( not really. ) You could stand to be more sympathetic. ( again, not really. )
no subject
[ Vanitas hates them. They aren't all that "fun" to deal with. However his expression falls into an easy smirk. At least Lio finds him humorous. ]
Horrible? Yes. [ A chuckle. ] Be more sympathetic? Nah... That's not me.
no subject
( though he would rather run one through with a sword, or any weapon that he could get his hands on. )
It's not. ( a pause, before he smiles. ) You're great the way you are.
( standing up, lio cranes his neck before stretching up and out, then goes to touch his toes. )
How long are you planning to stay here?
no subject
[ The scar on his lip is proof enough of that. Someone had been semi possessed and Vanitas has encouraged them to release their anger.
He'd comment on it, but Lio's next words make him pause. Vanitas tenses up and stares at Lio. Lio is perhaps only the third person to have actually come out and said something like this. Others likely feel this way, but hardly do they vocalize it. ]
I. Uh. Not too much longer.
no subject
( but he doesn't want to go any further with that, instead focused on how tense van suddenly looks. )
I'd offer to fly you somewhere, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it yet.
no subject
[ Not that this really works with Vanitas. He is negativity personified after all. ]
...So you've been working on your wings?
[ Good deflection, Lio. ]
no subject
I have. ( a smirk! ) How else will I be able to swoop down and catch you off-guard if I can't get used to going fast?
no subject
I think you might have to work a little harder to be able to pick me up.
[ Amused! He's not really a lightweight with all of that muscle mass. ]
no subject
Really, Vanitas? Then you really better watch out, or you'll find yourself up in my clutches up in the air, and you'll have to hope I did do all that work.
( but he'd never, ever put van in danger. no, not just because lio couldn't imagine himself harming anyone that didn't deserve it, but because... he wouldn't hurt a friend like that. )
no subject
I still welcome you to try, Lio. Sweep me off my feet.
[ Then he's laughing. Something light-hearted rather than condescending. But he doesn't think Lio would do something that would put them at risk. Although a little risk will be fine. Slight threat of danger is exciting. ]
You look like you're getting used to your new form at any rate.
no subject
( and as sharp as his look was seconds ago, it's all melted away into something warm and affable. it's what he'd do after, if he were successful, that lio isn't sure about. could he fly them to some kind of fancy pastry shop? maybe to his special balcony that his bonded would make for him, shielded from the elements but still outside. )
I am. Soon, I'll be flying to visit others on a regular basis. It'll be nicer than wearing out my feet.
( and one day, those feet won't be particularly great for walking in the first place. )
no subject
I guess that would just be another reason to leave my windows unlocked.
[ He already does because a certain Puca doesn't like to use a door. So it wouldn't really be much of a surprise to see Lio there. ]
no subject
I'll make sure to give you advance notice, but only for that.
( not for his super secret future ambush. )
Better be ready to catch me if I come in too hot.
no subject
[ What a mess that will turn out to be in the end!
But really he is just sort of teasing Lio in the end. He'd probably catch him. Probably. ]
no subject
( having to clean up feathers is a much easier mess to clean in comparison to the alternative, but he has faith in van. if it's misplaced, it's his own fault. it's been too easy for lio to trust others so easily... )
Just don't stay too much longer. The sheep are distracted for now, but who knows if they'll come back for a little more of your attention.
( is lio a honorary sheep? a mystery. )
no subject
Actually... I had better make my escape now.
[ While he still can. ]
