( OOC Note )

Comments

[lightblooming]

... It makes sense. It sounded as though most of your time was done training with Xehanort.

[ She stops for a moment. ]

I'm not used to it myself. Back at home - it was just Terra, Ven, Master Eraqus and I in the castle.

[darkcharge]

There wasn't a need for anything else.

[ He wonders, for a moment, if he could snatch up something and not get into trouble. It's not as if he cares if he does or doesn't... It's just simpler.

But for Aqua, Van huffs. ]

I know. Ventus felt particularly strong about it.

[lightblooming]

[ She can't help but feel sympathy for him. To live a life where all you can do is train... that isn't a life at all. ]

That's not true. We all need more than just pursuing a goal in our lives.

[ She looks to Vanitas in confusion at what he says next. ]

What are you talking about? How would you know that?

[darkcharge]

Agree to disagree there, I suppose.

[ That's all he really knows. What's living without something he is supposed to be going after? Vanitas doesn't know. Never thought about it long enough... ]

I've always have been aware what it is Ventus is going through. What he's feeling. Where he is.

[lightblooming]

... I knew that the both of you were connected, but I didn't know that it was to that degree. [ The heart... It really is amazing. ]

But then -- when Ven first arrived in the Land of Departure, too?

[darkcharge]

Maybe not for him, t for me it ran that deep. So, yes. Even when Ventus first arrived at your silly castle, I knew where he was. It was only difficult after you hid his body and he decided to shelter himself in "little brother's" heart to determine his location.

[lightblooming]

It was Xehanort who brought him to us. Terra and I-- we had no idea what had happened to him

[darkcharge]

That's because he couldn't be around me. Every move the old man made was calculated. He knew that his best friend would take care of him...

[lightblooming]

... Master Eraqus always spoke fondly of him. He trusted him so much. The fact that he betrayed Master Eraqus like that -- it was despicable.

[darkcharge]

I wouldn't call it a betrayal. At least not until the end.

[ Because you know. Ultimately Eraqus did die. ]

People don't matter to him. When their use runs their course he simply replaces them.

[lightblooming]

... I'm not so sure. Xehanort showed that he still cared for him before he passed on.

[darkcharge]

Wouldn't know a thing about that, now would I?

[ Cause you know. Vanitas hopes that he stays "dead." ]

[lightblooming]

... No. You're right.

But... they passed on together.

[darkcharge]

[ For a moment Vanitas stares at her, as if he isn't sure what he is hearing.

Then he just starts to lose it. Laughing. ]

[lightblooming]

[ Aqua looks taken aback at that, her brows furrowing. ]

I don't understand what's so funny.

[darkcharge]

What's not funny about this? They got their little happy ending together. Master Xehanort... The guy that staged this entire thing. He gets to just disappear in little flickers of Light!

It's so stupidly ironic I can't stand it.

[lightblooming]

[ Aqua's expression grows grim. ]

I don't think so. ... Xehanort worked his entire life to reach a goal, only to be stopped.

[darkcharge]

That's not really the point. He was stopped, sure. But yet he was still embraced by the Light.

[lightblooming]

... Vanitas. He made his choice. It's one that was offered to you, too.

[darkcharge]

And what good would that have done, Aqua? How would anything have changed? I'd still be broken. I'd have no purpose, no meaning.

Ventus didn't actually want me to drop what I was doing. If he had then it wouldn't have been a "well okay" from him.

[lightblooming]

You're here in this world now. Isn't this your chance to change things?

[darkcharge]

None of those things are about to change just because I'm here.

[lightblooming]

You can find a purpose - a meaning. Maybe that's what this world meant by sending you here.

[darkcharge]

Is that right... And just where would you suggest that I go to find such "purpose?"

[lightblooming]

That isn't up to me.
