[ She finishes, securing the scarf so it's snug, but not too much so before she steps away. ]

I heard that it's going to get colder. If you wear it like this, it'll keep you warm.

[darkcharge]

[ At least she doesn't make direct contact... ]

Why.

[lightblooming]

... Vanitas, I know that you haven't been shown kindness in your life. I wanted to try to change that.

[darkcharge]

[ For once there's no biting comment to accompany Aqua's statement. In fact, there's not any comment at all. Vanitas just glares down at the floor.

People. They're really confusing him. ]

[lightblooming]

... Belated Merry Christmas.

[ She says softly. She'll turn to start to leave then. ]

[darkcharge]

[ Really... He should just leave her to her own devices. ]

What's that.

[lightblooming]

[ She... should have seen that question coming. ]

It's... a time to be with family. And a time to give to others, though it really is just tradition.

[darkcharge]

What's the point of giving to others? It's not like they'd give back...

[lightblooming]

.... Well, even if they don't - it's about making someone else happy.

[darkcharge]

And what, exactly, do you get out of that?

[lightblooming]

It isn't about getting something out of it, but -- there's happiness in knowing that you made someone else happy.

[darkcharge]

How could someone else being happy make you happy?

[lightblooming]

Sometimes, when you care about someone - all you want for them is to be safe and happy.

[darkcharge]

Then... Why bother with this? We've pretty much established that we can't actually stand each other.

[lightblooming]

You deserve a chance at happiness, just like everyone else.

... And, it's going to get colder. You should stay warm when it does.

[darkcharge]

I'm not capable of being happy.

[ And he still, genuinely, believes this. ]

[lightblooming]

I don't think that's true. ... From what you've told me, you've never had a chance to be happy.

[darkcharge]

I had a chance at least once. Too bad that was robbed of me.

[lightblooming]

You have your chance here, too.

[darkcharge]

Yeah? And that's working out oh so well...

[lightblooming]

Isn't it? From what I've heard, you've made some good friends here.

[darkcharge]

[ What's this about friends now? ]

I don't have friends.

[lightblooming]

Really? Marie seemed to consider herself your friend.

[darkcharge]

Marie is... Persistent.

[ And naggy. But Van isn't going to get into all of that. ]

[lightblooming]

It sounds like she wants to look out for you.
