Everything. The problem is that sometimes you don't know what it costs and never will. Even down to choices... You may think that it is harmless, but you never know. The road never traveled could have been important.

[lightblooming]

Vanitas, take that scarf for example - I don't want anything in return.

[darkcharge]

There's still a cost. By accepting and using your gift, you'll feel more confident about approaching me in the future. I'll also have less reason o turn you away.

That is the price.

[lightblooming]

Do you want me to stay away?

[darkcharge]

[ Well NOW he stares at her like she's the strangest thing on the planet. ]

So now you ask that? I had already said I wanted nothing more to do with the Organization or you guardians. The only one of you that hasn't approached me is the little princess and that's likely because she doesn't know what I look like.

[ Vanitas huffs and rubs at his jaw. He hates how expressive his face really is. ]

That's not really going to happen and I've just accepted it.

[lightblooming]

Vanitas, I'm giving you the choice now. You've shown that you don't want to cause any trouble, and if you want for it to be - this can be the last time we see one another in this world like this.

[ She doesn't want string attached to this gift. ]

[darkcharge]

I suppose I could agree to it... But wouldn't that now be a bit complicated? After all didn't you have something you wanted to prove to me?

[lightblooming]

.... Well, yes. I wanted you to know that I understood.

[darkcharge]

Then just don't worry about it. As I said... I've gotten to tolerate it.

[lightblooming]

... Alright.

I suppose that goes for both of us.

[darkcharge]

I mean if you would prefer that I chase you off with harsh words meant to upset you, I can always go back to that.

[lightblooming]

... No, I don't think that's what either of us wants.

[darkcharge]

[ He meets her with a casual shrug of his shoulders. Does she really think that he isn't okay with going back to how things were? He could be content with that. ]

Oh I don't know about that. Your expressions are rather satisfying.

[lightblooming]

[ She pauses at that, looking to him in a confused manner. ]

My... expressions?

[darkcharge]

Yes, your expressions. Have you ever taken a moment to wonder what you look like when you're in your feelings? What form your face takes in anger? In fear? In disgust...

[ This is Vanitas' form of entertainment after all. ]

[lightblooming]

[ Her expression sours at that. ]

Find something else to entertain you.

[darkcharge]

[ Yeah, see, that really only serves to make him grin all the more. ]

Oh I do suppose I could. Though do you really want me to find other participants for my little games?

[lightblooming]

[ She scowls. ]

Didn't you tell me that you didn't want to cause trouble?

[darkcharge]

It's true. I have no great plans or designs other than to find the means to mend or fill my heart with that which I no longer have...

[ He can't help but smirk. Maybe Aqua will think that this means he will go after Ventus. Vanitas won't, for he has something of an answer from the Coven on the matter. Vanitas merely has to find the right person to fill that void. ]

That does not mean I can entirely stop myself from aggravating situations that are already present, of course. So technically, you are correct. I don't intend to start anything.

[lightblooming]

[ THEY WERE HAVING A DECENT MOMENT.... He's so infuriating. ]

Find another way to entertain yourself. Acting that way won't help you.

[darkcharge]

Old habits, as they say...

[ Though his may never die fully. He likes them too much. ]

[lightblooming]

"Die hard", but aren't impossible to break.

[darkcharge]

Some of those I really don't feel like they should die out at all...

[lightblooming]

I can't do what you expect of me if you choose to rile me up the entire time.

[darkcharge]

Honestly I don't really expect anything out of you. Isn't the point to prove me wrong on this? That I can trust you and your words?
