Vanitas.

[ Sorry, Aqua. All he is going to give in response is this face. ]

You're impossible.

What can I say. It's just not in me to make it easy on anyone.

[ SHE SIGHS.... All she can really do is try, but she isn't really sure she can do much. Then again, Aqua's always been humble. ]

In the end, it's up to you to take whatever help is offered.

[ Yes, Vanitas does enjoy making things harder for others than necessary. It's just who he is and that may never change. He does, however, actually look at her with a serious expression. ]

As it should be.

[ His choice, that is. ]

[ She stops when he seems to suddenly get more serious, frowning slightly. ]

... I'm sorry if it felt like I wasn't giving you a choice before.

[ Ah... An apology. He doesn't know what to do with that... ]

Yeah well. At least you realize it.

[ It's a bit of a rude response, and Aqua doesn't answer that way because of it. Still, there's something she can't really deny. ]

You've taught me more than I ever thought you would.

[ Huh? ]

How do you figure that?

[ She speaks quietly. ]

... It was both Terra and my own experience had taught me that there was more to Darkness than just-- something that's evil-- something to eradicate, but... you've only confirmed that.

And-- sometimes, there's more to someone than you could ever really know.

[ Honestly Vanitas is a little skeptical here. In her dragon form she practically hones in on him. Not really convincing Vanitas here that she doesn't, somewhere in her heart, still believe Darkness is a thing that must be purged from people. ]

I guess older dogs can still learn some new tricks. Or maybe I should say older dragons.
