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

Yeah well. At least you realize it.

[lightblooming]

[ 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.

[darkcharge]

[ Huh? ]

How do you figure that?

[lightblooming]

[ 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.

[darkcharge]

[ 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.

[lightblooming]

Hey. [ Aqua sends Vanitas a look, voice light - almost teasing. ] I'm only a few years older than you.

[darkcharge]

[ Teasing. Is that what it is... ]

Hmm. Practically ancient then.

[lightblooming]

.... What? Aren't you as old as Ven?

[darkcharge]

It's just a joke. No need to read so much into it.

[lightblooming]

It can be difficult to tell with you sometimes.

[darkcharge]

Eventually you'll adjust.

[ That is, if she can continue to tolerate him. ]

[lightblooming]

[ She pauses before smiling a little at what he's implying. ]

Yes, I suppose so.

[darkcharge]

[ Okay he doesn't know he implied anything. That's why Aqua gets a scowl from him. Why is she smiling? ]

[lightblooming]

[ Okay, that has her confused. ]

What is it?

[darkcharge]

Why are you grinning like that.

[lightblooming]

Vanitas - you almost make it sound as though you want to talk more.

[darkcharge]

I just thought there is a good chance that it is inevitable.

[lightblooming]

I told you that we can stop speaking at any time.

[darkcharge]

You did, but when have I ever been adverse to talking?

[lightblooming]

What is it that you want then?

[darkcharge]

[ Funny that Aqua should ask that, given the mission that he accompanied Rose and Mira on earlier this month. In fact, the question puts such a bitter taste in his mouth that he founds.

Then takes a bite out of a pastry to get rid of it. ]

That's a bit personal.

[lightblooming]

That isn't what I meant.

[ If he isn't hurting anyone or causing trouble - she isn't going to stick her nose where it doesn't belong. ]

Vanitas, you don't want anything to do with us - but you aren't saying no to our company either.

[darkcharge]

Would you feel better about all this if I refused your company? At the moment I'm only an observer. I am just watching that you all do and what choices you make.

[ Evaluating, if you will. ]

[lightblooming]

[ That puts her in a sour mood. His answer leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. ]

You have no right to test us.

[darkcharge]

And there you go again, getting all offended for no reason in particular. Isn't that what you do with me in these conversation? See what I'll say and how I'll respond to what you think will be best for me?

[ He shrugs, so very casual. ]

How can I trust you and your words by doing anything less than watching?
