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?

[lightblooming]

This has nothing to do with what's best for you, Vanitas. But, what your saying now isn't anything different than what the Organization did.

[darkcharge]

I would say that it is a fair amount different from what the Organization did. Do you see me trying to manipulate the situation towards some unknown end?

[lightblooming]

No. But, why test us? For what purpose?

[darkcharge]

Isn't that obvious? To see if it is worth it to place any trust in you lot.

[ What other reason could there be? ]

[lightblooming]

It doesn't sound like you have an answer yet.

[darkcharge]

No, I don't. A few civil conversation isn't quite enough for me to make that determination.

[ Sorry, Aqua. ]

[lightblooming]

Of course not.

But, I'm the same way. ... I don't know if I can trust you entirely yet.

[darkcharge]

Oh I didn't figure that you would place any trust in me. All the more reason to continue to somewhat be on guard.

[lightblooming]

That makes two of us.

... But Vanitas, I do want to understand you.
