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.

[darkcharge]

Are you really so sure that it's possible?

[ Specifically, that it is possible for her. Vanitas has a few doubts. ]

[lightblooming]

I don't think it's impossible.

The more we speak, the more I feel like I'm starting to understand you.

[darkcharge]

[ Scary thought, that. ]

Is that right...

[ He sounds very dubious, ma'am. ]

[lightblooming]

Vanitas, you're....

Stubborn to a fault, and you always keep others at a distance. But, I can't help but think that you're strong, too. You've gone through so much heartache, but you haven't let it break you here.

[darkcharge]

[ Well. Not always. Though he hasn't quite realized that he's slowly letting some people in. ]

Careful, Aqua. One might think you're giving me a complement.

[lightblooming]

.... I may be doing that.

[darkcharge]

...Are you sick or something?

[lightblooming]

... You asked me how I understood you better. I answered. That's all.

[darkcharge]

[ And, for once, Vanitas really doesn't have something to come back at her with.

What could he even say to that? ]

[lightblooming]

[ After a moment of silence, she takes a step back. ]

I'll let you get back to studying.

[darkcharge]

Tch. After that? I'm not sure I'll be able to get the same level of focus back.

[lightblooming]

You're blaming someone else for your lack of focus?

[ She's just teasing him a little. ]

[darkcharge]

I completely and totally am.

[ Teasing or not, Vanitas is totally throwing it right back at her. ]

[lightblooming]

I didn't think I'd see you get flustered.

[darkcharge]

Hey. Who said I got flustered?

[ Wow don't call him out? ]

[lightblooming]

[ Wow, he's just asking to be teased. ]

No one had to.

[darkcharge]

...You're not being cute at all.

[ MORE LIKE RUDE. ]

[lightblooming]

What? I'm not trying to be.
