[ven yelps in surprise, but the bread assault is almost immediately forgotten when vanitas goes on to say that.

ven's tail starts wagging behind him and an almost hopeful glint alights in his eyes.]

Really?

[more tail wagging]

So it's really okay?

[darkcharge]

...I am about thirty seconds away from changing my mind.

[ Stop wagging your dumb tail, Ventus. ]

[callmeven]

Okay!

[can't stop won't stop]

Hey, did you ever finish that spear you were working on?

[darkcharge]

...Yes?

[ What's that got to do with anything? ]

[callmeven]

Who gave it to you?

[he's making CONVERSATION, vanitas. get with it.]

[darkcharge]

Scathach.

[ Okay but why are you sucking at it? ]

[callmeven]

Are they another friend?

[he wouldn't suck so bad if vanitas put in some effort on his end too.]

[darkcharge]

She is some kind of immortal that gave me advice when I didn't know what to do with you.

[ NOT A FRIEND. HE DOES NOT - ]

I don't have friends, Venty-Wenty.

[callmeven]

... Did she want you to use the spear on me?

[because it feels like it might... have been given to him for that reason.]

That I really doubt, Vanitas.

[darkcharge]

Maybe. She's definitely the type to deal with her problems like that.

[ Look. He isn't going to discount the fact that the gift might have been given to him "just in case." Though Vanitas feels like she'd have been more direct than that. ]

And you should stop doubting, Vents. I don't do friends.

[callmeven]

If you say so...

[no he still has his doubts.]

How has Emet-selch been?

[darkcharge]

[ Ah... A subject change. Whatever, fine. He will roll with it. Vanitas is still picking up stuff as he goes. ]

Cranky. He hasn't left his room yet and every breath he takes still hurts.

[callmeven]

I guess taking him to the hospital isn't really an option, yeah?

[emet seems like the kind of guy who would be less than happy about being in a place like that.]

But... he is recovering, right?

[darkcharge]

[ Uh, Ventus... ]

What's a hospital.

[callmeven]

[ven hesitates.]

Oh... it's a place where the sick or injured go to be healed or made to feel better. Like, um, doctors and medics work there and stuff.

[darkcharge]

But we have... Healing magic?

[callmeven]

[ven drops another item into his shopping bag and shrugs.]

Healing magic can't fix everything. Sometimes you need medicine and... people who are better trained at medical stuff. People go to hospitals because the medics there are trained and they know what they're doing.

[darkcharge]

Ugh... Then what's the point in learning it at all if you're just going to need additional help in the end?

[callmeven]

Maybe because it's just good to know? If you're stuck somewhere without access to medicine or... or an experienced medic then it's useful.

[like helping those down in the cells with the worst of their injuries so they could be moved safely...]

[darkcharge]

[ Don't go there, Ventus. That sound suspiciously like you're going to accuse him of doing something nice. ]

Isn't that more their problem and not mine?

[callmeven]

[he would Never.]

I just meant in general, Vanitas. Who knows, maybe with all your practicing you'll become a medic one day too.

[darkcharge]

[ Liar. ]

No chance. I've been practicing or my own sake. No one else's.

[callmeven]

Better to practice for yourself than nobody I guess.

[he picks up a small bag of strawberries. they aren't really in season and so they're smaller than normal, but ven's always been fond of the sweet fruit.]

[darkcharge]

[ Van snorts. There's a little bit of silence before he just clicks his tongue against his teeth. ]

He taught me everything I know. [ "He" being Xehanort, of course. ] Just not that.

[callmeven]

'He' did?

[it doesn't click right away for him but when it does his steps falter a little.]

Master Xehanort... everything started with him, didn't it?
