No one said you had to rejoin him the second time.
[ Though he makes no comment on Xigbar knowing what it feels like. Vanitas' own recollection of that pain is fleeting at best. After all, that technically happened while he had still been Ventus. Though he knows very well what a shattered heart feels like ]
Like I would do what you told me to do anyway. [ A huff. Vanitas runs his hand through his hair as if that will remove any and all traces of gramps' touch. ] You'd probably try to get me to do something weird.
Kid, before we leave this world, I’m gonna take you to an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet.
[ He’s already been snooping around for quick, easy food, so that will be a Thing.
As for the question, he shrugs. ]
Just stupid things people with hearts usually care about. You know, like fitting in and being a ~respectable~ member of society. There’s always this pressure to conform, and I got scolded plenty of times for not being the way other people wanted or expected.
Needless to say, I stopped caring about it a while ago.

[ He had his reasons, none of which he plans on sharing. The point is, he's not blind to the problems here.
He does chuckle at the last part, though. ]
'Something weird', huh? And how do you define that, exactly?
no subject
Something I wouldn't be caught dead doing.
no subject
Like what? Eating pizza?
[ He shakes his head. ]
Didn't realize junk food was a death sentence, but fair enough.

[ Come on Xigbar. You know this child has next to no experience with anything a regular teenage should have. ]
Right now I'm wondering if you were this strange as Braig or if losing yourself so many times created this personality quirk.
no subject
[ He's very aware of this, yes. It's why they're having this conversation.
As for the other comment, he just waves a hand dismissively. ]
Nope. Haven't really changed all that much. I just care a lot less about certain things.
[ Losing your heart with do that. ]
no subject
[ Xigbar. You can't just use words that he doesn't know to further explain what he already doesn't know. Things don't work out like that. ]
Like what things.

[ Forget about Xigbar being weird. Or the fact that the guy is so strange and virtually unreadable...
What's up with him all of the sudden being somewhat decent to him? ]
no subject
New world, new rules, kid. No reason to be stuck in a rut when the roles we played are done now.
[ A darkness corridor rolls up from the ground, and with a jaunty wave, he walks towards it. ]
Just drop me a line sometime if you ever want that pizza.
[ And with that, he is gone. ]
