I should be the one to speak on it. But is it right if he is not the one I know of?

[Does she have the right if this version did not do this?]

Maybe you should.

[ He clicks his tongue. Vanitas squirms around until he can actually LOOK at Mira. ]

Even if he is not the same exact one that you know of? He still did it to someone else who is likely just as affected by it as you are.

[Oh look, eye contact. But there is a point. How did the others feel themselves when it happened to them? If it did at all? Were they hurt like her?]

I do not believe any of us wished for him to try and sacrifice himself for us. I can only speak for myself when I say that I am tired of others not only trying to make my choices for me but are fine throwing their lives away as such. Honor and nobility mean nothing to the dead in the end, let alone myself.

As good intentioned it may have been, it still was...

[Manipulation. As goodwilled it was, it was that.]

I wonder if his Warrior feels the same.

[ Augh he has that urge again. To do something to make that expression go away. To ward off the pain and hurt in her voice. He hates it. His fingers twitch with the need to do something.

Guh. He cares. Now that it's been pointed out to him and Vanitas has been forced to really think on it? It's so disgustingly obvious. ]

You need to tell them, Mira. If not the ones here then when you go back.

I do.

[But when will she be able to go back and speak on it? And how will she bring it up to G'raha here? And why is she nervous about it all?]

Nay, rather I will.

You need to do this for yourself.

[ Vanitas struggles for a moment. There's something that he should say... ]

A-and for the people that [ Groans ] care about you.

Like you and the 'old man'.

[She knows they do.]

...Yeah.

[ Can't even deny it now. ]

[It's endearing to be honest as she can't up but make a small smile at the admission. You two are her dumb boys and she wouldn't have it any other way and one arm pulls the boy into some kind of half hug.]

Thank you, Vanitas.

[ Vanitas, of course, leans into that half of a hug. He's finding that, maybe, more and more that he kind of. Likes it? ]

I didn't even do anything.

Talking does count as 'something'.

[Small bits of advice does work wonders.]

I'm just spouting out my opinions and the way I see things, Mira.

[ He doesn't see it as a big deal. ]

Considering who we have been talking about and the idea of communicating?

Yeah, I know.

[ He makes another noise. ]

And I couldn't talk to you about all that other stuff.

Better late than never?

But next time, the option of talking to me is available.

[ He shakes his head. ]

You deal with too many of my problems. Some things I need to figure out.

There is always simply talking to vent out frustrations. We all have those times where we need to do things on our own but being able to talk about them and not bottle them up, that is something worthwhile.

[And from experience. Esteem is that side of her which speaks her true thoughts. She understands the meaning of doing SOME things on your own but talking to someone, to let someone know your feelings...it helps more than one can imagine.]

I wasn't trying to bottle anything up. It was just weird to talk to you about these things when...

[ He shifts around uncomfortably. ]

When you caused them?

Because I made you get a feeling?

...I don't think you made me do anything. I allowed you to get close. Now I care and I guess I don't want to see you hurt. That's. All there is to it?

[That in turn gets Mira to chuckle softly and hug a little tighter.]

It's the same with you too.

[ Huff ]

Yeah, I guess so. For a while I thought you were putting up with me for the saie ofnit. Or because you probably pitied me or something.

Nay, you would have been able to tell if it were pity or something else back then. I doubt you would be here if that were the case.

[You are a gremlin but her gremlin son.]

Actually, I couldn’t. Not at first. Mostly because I couldn’t understand why you would take some brat you didn’t even know in. Now that I know you better, it is definitely because on the inside you’re a bleeding heart.

[ He doesn’t say this to be offensive of course. Mira does care and care a lot. She just has different ways of showing it. ]

Most would take that as an insult but better to have it rather than close it off. There's a risk with it, pain is no stranger to me but it's one I'll gladly take if I can simply feel.

[She gets it and probably the stories about how dark knights are broody loners too. And then they meet her.]
