[How convenient, then, that there's a Ventus walking right on by. He looks a little bit bummed and is a touch distracted, so he hasn't noticed Vanitas just yet.]

[Well he's just going to ~~creep on after~~ follow while Ventus looks distracted, remaining silent.]

[The sad part is that after all this time he still manages to get sneaked up on by Vans.]

It's not fair..

What isn't fair, Ventus? [~~Right behind you creeping in your ear.~~ Stops almost directly behind him, looking harmless.]

[Dot dot dot... what.]

[When did he...?]

Vanitas.

[He's guessing it's not Kairi, but pardon him if he looks suspicious here.]

[Silent, as if waiting for an answer.]

[He huffs and turns away. Sorry, Vanitas, but you'll have to try harder to get him to explain.]

[Shifts and leans against the wall then, crossing his arms.] Explain what you meant, Ventus.

Why d'you want to know?

[Well dont mind the Namine over here watching him cautiously. She knows about these guys.

And he might notice the unusual amount of light she has too.]

[Interesting amount of light, but she isn't Ventus. He's not even looking her way. He is, however, going to keep a mental note about this girl with so much light..]

[Well she's just watching him with a small frown, but isn't about to follow him. She knows better than to do that.]

[Smart girl, not following him. Pauses at the end of the hall and looks back, snorting once.] Good choice, Princess. [So much light leads him to that conclusion.]

[Her frown deepens at that and she doesn't answer. She has no plans to get mixed up with a guy like this unless he tries to hurt someone. Then she'd have something to say about it.]

...

[Chuckles at that frown, then keeps walking.]

[ Here's a Ventus, there's a Ventus, everywhere's a Ventus. But not really, since the blond that's going down the hallway doesn't even look at Vanitas. ]

[... Where the hell did all of your light go, Ventus? Falls into step behind the blond, increasing his stride to easily catch up. He'll just follow for now, still trying to figure out about that empty feeling where 'Ven' should have light.]

[ ~~If the subject fails to respond--~~ Roxas realizes, after a moment, that he's being followed and looks over his shoulder. ... not knowing who he is, he just quickens his step, hoping he goes away. ]

[Oh what a fun game. Walking directly behind him, there's no mistaking that he is just.. being amused by that quickened step. No, Vanitas isn't laughing, but his presence alone was entertained.]

In a hurry, Ventus?

[ The odd name makes him stop. He hasn't met a Ventus before, or a Vanitas, or anyone from that time, so he just stops, turns around and, with a confused tone in his voice... ]

That's not my name.

Really now. [He stopped just before the blond, his head tipping.] Would that be why you lack any light at all? [That does answer one question, and open a can of new ones.]

Yeah, really.

[ He tipped his head to the side, as if he could see straight through that helmet. ]

I'm a Nobody. Nobodies don't have light or darkness.
