[ There is a Vanitas passed out facedown in the hallway, his Keyblade a few feet away from him. He doesn't look particularly beat up, but he's definitely unconscious. ]

[He was just minding his own business, exiting the beach room with a paopu, but--

Wait.

What?

Okay, he's skeptical about a random Vanitas in the hall. But maybe...

Yep, he's going to approach this here Van and give him a light tap on the shoulder, juust in case.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ He doesn't move at first, but after a moment, he lets out a quiet grunt and pushes himself up onto his elbows. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He'll slide back a little, just to be cautious. Still...]

You okay?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

...not a question I'd expect from you.

[ He hasn't quite realized where he is, nope. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He hesitates. He better get this out of the way, just in case.]

... Kairi?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Hah, look at his head jerk up at that, the armor very quickly fading away to reveal that it is indeed Kairi, and she's launching herself at him. ]

Ven!

1/2

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Whoa--

[That was abrupt. And kinda shocking.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...And after a second, Ven wraps his arms around her, completely forgetting that silly fruit. Here, have an extra tight derp hug.]

...You're back.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I'm back.

[ And she's so incredibly relieved to be. And possibly a bit teary-eyed. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[That's okay. He might be a bit teary himself. It's been over a week, and the last time he saw her, she was dead.]

I missed you.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I missed you, too.

[ So very much, especially every time she had to see the Ven in her world. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad you're you. What I did... it wasn't easy. Especially after I--

[...No, it's fine now. He shakes his head, giving a weak little smile.]

Well, that doesn't matter now. You're here, and that's what counts.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She's going to drop that for now, if only because she's too happy about being back to bring the conversation down again. ]

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

[Layla should know not to just go up to random Vanitae by now. But this one's hurt, and feels...
... familiar.

She crouches down nearby.]

Hey?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ That voice is just vaguely familiar enough to get him to stir and he pushes himself up slightly. He doesn't speak just yet, however. ]

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

Are you okay there?

[She gives a little bit of a frown.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ ...That is not a voice he can pinpoint toward anyone back home. ]

I'm fine.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[She sits back.]

That's. That's good.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

You're...

[ He could say a name, or "familiar", or anything there... but instead she lets the armor drop. Have that yellow-eyed Kairi~. Though her hair is all red, instead of mixed with black like before. ]

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

I thought it was you! [She nearly laughs.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

So I'm back in the dressing room, huh?

[ She seems quite relieved by this. ]

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

[An enthusiastic nod, especially picking up on that relief:]

Yeah. You are. Did you have to go away? Home?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I... yeah. Because I'd finished changing, and the person I became was dangerous... someone had to kill me, and then I went back.

[heartofthesands.livejournal.com]

[Her face falls.]

I'm ... sorry. I'm just glad you're here and okay now.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

So am I.
