[ 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.]

[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]

[ 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]

[ 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. ]

[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. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Good! Right now he just wants to focus on the positive stuff.

Though eventually he does scoot back a little, breaking away from the hug. It's about then that he notices the fruit and lets out a quiet gasp. ...Whoops.

Now watch him try and sneak that into his pocket.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Sorry, Ven, she noticed that gasp more than anything else, so she's peering at him curiously. ]

A... paopu?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Ack! Nooooo--

Great. So now Ven is blushing like crazy... and still slipping that away. He even gives a sheepish laugh.]

Well, uh. I just happened to be in the area, so I thought I'd take it as a... souvenir?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Look at this disbelieving eyebrow rising. ]

A souvenir?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Yeah! A decoration. It looks like a star, after all.

[Nope, no awkward here.

...Okay yeah, there's awkward. Lots of it. Ven idly rubs at his cheek a bit. Girls don't like being pushed and all.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ At least she's giggling softly. ]

Not to eat, of course.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Uh. Well. Unless you wanted to.

[But it's...kinda an awkward thing to do after coming back from being dead.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

...in a few days, how about? I bet it'd taste pretty good with ice cream. I just need to settle in again.

[ She'd love to share one with Ven. Maybe it'd mean they'd both come back here, after everything is done in their worlds. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He nods, flashing another smile.]

Yeah, good idea! Besides, you just got back.

[And with that he'll get up to his feet, offering a hand.]

But if you want, I can help you get comfortable again. Maybe we can go hang out, too.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She takes it, of course. Her Keyblade is long dismissed, so no worrying about that. ]

I'd like that.
