(no subject)

[Young Xehanort seems a bit confused. Not by the sudden changing of scenery, or by the sudden rock and roll look that seems to have swept his wardrobe: he guesses clothes aren't supposed to do that, but doesn't have too much in the way of reference for it.

No. What's confusing him is the large plastic circle that just fell out of the sky on him. A brightly coloured hoop, to be precise.

He picks it up. Peers at it. Twists it around. What the heck is this supposed to be for?]

[Even, by contrast, is not in the slightest bit amused by the rock and roll craze that's swept through his wardrobe. As a matter of fact, he would have stayed inside today, were it not for the various demands of SCIENCE! He does stop a little to peer at his charge, though. He can't help it, really.]

[Puzzle. Puzzle. Glance at Even - oh, hey! He waves the hula hoop vaguely-]

What's this for?

[Alas, Even is not precisely up-to-date on the various kinds of things that might have been popular in any given era (unless it has to with science). Still, he recognizes the general shape of the thing, at the very least.]

I believe it's meant to be a toy of some manner.

Oh.

[Roll.]

It doesn't seem to do much.

No, it most certainly does not. But I doubt that will have proved detrimental to its creation, unfortunately.

[He doesn't seem put out by 'detrimental'.]

Why would someone make something like this?

[Pssh. Kid sees multiple worlds every time he walks out the door. Going to have to try harder than a hoop to impress him, toymaker.]

Perhaps they were drawn to the simplicity of it?

Maybe...

[He rolls it back and forth a couple of times again, experimentally.]

Unless you had a better idea as to its genesis?

Nope.

[He puts his head through it, now.]

Simple doesn't seem so fun to me.

Nor to me.

[Thoughtful pause.]

... what do you think's fun?

You truly need to ask?

[Huh. He guesses not.]

Sciency ... things? And books? Is that everything?

For the most part, yes.

Oh. Okay.

You are, however, free to find enjoyment in whatever you wish.

[~~Are you sure you should be telling a Xehanort that, Even?~~ He just gives a little bit of a nod.]

Um... thank you?

[~~He's just a kid. What can it hurt?~~]

You needn't thank me for that.

[~~Say that when someone convinces him darkness is a shiny plaything.~~]

... Oh. Right.

[~~He'll deal with that when it comes up.~~]

What you do is largely your choice.

Tha-

[pause. No, he just said no thank yous over that.]

Okay.

[Even nods at that.]

Now, the question remains, what should we do with this.

[He gestures to the hula hoop.]

... dunno.

[Sitting there with it over his shoulders like a big necklace.]

You do know that looks ridiculous, yes?

It does? ... Um, I mean, yes! Um.

[No sense of taste yet, this kid.]

It's far too large to be sensible.

So... if it was smaller it'd be sensible?

More sensible, at any rate.

[He gives a solemn nod. Big circles are not sensible. Smaller ones are an improvement. This is important.]

[Ah good. Lesson learned. :Dd]
