[It takes a substantial couch to accommodate Kurt outside of his fully human form. But he's found one, in a warm common room with rich hangings on the walls and a blazing fire, and is gently flicking through a book, seemingly the most harmless a big old Heartless can be. Tricky with clawed fingers, but he's not so clumsy as to rip the pages.

Just something he found, left casually in his room as if it were any other possession.

A photo album.

He carefully picks through it; it's images of what look to be - his life here? Or ... a life he could have had here. Layla's childhood, his relationship - other children? He's interacting with young apparent-humans and Heartless who seem to share some of his traits...

A violent headshake and he throws the book aside, across the room. He's sure that the version of him who lived that life was happy.
But he's equally sure it's a life he can't live now.]

Precisely. You need not worry too much, here.

[agrabah_weapon]

Hah. Very well. [He gives a bit of a smile.]

[theheartofdarkness]

[There's a nod in return from Ansem.]

This form is new, I presume?

[agrabah_weapon]

Relatively. A few months, at most. I felt ... it was worth experimenting with such things.

[theheartofdarkness]

It suits you.

[agrabah_weapon]

Thank you. It was strange at first but I've rather grown to like it myself.

[theheartofdarkness]

Good.

[agrabah_weapon]

I'm curious. Have you ever tried - appearing otherwise? Though I can well understand that you'd have less of a reason to.

[Yeah, you, Mr. Humanface.]

[theheartofdarkness]

I have been less immediately human, on occasion. But past that, no.

[agrabah_weapon]

[He chuckles.] It might be a change of perspective if you ever desired such. I know I've seen things differently since I've learned the skill.

[theheartofdarkness]

I suppose I can consider it, if nothing else.

[agrabah_weapon]

It's merely a thought.

[theheartofdarkness]

Yes, and one worth consideration.

[agrabah_weapon]

[He nods, pauses.]

If I might inquire, what have you been up to lately? It's been a while.

[theheartofdarkness]

The usual, for the most part.

[agrabah_weapon]

Hah. The same. What ever changes?

[Except the obvious cosmetic ones.]

[theheartofdarkness]

Nothing of great worth, in a place like this.
