Is your nose broken? You can't get a good whiff of that nightmare energy coming through?

[ Yes, he is taunting Riku. No, he doesn't really care that he is either. Vanitas and Riku are both here for the same reason. They are going to get on well enough to at least work together. But that doesn't mean that Vanitas is going to refrain from giving the other a hard time when and where he can...

Especially since he knows that this isn't easy. If the leak could be so easily found, then the whole ordeal wouldn't have happened to begin with. There wouldn't have been a need to act and there wouldn't be a need to try to figure out what went wrong.

Vanitas, himself, favors sabotage. He has no idea what Riku is thinking as he walks around, a couple of Floods at his heels. ]

[Riku cuts Vanitas a Look for a moment, and looks down at the fissures and leak.]

Let's just get this done.

[and he'll start working his dreamotion on it again, half waiting for Vanitas' help before he uses more.]

[darkcharge]

Fine, fine. Spoilsport.

[ Vanitas kneels by the leak. He takes a deep breath and places his hand above the cracks. From this point he is going to start to manipulate the nightmare energy. ]

[Riku's just going to roll his eyes, and then as Vanitas manipulates the nightmare energy, he's going to use dreamotion and his own abilities to patch the leak.]

Not the first time anyone's called me that.

[Sora calls him this... all the time...]

[darkcharge]

[ Riku can't see it, not with the protective suit. But Vanitas knows. He can feel how it is gripping at his hand. How the nightmare energy must be effecting it even now. But Vanitas is still keeping that to himself as much as possible. ]

I bet not. Just... Hurry.

[retrieves]

[he nods. since it's more intense than the other one, it takes him a little longer... but then he's done.

he exhales and then shakes his head, getting up from his crouched position.]

You good?

[darkcharge]

[ This one is actually leaking more than the previous one. And that... That is a little bit more for Vanitas to handle, especially getting more directly involved as he is.

Already he is frowning. Jaw tight.

And when Riku is done, he snatches his hand back like it's been burned. Shakes it out. ]

Just fine.
