[Now that the residents of Songerein are settling in it seems that a group of uncanny key kids (and a few others) have come together to make a nice little collection of connecting treehouses. The houses are dreamed up and put together with a patchwork of wooden bridges and boards and spruced up with fairy lights that glow and hang from the rafters. The treehouses are high in the canopies of thick trees and the balcony sections are open and breezy for any visitors to come to walk up the steps and see.

Down below the treehouses on the ground seems to be a rather flourishing garden of sunflowers. Where they come from or how they sprouted is still unclear. But it is joined with a rather chubby-looking chicken that pecks at the ground occasionally. Along with the grazing chicken, there seems to be a whoosh of dragonfly wings as a large dragonfly has taken to the treehouse as a home too. And what is this? It seems they might have a small collection of blue birds that won't leave the house alone. What other creatures are out and about?

Dreammotion energy seems to be strong around the treehouses. As the trees house a collection of boys with vivid and wild imaginations. Sometimes lights will flicker brighter or plants will bloom with various strange flowers. And the smell of baking chocolate and cookies is always in the air.]

So what you're telling me is that I need to figure out how to hold back...

[ Do you have any idea what you're asking him to do? Or what it means to have Vanitas actually consider it.

He doesn't like holding back. ]

[noblegarnet]

[He tilts his head, considering.]

Mmm, not exactly.

[If Vanitas enjoys going all out, Ferran's not going to criticize him for that preference.]

It's more about... not being pressured into feeling like doing less than your absolute best is failing.

[darkcharge]

[ What a thing to struggle to understand, right? ]

I don't really get it. But whatever. It's not like I'm about to refuse.

[noblegarnet]

[They all have their struggles, some more depressing than others... Still, Ferran can always acknowledge the effort that's being made, and especially not being brushed off.]

I appreciate it.

[It turned out that thing swiping his journal had a pretty decent outcome, in his view. Where is it, anyway? He'll have to give it another pat before he leaves...]

[darkcharge]

[ The journal is still there on the countertop. Nothing's run off with it this time at least. ]

Yeah yeah.

[ His fingers tap on the table for a minute. ]

You know... For a guy that doesn't remember much about me, if at all, you're really starting to fixate.

[noblegarnet]

[He's "starting to fixate," is he? Hm. Perhaps it seems that way. Without letting his demeanor drop into anything too somber, he simply remarks:]

Most people I knew had already left by the time it was all over, back in that other world. I didn't have much to look forward to.

[So maybe, now that he's had the chance to come here and meet with a friend again, he is fixating on one of the bright points in his life. The few possibilities he has. He can't take that for granted.]

Just because the details are hazy doesn't mean I can't remember how I felt, you know. I'm done wasting time worrying about it.

[darkcharge]

[ Vanitas doesn't really mean anything by it, oddly enough. He's just... Vanitas. This is just how he behaves. A little defensive, but mostly just trying to needle just a little. ]

That sounds like something Sora says. "Even if I forget, my heart won't." That sort of thing.

[ He uh. Might be smiling. Just a little. ]

[noblegarnet]

[Ferran makes a noise in the back of his throat, leaning his head back to look at the ceiling almost as if recoiling from the idea. Only in jest of course, but still.]

Don't compare me to him. He's so... embarrassing.

[Apparently he hasn't completely let go of his pride...]

[darkcharge]

[ That entire display makes Vanitas burst into laughter. Yeah, it's in jest. It's over the top, but that's fine. ]

He really is, huh? I tell him that all the time and he just doesn't care.

[noblegarnet]

[There's a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth at Vanitas's response.]

Yeah, well. He's got more feelings than sense, that's for sure.

[After a moment, though, Ferran gets to his feet, stepping over to pick up his journal.]

I've probably bugged you enough for now.

[darkcharge]

True enough.

[ Because to Sora, acting on his feelings only makes sense. Vanitas doesn't understand it and he never will. But that's neither here nor there. He's looking up now as Ferran goes to pick up the journal. ]

I mean you're going to keep bugging me, right? So why force it all into one visit.

[noblegarnet]

Exactly. I can't have you getting tired of me just yet, so I have to spread it out.

[With his journal in hand, Ferran gives Vanitas a casual wave as he heads out.]

See you later.
