I'm one step further than when we last spoke, Franziska.

[Vanitas curls his palm shut to block the view of the badges then as he lifts the Gear, regarding the screen with a rather smug look.]

How many badges do you have?

[His tone was making it seem like he was asking more than just Frannie about her badge collecting; Vanitas almost appears as if he wants to hear about others as well. Competition, as it was.]

It isn't. A runt tried using him against me and he decided to fight for me instead.

Without a single bit of convincing from your part?

The only convincing I did was fight him hand to hand. [Yes. Vanitas fought his psycho Charizard with his fists.] He decided that I was better when I was able to keep up with him, and tossed his old trainer over the fence into the ocean.
