[When the Gear flips on today, it isn't showing Vanitas, but it is showing a nice fall scene of Ecruteak's burnt tower. Mostly burnt, anyway.]

It has been a long time since I've been here again.

[Heather, you're getting a text at obscure hour of the night.]

Check your window.

[That was such a challenge, Heather.]

I'd like to see you try. Besides, remember that conversation where you challenged me to scare some big guy? You seem like the fairly unflappable type, so I decided to see about scaring you instead.

_{[She pauses, staring at him for a second and considering.]

[... And then.]}

That's not a good enough reason.

_{[...SHIT LOOK OUT VAN SHE'S COMIN FOR YA]}

[As funny as it was to watch her clamor out of the window, he knows well enough that the plank of wood is a weapon. Curling his mouth into a higher smile as he moved away out of reach, he let his hands fist.]

_{[She's climbing out of the window and reaching for a tree branch with her bare hand, one leg over the sill. She doesn't want to fall.]}

If you know what's good for you, you'll get your sorry butt out of here before I make it much further.

I haven't seen this expression on someone in a long while. I think I want to see just what you can do. [He could totally just shove her back into the window and laugh about it.]

_{[And she could yank him right out of the tree on her way back in. You don't mess with a Mason. Especially not one who's killed gods.]}

Your funeral.

_{[And then, without any further warning, she leaps off the sill and into the tree, grabbing for a springy branch-- it bends back towards her under her weight.]}

It's pretty hard to kill me. [His smile cranked up to the verge of crazy as he simply waited. Sure, Vanitas has fought a girl before, but Aqua is a little more lean and uses magic more than actually fistfighting; a good fistfight is honestly sounding fun right now.]

I'm pretty good at killing.

_{[... Not that she's actually, you know, planning on there being any killing tonight. But severe beating? SURE. She lets the branch go. It whips towards Vanitas with surprising force.]}
