I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendor of mine own.
[The feed continues as Xemnas closes the book he has in hand, glancing up at the NV after a moment of pause.]
...There is never a dull moment.
[In the background, across a desk full of paperwork, a cat stalks elegantly until she decides to settle right in the middle of it all. Apparently it doesn't take much to keep her content. For now.]
Perhaps one can even call it 'eventful' - a fitting pace for a city such as Siren's Port. It is typical considering the demographic of the populace. [Of course, he then considers what he has recently heard/seen on the Network.] Then again, I suppose it varies from person to person.
And, like most, I still find myself busy with all that has been happening. And I do not expect anything less.

...That also can change at any given moment.
[Surely he means that in the past tense, but there is no need to correct that.]

[Because seriously, do you really want Demyx as your #3?]
video;
True. Very true.
I do not intend for our number to go down that path again.

You could avoid it by turning over a new leaf.
But I guess people like us aren't real good at change.
video;
No. Not always.
Personally, it has been far too long a time to turn away from what has already been set. Your existence in comparison has made the transition easier.

[Oh, boss please.]
Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?

[The sharpness of the tone fades back into cold neutrality.]
...That is your choice. It will not matter to me if you do or do not. I know I do not need your sympathy.

[But he wonders sometimes. He really does.]
What do you need?

Awfully thoughtful of you. But there's not much to tell.
[Sure there is.]
video;
[Details. He knows you have them.]
video;
[How do you like that, boss?]
video;
Nothing out of the ordinary, then.
video;
Nothing at all.
video;
Very well then. It will have to do.

Is that all? Or is there more you wanted to know?
video;
I could relent and be satisfied with your conciseness...but it all depends on what you're willing to divulge.
I can start asking questions.

[What could you possibly want to know that matters?]
video;
[Everything matters. Even if Roxas is not actively a part of them, the connection is strong and ever so present.]
But I suppose they can be saved for another time.
