Waking Dahlia

"You don't say."

“You’re… Marluxia, aren’t you? Pink hair, captor of Namine, the guy who tried to over-throw Xemnas? Sora told me about you.”

"My name is Lumaria. I'm afraid if you're looking for Marluxia, he gained a heart. Not that I need the blasted thing."

“Excuse me! I listen to music with these headphones! Don’t you dare try to judge me! Asshole! I hate you!” He then stomped away from Lumaria. “Jerk….” he muttered underneath his breath.

"And immature to boot. My, my. And don't step on my flowers or you'll meet my scythe," he said as Neku stomped away towards one of the patches he'd planted.

“I don’t get people though. Never have, never will. So stay out of my way and we’ll be good.”

"Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if you had some kind of rehearsed recording in those earphones of yours. You're nothing but another child who doesn't think the world understands him. How droll."

“People only hold me back. So why should I ask them for help?”

"Hmm. Well, in your case you are a naive child who does not understand the value of having other people do your work for you, so I suppose trying to explain anything would fall on deaf ears."

“Another stranger. If you are lost, I’m afraid I don’t care to help you.”

“I don’t need your help anyways.”

"Good. I'm glad we're on the same page, at least."

#Well Lumaria is too :P

“I suppose that’s acceptable,” the curly sandy colored hair boy exclaimed. “Nice to meet you then Lumaria. Care to tell me where I am?”

"You are in Radiant Garden, however if you are lost, I doubt I am the best person to ask for directions."

“Hmm. I don’t know who you are. I suppose that means you’re not relevant.”

“We’re going to skip past the part where you tell me your name?” Joshua crossed his arms. “My name is Joshua.”

"Manners are only used when it's to my advantage, I'm afraid. However since you asked, my name is Lumaria."

"Larxene. It's been quite a while, hasn't it?"

"Ah, the keyblader who was lurking in Castle Oblivion's basement. I don't recall ever having the pleasure."

Well that wasn’t what she had been expecting… It was oddly peaceful and productive of him. Not violent, not cruel…

“Oh… That’s actually… nice,” she quietly muttered in mild shock.

"And chop off Heartless heads. It's fun. I'd say you should try it sometime, but I doubt you have the strength."

“Hmm…” It would seem that Marluxia hadn’t changed at all. From the sounds of things, he was heartless, even with a heart. She wasn’t sure what to think about that. It didn’t seem like a good situation at all…

“I don’t think I want to know how you’re spending your days…”

He held out a hand, a rose blooming. "I plant flowers here in Radiant Garden and punish those who decide it would be appropriate to step on them. Someone has to make this world less drab."

He regained his heart? …He regained his heart, and still seemed not to hold any kind of remorse or conscience for what he did to her… He still called her witch, after all.

“Oh…” she quietly muttered, doing her best to seem diminutive and not challenge him in anyway. “Well… Congratulations on your heart.”

"Whether I have a heart or not makes no difference to me," he said, not even paying attention to how small Namine was trying to make herself. He had gotten used to it in Castle Oblivion. "It is such a useless thing. And I do not need it to spend my days as I do now."

“… Why are you here?”
