If there was any word could describe his feelings right then, it would have to be sheer and utter boredom. Vanitas had been sent out to do missions for the past few days following he and Xigbar's sparring match, and the Unversed Lord absolutely hated it. Granted, the loyal Unversed that followed alongside him were good company. They helped him forget his ire, especially since they gladly offered themselves up for beatings when he needed to vent.

He looked up at the canopy of the forest he'd found himself in and scoffed under his breath. Well, he was definitely lost. He gave a kick to one of the Flood Unversed near his feet. The creature let out a little yip as it hit a tree, but then scampered off behind the bushes. The dark-haired young man had to resist a laugh. Good thing those creatures were practically indestructible.

"Tch, of course I get lost in a forest. Fucking pathetic..." he mumbled under his breath. He would have sighed, but fogging up his helmet's visor and running into a tree was not very high on his "To Do" list for the time being.

'Why am I out here?' Xion wondered for about the fifth time that night. Despite the Organization's explicit orders, she had gone out on her own to track the Unversed. She honestly couldn't see the harm in finding a few and and watching what they did. After all, recon was one of the most important aspects of her job, was it not? She had no doubts she would return to the castle with good reports. So imagine her surprise when the master of the Unversed, Vanitas himself, had managed to come across her radar! She'd followed him for several miles, and always had to keep at least several hours of distance between them so as not to get caught.

Him entering a forest made her task a bit simpler. There were lots of sounds in forests, lots of animals, etc. It was the perfect place to follow after him, as there were simply too many other predators for her to be spotted. For all Vanitas knew, she was just another hungry wildcat looking for a decent meal.
