That was a lot of information all at once that was promptly filed away for further investigation. He hadn't considered checking to see if his powers were working. His smile never wavered.

"I'm standing here looking at a beautiful lake. That's enough isn't it?"

Demyx ran down her checklist as he processed it. "A break from work sounds nice, actually. I'm not sure who I should be concerned about seeing here."

She looked at the lake. "I suppose it is," she said after a long moment. It was, really.

"I suppose you could see this as a vacation if you wished."

"If I'm unable to leave for a time, I'll take it like that." Demyx answered, still processing the thought.

If he had up and vanished, the Superior was going to be pissed. There would be consequences. He didn't really care for consequences.

"There really isn't anyone at home to miss, so you don't have to worry about my well-being or anything." He said thoughtfully. There weren't that many of them left, for as close as they could be called.

"I have been the last of my kind for a very long time. I was not in the least worried about that. You are like smoke, you are a mayfly. In the time it takes me to blink, you will be gone. Why should I then hurt my heart by allowing it to care?"

"I don't know. You can't ask me much about advice on what to do with your heart, I haven't got one." Demyx shrugged. "You're probably right about that though, that I could disappear. A lot of my coworkers have already."

He sighed softly. He didn't want to disappear, but could anyone really blame him?

"I'm not the only one of me, but half of our numbers are gone already."

"I'd trade if I could, having a heart has done me little good, perhaps my life would be more interesting if I csred less." She put her hands behind her back and started walking slowly alongside the water. "How have they been vanishing?"

She wasn't supposed to care. She tried to tell herself that she didn't. And yet, here she was, playing 'what would the Doctor do?'.

"No. You really wouldn't." Demyx said firmly, because she had no idea what she was talking about.

He sighed softly. "Killed, that's how. Even we don't just vanish into nothingness, at least, not until we die."

He smiled and shrugged, it wasn't like he could be sad about the loss.

"I see. Well, killed or old age, the space between is short." She couldn't be sad about it either. "You are smoke, you are a mayfly. I can only presume the others are as well."

"If it's all the same, I'd rather not die anytime soon." Demyx pointed out, his survival instincts were sharp and pressing.

"Even if I was never meant to be."

She shrugged, but glanced over her shoulder at him. "Never meant to be?"

No, Me, do not get curious....

"Yeah, not supposed to exist, that's how I meant it." Demyx said vaguely. "But I'll take what I can get!" He beamed at her.

"I don't understand," she said simply.

"I mean, what I am is not a thing that should be. At least, that's what the smarter people say." He waved his hand. Whatever rhetoric passed for the foundations of Organization XIII was long memorized.

"So, I do what I can with the time I have. Including walking in the water."

"I'm not a thing that should be either," she said, though she was unsure why. "I was meant to have died billions of years ago, and yet here I am. If you are going to live so much longer than you were supposed to be, perhaps it is time to become one of those smarter people, and show them just what you can be. It is more effective than playing about in the pond."

"Maybe I want to play in the pond." Demyx responded. He smiled at her and offered a shrug. "I don't think I can get to smart. Clever, maybe." He was already plenty clever, but he was intellectually outmatched by many of his peers.

As much as a flaw that it was, he leaned into it because he was less suspicious that way.

"I don't get to be in the sun very often, or get much of a break, especially lately. So, I don't think playing in the water is that much a waste of my time. You should try it, it's relaxing."

"With enough effort and time, anyone can excel at anything. But not if you refuse to even try." She shrugged as well, hands tucking behind her back. "I suppose there is some merit to it, if you have been working hard. I however, have long since grown bored of relaxing. After thre first million years of solitude it does become tedious."

"Not everyone can be good at everything. I learned a long time ago to put my effort where my talents are."

He groaned a little at the mention of work.

"It's been nothing but work since the loss of some of our members."

Demyx seemed to ponder for a moment, what all that solitude would do. "I don't think I could be quiet that long! I'd have to talk to someone!"

"I didn't say everything, I said anything. Very few people have enough time for everything, even I have things yet to learn, to master."

"When you are alone that long, there is always someone to speak to, of course," she said, her brows raised. After all, sometimes even among others speaking to herself was the only way to have an intelligent conversation.

"I like talking to people, even if they ignore me." He said in a chipper tone.

"I would rather spend my time learning more pieces and composing music, that's what I would do if I could do anything." He nodded a bit. "But, since I can't, and this break will probably be short, the water is a good alternative."

"I like water. I'm well-tuned to it."

Well tuned.... was that meant to be a joke? Have the dryest look someone stepping in water could ever give.

"If you wish to spend your time on music, do so. There is nothing to say that you cannot."

"I only have as much free time as my Superior allows, and lately it's not much." He shrugged lightly and motioned to the water.

Nothing.

Demyx frowned and did it again. The simplest of movements was supposed to make the water bend to his will, and could prove a cool trick to show Me.

It wasn't working.

"Did I burn out?" He looked at his hands, puzzled. He didn't feel like he'd been drained of his magic.

"Your superior isn't here. Few of us, apparently, have anyone we know here, and in some cases, like mine, we may know someone, but they do not know us. This world is different. But you will adjust. Everyone does, as near as I can tell."

"He's not here?" Demyx mused on that. "Yeah, but I bet he could still find me."

Their Organization was based upon that reason, there was no way out.

"But a little break won't do any harm, right?" He grinned, well he'd pay for the consequences later.

"Believe what you wish, I certainly can't stop you."

She shrugged.

"I cannot say, but I see none."

"It's a thing, let me worry about it." He smiled and shrugged.
