[So how's that for a drama bomb dropped on them...? If Minato's totally honest, he's not even remotely sure how to process it...
But as per usual, he copes with things by not coping with them. He's shoving all of those feelings under the rug to focus on the people here. Which means that when he sees Vanitas skulking about... he naturally has to come over.
Look, Vanitas, your least favorite person.]
Hey... are you doing okay?

[ SIGH! ]
What, it isn't obvious?
[ He tosses a smirk, and then stares down at his drink for just a seeecond longer than he intends. ]
Just peachy.

... Of course you did. You're way too much like one of them, after all.
[ He shakes his head and shrugs, a sort of ironic smirk on his lips. ]
Don't you have people you'd rather be actual friends with?
[ He shakes his head and shrugs, a sort of ironic smirk on his lips. ]
Don't you have people you'd rather be actual friends with?
[ He releases a sigh after a couple of seconds. ]
Right... There wasn't much point in asking that.
[ There's a pause as he goes over everything that could possibly have this guy coming to check on him. He's going to start wiiiiith: ]
For the record, that game doesn't bother me. [ CASUAL SHRUG ] Even if it comes down to needing to take on anyone here, it wouldn't be the first time I've fought to the death.

[The kitchen! Not a place that Minato is expecting to run into someone else, but when he sees Vanitas...
He pauses.
He's honestly not sure he's up for that abrasive personality, and yet...those flickers of something a bit sadder, a bit softer beneath it all means Minato's a little concerned even so. So quietly, he approaches Vanitas...and the coffee maker.]
... Any luck?
He pauses.

[ He is seconds from breaking it, when-- ]
Ah... Hey...
[ What's this? He's not greeting him rudely??? What's going on here...... ]
Ah... Hey...
[ What's this? He's not greeting him rudely??? What's going on here...... ]
[ That gets a soft snort. ]
If I did die here- [ a barely noticeable pause ] -it'd just be a repeat of what was already happening, back home. Dying itself doesn't scare me, and I'm incapable of giving a shit about anyone else.
[ Now he's giving a vague gesture. ]
... Granted, I fully intend to make use of this second chance.

[ Ah, there we go. There's the look of annoyance and the sigh and bristly glance to the side. ]
I've got it...
[ He doesn't got it tho... ]
I've got it...
[ He doesn't got it tho... ]
[ There's just a small, humorless smile. He's suddenly summoning the Keyblade, only to stare hard at it. ]
First, I'll be doing whatever I can to get away from here, behind-the-scenes game aside.
[ He doesn't care whatever happens to the rest of these people. He just needs to get out of here. ]

[ He shrugs. ]
And then there's the everything that's for me to know.
[ Welp, guess it's back to being cagey... ]

[ Long story short, after a series of fumbles and losing his patience, this is how Vanitas winds up with hot coffee spilled over his hand.
He hisses under his breath, looking ready to throw the mug...
... but focuses on just wiping his hand off on his shirt. Which is probably stupid because let's be real here: fresh burn rubbed against fabric isn't a good time. He's not reacting much beyond that initial hissing though... ]
All right, then. [ you can do it, Vanitas, you can do a reaching out, come on ] ... No coffee, it is.
[ vaNITAS... ]

[ He studies Minato for a moment. ]
Do you always give up so easily?
Do you always give up so easily?
... What?
[ He looks. Completely confused.
But he isn't moving away... and his burned (pretty badly, compared to how chill he's acting) hand is just kind of being held midair. ]
You have healing magic?

[ ...
His eyes narrow a bit, and then he looks away. ]
Fair enough.
[ There's the hint of an awkward air falling around him as he goes quiet. ]
