[It's probably still strange, to see something like a smile on Xemnas' face. It's never quite certain whether or not the expression is genuine, but he seems pleased as she works through it. She didn't know the story, and thus didn't know the moral of it, but she was doing her best.

When she reaches her conclusion, the smile is still there, but he shakes his head slightly.]

An admirable try, and well-thought out! The scorpion speaks the moral of the story as it dies. 'It's my nature. I can't help it'. Nobody can change their nature. A scorpion will always be a scorpion, and a frog will always be a frog. Demyx will always be as he truly is, and I as I am meant to be. Likewise yourself. The fundamental nature of a being. He claimed to know who and what I was.

He was wrong.

[It comes with a gesture, light and spidering.]

One can extend it further, to say that to touch a scorpion is begging to be stung, as you say, but consider this, if one wishes to believe that route.

[He folds his hands, his smile a little fainter, a little more secretive.]

A scorpion's poison isn't strong enough to kill a frog, certainly not a large one. A scorpion can survive only minutes beneath the water. A frog can survive a very long time indeed, and may well shake the venom off before it needs to breathe again. Would knowing this, make the moral of the story different?
