A failure perhaps, but not one to be tossed aside currently. You might find him full of useful knowledge of this world. There is no reason to discard a tool if it still might be put to use. If you do not wish to make use of him then I will.
[They weren't exactly the same right now but if all went well in the near future they would be. Xemnas was content with that. They didn't spend decades working on a plan just to drop the ball now.]
Would that the X-Blade have been successful, none of this would have been required. Still, what is done is done. If this world remains stable there is a far more suitable vessel to be found than even Sora.
[A moment's pause.] .. It would, yes. There is a species I can acquire with reasonable ease called 'growlithe', a sort of fire breathing canine. In their unevolved state they are as small as a dog, but their evolved form is larger than most horses. They are known for their defensiveness and absolute loyalty. One such creature would serve as both guardian and steed, against any threat that rose up.
It is not a station I myself can take. I do not know how long I will be able to rule the heart I have been given, and I would prefer not to become an active threat to you myself. This creature would defend yourself as actively against me as against a hostile creature. It seems ideal for your immediate needs.
[Admitting weakness. It's never fun. But he hadn't expected to have a heart and Xehanort didn't have his keyblade to get rid of the thing, so he'd have to plan for his own possible defection.
... It's not overplanning. Not in their line of work.]
