It's not dangerous. It uses part of what we have left, though.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash sits back onto his heels. Thinking over his brother's words.] Then-- isn't it better if we don't use it? Knives-- you... [His eyes flick briefly up towards his brother's black hair before returning to the plants.] ...you don't really have a lot left.

[arkfall]

I don't.

I'm pretty sure this place won't let me die, though.

[goldenglasses]

That's no reason to test it! What if it suddenly stops reviving people!?

[arkfall]

[He shrugs. Once again he seems bored with the topic.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash frowns.] You shouldn't shrug something like that off so easily.

[arkfall]

I'll be careful if it makes you feel at ease.

[goldenglasses]

I mean... it would, but I'd feel even more at ease if you were doing it for yourself as well.

[arkfall]

That isn't going to happen, Vash.

[goldenglasses]

You never know what the future holds. Maybe one day it will.

[arkfall]

[Knives raises his brow at Vash.] The future is either here or some other terrible pocket world that uses others for experimentation. Hardly worth seeing.

[goldenglasses]

That's not the only options. We could find another place to go. There are hundreds of worlds that this place pulls from. Maybe you could go to any of those instead.

[arkfall]

And then do what?

[goldenglasses]

Live your life. Relax a little. Find some hobbies you enjoy. Start a garden of your very one! One as big as a forest!

[arkfall]

[He makes a sort of dark, amused sound.]

So... you want me to do the thing I wanted to do at the very start? Hm? Find a nice quiet world and build a paradise there?

[goldenglasses]

[..........]

Build a paradise? Yes. Murder to get what you want? No. You just took the idea to the wrong extreme back home.

[arkfall]

Some murder is justified. But I agree, I took it too far.

[goldenglasses]

No. Murder is never justified. [Vash stops his digging to look at his brother as he makes that statement.]

[arkfall]

[Knives sighs and rubs his forehead, smearing dirt against his head.]

Yes. Of course.

[goldenglasses]

[He wants to continue this argument, but seeing that dirt on his brother's head makes him laugh. He wants today to be a good day so he lets it drop in order to laugh.] You do know we're not here to plant you today, right brother?

[arkfall]

[Knives just looks confused.

But he does find that he likes the sound of the laughter.]

Aren't we? Maybe I can soak up all the nutrients from the soil.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash stares for a bit. Unable to tell if that is a joke or if it was actually possible.] Is-- do you think that's something we can actually do?

[arkfall]

[Knives chuckled despite himself.] No. If it were that easy to recharge us, humans would be burying our sisters all the time.

[goldenglasses]

I mean; that would have been really handy if it was that easy. I promise I would have come by to water you every day.

[arkfall]

[That gets a full laugh out of him, and he's surprised by how normal it sounds.]

Good. Fresh water, sunlight, other plants to keep me company. Maybe that's what I want as a retirement.
