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.

[goldenglasses]

I wonder what kind of flowers you would bloom. [He grabs a bit of dirt and tosses it at his brother.]

[arkfall]

Hey, don't waste that. [Knives protests, but he still scoops up some of his own to toss at Vash.]

And white lilies.

[goldenglasses]

True, I need to get some fertilizer to spread all over you first. [He teases with a snicker.]

White lilies, huh? I think that's a great flower.

[arkfall]

Think I could have one sprout out of the top of my head?

[goldenglasses]

Maybe if you try to think about it really, realy hard. Here, I'll help. [He scoops up a bit more dirt with the intention of dumping it onto his brother's head.]

[arkfall]

[Knives glares and moves to stand.]

Don't even think it...

[goldenglasses]

Think of what? This? [Yup. He's going for it. Knives better stand up quickly.]

[arkfall]

[Knives is usually the graceful one of the two, but the way his limbs move to get away now it's almost like he's flailing the same way Vash might.]

No!

[goldenglasses]

[Laughing so hard Vash doesn't care if any of it lands on his brother's head at this point.] What? Flowers need soil!

[arkfall]

I'm not actually a flower. [Of course, they both know that, and he's grinning more than anything.]

[goldenglasses]

Plants need water too. Hmm, maybe there's a pond around here I can throw you into.
