I don't want to do that, Knives. I enjoy having dinner with you. I have been enjoying spending time with you and learning about... [He trails off. Trying to think of the right way to word what he wants to say.] ...being us, but what else can I do? What other action can I take so you understand what you've done is wrong?
Partly because I don't know what happened back home. Maybe I have? You said that you've died back home so... I dunno... [He shrugs. Not really having a good answer.]
Or maybe it's because you knew this time it was wrong. You went behind my back, Knives. You lied to me. You said you've changed and yet here you are still killing as your first answer to a problem you have. What will you do if something like this happens again? Wait for our contract to expire once more?
[Vash hums softly. Not according to this city he didn't. He only had the power he did because of their personal relationship and what if that changed?]
So, what will you do, Knives? If a public punishment ever happens again?
And if you ever do something like this again, Knives? Next time then I will call the authorities and I'm not sure when I'd ever be ready to speak to you again. [He tries to sound sure of himself, but it's a lie. He'd forgive his brother over and over again.]

[A part of him still hates to do this.] I still think that maybe I shouldn't come over for dinner for the next... [He has no idea.] Month.
