I will. But I don't think you need to worry. Most of the inmates here seem to like me! And the others think I'm crazy and just stay away.

HAHAHAHAHA! Me! Crazy! No way!

[But it was true. For the short time Vash had already been in lock up most either got along with the gunman and the rest knew not to mess with the smiling, happy man.

[arkfall]

Oh yes, you come off as completely and utterly sane.

We have that in common, you and I.

[goldenglasses]

Must be a twin thing. [Knvies can't see it, but it's probably not hard to imagine Vash winking here.]

[arkfall]

We were bound to have it again someday, I suppose.

[goldenglasses]

I hear sanity is overrated anyway.

[arkfall]

I wouldn't know, been a while since I had mine.

Anyway, most we have to compare ourselves to is human psychology, and I doubt any of that applies. Unless we start a new form of medicine here with all the nonhumans around.

[goldenglasses]

Ugh. No. That sounds like waaaaayyyy too much work.

[arkfall]

Didn't you want me to find a hobby?

[goldenglasses]

[...] True... I mean if you really want to.

[arkfall]

Why not?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash hums for nearly a full minute. Trying to decide if he really should say what he's thinking.] You want my honest opinion on why it might be a bad idea?

[arkfall]

Yes.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash sighs and lets it out slowly. Hoping this won't go badly.] Because I don't think looking for difference between humans and others will actually help you. I think it might just drive you further down the path you were going down before.

Although... [Because he doesn't want to completely rain on a hobby Knives may enjoy.] Knowing more about our health could be good. It could be really helpful to us and others in fact. So long as it's about fact gathering rather than how things are comparatively different.

[arkfall]

Then it's not the concept you are opposed to, just the goals.

[goldenglasses]

I don't want you following the same obsession that tore us apart back home. [Not when things felt like they were finally slowly getting better.]

[arkfall]

Then...

If I do it to better understand us and use a human... ally... to do it. Would that be acceptable?

[goldenglasses]

[Did Knives use the word ally and not underling!?] Yeah, that might work. Probably won't hurt to give it a try at least.

[arkfall]

Then I'll look into it.

I doubt there are any reputable psychologists here.

[goldenglasses]

I dunno! There's a lot of interesting people in this city. You might find one.

[arkfall]

I might.

In the meantime, are you sure you're okay?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah. I am. Promise. Besides if I am getting into any trouble you'll be the first to know when they send you my citation.

[arkfall]

I suppose I will be. Now, you were trying to get me to go to sleep weren't you?

[goldenglasses]

More thinking we both should, but yeah. I guess I was.

Sleep well brother.

[arkfall]

You too, Vash.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is slow to close the link. Surprised by how much of a comfort just feeling his brother so close was. Especially without any of their sisters here. Eventually the link will close as Vash drifts off to sleep.

And Knives will likely be pleased that no citations will be showing up.]
