He is weak and pathetic.

Well... yeah. He's human, but he's still Legato and he's still better than most.

He mentioned you were use to another Legato. Did we not save him in your world?

We.

You and I both?

[Vash can sense the surprise at that idea. Knives laughs then, amused at the absurdity of it all.]

Of course. You and your Knives do everything together.

And you probably enjoyed slaughtering all of those perverted lecherous men.

Let me guess, Legato is like a son to you? You and your brother play at a happy family with a pathetic human son who will die and rot away into nothing before either of you see a full head of black hair.

I think saying I enjoyed the slaughter is a bit too far, but I can't say they didn't deserve what they got. We probably ended their miserable lives too quickly for what those vile humans did.

And son might be a bit too far too. [The thought makes Vash recoil just slightly. Legato was more like a beloved pet.]

So you know what happened with Legato, but I wasn't there? Did you kill him in your world then? Hm, no, that can't be right. You named him. He didn't have a name before that for us.

He was mine and mine alone.

So is that why you dislike my Legato? Because we share him?

He was sniffling and pathetic. Did you raise him to whine?

No, but waking up in a city that makes him relive the worst moments of his life? I think he's allowed to whine just a little bit so long as it doesn't break his spirit completely.

The Legato who was here before had the same childhood and yet he didn't whine and cry when he arrived.

Did he? Our times are clearly different so maybe he didn't have the exact same childhood.

Regardless; I would appreciate it if you don't terrorize him. I'll tell him to stay away from you if that is what you like but I don't want him afraid for his life should you two cross paths.
