KNIVES! [Vash sounds livid when his voice suddenly booms into his brother's head.] Did you really give Legato orders to bring me home!?

You haven't come home.

You-- You did!! You can't DO that Knives! You can't decide when I do and don't come home! That's not your choice to make! [Technically in Duplicity yes it is, but that's not the lesson Vash is hoping Knives will learn.]

And you could have asked me to come home first!

Sending Legato is me telling you to come home. He is an extension of me, an amplifier of my needs.

Yeah, well, he was willing to hurt someone to follow your orders. So do me a favor and don't do that again. Call me. Either between us or on my phone. Don't send Legato after me.

Why would he have to hurt someone if you simply came with him?

Because you can't just order me around Knives! I don't have to come when you call! [Again this city says otherwise thanks to that tattoo on Vash's neck, but he's still trying to make a point.] I am your brother and not your servant. I will almost always come home if you just ask me, but I won't or can't always drop everything I'm in the middle of to do that!

Wrong. You are mine. You signed a contract and willingly made yourself bound to me. You, like Legato, belong to me. If I send one submissive to retrieve another you've no right to complain.

I do NOT belong to you! I am not something that you own and neither is Legato! We're people, Knives! Treat us like your friends and family and not as things.

You are family, but that doesn't make you belong to me any less.

That's wrong! You're wrong, Knvies! Why do you think you own me? You don't.

Why wouldn't I?

Because it's not right! I shouldn't have to explain why.

You willingly gave yourself to me to protect others. Should I perhaps be the one to collect you now?

It sounds like Legato failed at his task.

Don't do this Knives. I'll come home when I'm ready. You don't need to send anyone after me anymore.

I want you to come home now.

And I think we need some space right now. I'll be home later.

No. You and Legato should return home.

No. I have things I need to do and you can't always get what you want all the time Knives.

So I'll be home later. Around ten.

Then I'll come get you.

You come after me and I'll stay away from you longer. Just give me some space! [In fact Knives may feel that his brother, who once was close to home, suddenly is turning away and walking away.]

Just come home, Vash. No one else needs to get hurt due to your stubbornness.

No one needs to get hurt if you stop being a baby.

If you're not hurt then I'll see you tomorrow morning. I'm camping out tonight. Maybe tomorrow you'll be more clear headed again.
