[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.

[arkfall]

If you do, I'm taking you down with me.

[goldenglasses]

I'd like to see you try! [He says with a laugh.] But I'll wait to dunk you in until after these are planted.

[arkfall]

Good.

You put the dirt down too, and we'll focus on keeping these children alive.

[goldenglasses]

I'm excited to see them grow. [He brushes his hands free of dirt to show Knives that he's surrendering.]

[arkfall]

[Knives settles back near the planting area and focuses on finishing the task.]

You'll be able to see some of that today.

[goldenglasses]

Are you sure we should? [He frowns briefly once more.] I don't want you to use up too much of your energy.

[arkfall]

You can do it instead.

[goldenglasses]

If I go too far? Or, well, you won't let me go too far, will you?
