You can't sense what they need?

[goldenglasses]

Eh, well, I haven't really tried to sense it.

[arkfall]

Maybe we can work on that next.

[goldenglasses]

What do I need to do? Sit around and... I dunno, hum or something?

[arkfall]

It's more like... listening.

[goldenglasses]

Do the Plants here talk like our sisters? Is that what I should be listening for?

[arkfall]

No. Not like that. They don't have thoughts. You'll feel more of an urge than a whisper.

[goldenglasses]

More of an urge. [He repeats. Wanting to get it correct and to learn from this.] I'll have to try to listen to them.

[arkfall]

Which means you have to be open to embracing what you are. Otherwise, how can you hear?

[goldenglasses]

I think I can do that. [It's easier here. Here where things other than human are embraced and not feared.]

[arkfall]

Good. [He still feels oddly emotional and raw over this whole thing and he isn't sure how to express that.]

It's a start, anyway.

[goldenglasses]

We should do this again sometime. [He's surprised by his own eagerness.] So long as it doesn't weaken you too much. I don't want to do anything that might hurt you.

[arkfall]

I could say the same to you, you know.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash considers that for a moment. Not fully understanding exactly what his brother is saying.] I don't feel any weaker. [He tilts down to show off the back of his head.] Do you see any more black hairs? I don't think there should be any.

[arkfall]

I don't. You seem okay for now. Don't push yourself, though.

[goldenglasses]

Alright, I won't. [He laughs a little bit in embarrassment because they both know that he wouldn't' use his powers for just anything.] Happy birthday, brother.

[arkfall]

Happy birthday, Vash. [And despite himself, he smiles in a way he hasn't in a long time.]

[goldenglasses]

Should we go get lunch somewhere?

[arkfall]

[Knives seems surprised by the suggestion.]

Yes. I'd like that.

[goldenglasses]

Great! There's a burger place not too far from here I've been wanting to try! Let's go there! [And thus they'll have a nice birthday lunch together?]

[arkfall]

[Knives focuses on packing up now that they're done with the plants.]

Fine. Burgers. I should probably buy for you since I didn't give you a gift.

[goldenglasses]

Sounds great to me! [Especially since the place Vash was suggesting is a place that won't accept money from a submissive.] I hope you're hungry as I hear this place serves burgers as big as your head!

Oh! Maybe they'll have an eating contest of some kind. Bet I could win it then you wouldn't have to buy my lunch!

[arkfall]

If you think I'm honestly going to be riled into an eating contest with you, you're crazy.

[Except Vash probably could do it, if he really tried.]

[goldenglasses]

Then you can just watch as I devour as much food as possible!

[arkfall]

Oh, so the same as every day then?
