[D-damn it.] He might? You know... bigger space? [Yeah, Vash doesn't sound like he believes what he's saying at all.]

[arkfall]

Does that seem to matter to him?

[goldenglasses]

I don't know! That guy is hard to figure out sometimes! [Vash sighs in annoyance. Knowing that this was not one of those times.]

You could ask him while I'm in here. See what he might like to do. And if he's happy with the arrangement as it is then... well... fine. I can live with the two of you again. [He can't bring himself to ask that Legato be sent away.]

[arkfall]

I would like that.

[goldenglasses]

And one other thing. I think I might have found a job. Working in the parks in the Up. They won't hire me without your approval and I know you provide me with enough, but I'd like the job. Something to keep me out of trouble and busy.

[arkfall]

I approve of the idea. Once you're out, I'll go with you to make sure you can apply.

Working in the parks sounds relaxing.

[goldenglasses]

Thanks Knives! It does! I'm hoping to learn a bit while on the job! [The position is mostly changing the garbage cans in the park, but still, Vash was looking forward to it.]

[arkfall]

Are they going to let you work with the plants?

[goldenglasses]

Probably not right away, but maybe eventually? Either way I'll be working near the plants.

[arkfall]

That sounds peaceful.

You deserve some peace, as much as you can get here.

I'll help where I can.

[goldenglasses]

Thanks brother.

[The connection wavers a bit as Vash's attention is drawn away to something else. It's only for a couple moments before he focuses back on their conversation.] I guess I should let you sleep now, huh?

[arkfall]

What happened?

[goldenglasses]

A couple people making a racket. The guards have taken care of it. [Vash just couldn't help paying attention in case he needed to offer his brand of 'help'.] Nothing to worry about. Just them shouting about quiet time reminded me how late it was getting.

[arkfall]

Please be careful.

[And there is a lot of concern in this. He's worried about Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

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?
