[While speaking with Legato the alternative version of Vash reaches out with his mind towards his brother. The confusion his twin feels shouldn't be hard to miss. At least it doesn't feel like he's angry. More curious.]

Did you threaten Legato?

[arkfall]

I did.

[goldenglasses]

Why? What did he do? [Again Vash doesn't seem mad or even upset in the slightest to hear that his brother was threatening people. Already assuming it to be Legato's fault in some way. He was a human after all. They're kind of dumb.]

[arkfall]

He is weak and pathetic.

[goldenglasses]

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?

[arkfall]

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.

[goldenglasses]

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.

[arkfall]

He was mine and mine alone.

[goldenglasses]

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

[arkfall]

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

[goldenglasses]

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.

[arkfall]

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

[goldenglasses]

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.

[arkfall]

That was what I was planning to do. I left and had no desire to see him again.

Though, it's very strange to hear you defend them.

[goldenglasses]

He is mine and my brother's human. What happens to him is to be decided by us and us alone. Of course I would defend what is mine.

[arkfall]

If the Vash from my timeline ever returns, we're going to have to tell him about this conversation. His expression will be priceless.

[goldenglasses]

I don't get it.

[arkfall]

He's terrified of Legato.

[goldenglasses]

What? You're kidding, right? Hahah! No way a Plant would be scared of Blue or any human!

[arkfall]

You tell him that if you're ever able to meet him. He could do to learn the beauty of what we are.

[goldenglasses]

I will. Although he shouldn't really need much convincing.

...does he?

[arkfall]

Yes. He never forgave me for killing Rem. It ruined him.

1/2

[goldenglasses]

[...what?!]

[goldenglasses]

You-- you killed Rem?! But why!? You loved her! Even more than I did!

[arkfall]

Why do both versions of you keep on insisting on that? It's exhausting.
