Just do me a favor and leave Legato alone. If he's bothering you tell me and I'll take care of it.

[arkfall]

I will.

As I said, that was my plan already.

[goldenglasses]

Then at least between the two of us we are still okay.

Unless you suddenly have a problem with me?

[arkfall]

I don't. I never could. I-

I apologize, for being an asshole to you. It's...

I'm so used to you siding with humans over me. When you confronted me over a human I reacted defensively, waiting for you to tell me all of the ways that I disappointed you, yet again.

[goldenglasses]

I can't say that I'm not disappointed to hear that you tortured some other version of me. Even if he sounds a bit like an idiot. Really you should know that hurting an idiot rarely ever makes them smarter.

But in terms of humans just don't go scaring my human anymore and it's fine. [Legato is his and only he is allowed to terrify it!]

[arkfall]

He really is an idiot. A misguided idiot.

But he's also powerful, strong, beautiful...

I suppose you hear all of this from your Knives regularly don't you?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah I do, but I say that back to him as well. I have a feeling you're not that much different.

[arkfall]

You've always been stronger than me, Vash.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, but I still really like it when you try to be stronger. Looking up at you is one of your best angles.

[arkfall]

And again you say something terribly ironic without realizing it.

[goldenglasses]

You sure I don't realize it this time? Not to say that you don't look good laid out on your back either.

[arkfall]

I doubt you've seen anything like the ark.

[goldenglasses]

Then tell me; what was it like?

[arkfall]

[Knives knows that no words will explain it. The best way to describe it is to give Vash an impression of what it was like.]

Let me show you.

[goldenglasses]

Are you at the apartment? I can come home. [Memory sharing was usually easier with physical contact.]

[arkfall]

Yes.

I warn you, the other you found it all horrifying...

[goldenglasses]

I want to see all you wish to share with me. Good and bad.

I'll be home soon.

[arkfall]

[It's strange to find comfort in that. Knives waits for Vash at home and tries to figure out exactly what he's going to show Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

[He'll have a little time to think about it. While he takes the most direct route he doesn't rush to get home.

Seeing no reason to knock he walks right into the apartment.] Brother. It is always good to see you again.

[arkfall]

[Knives is at the kitchen table drinking some coffee when Vash comes in. He offers Vash a small smile.]

I could say the same.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash joins him and sits in the closest empty seat.] You've had time to think about it. Did you still wish to share your ark with me?

[arkfall]

Yes, but I think I need to explain it first. Do you want some coffee? I made enough for both of us. [He sets down his mug to get up if Vash wants it.]

[goldenglasses]

Sure. I'll take it black. [A lot different then the way Vash usually takes his coffee full of sugar.]

[arkfall]

[Knives pauses for a moment at that and then focuses on getting a mug and pouring the coffee for Vash.

The coffee tastes as close to what Vash would be used from his Knives as it can when you consider the change of materials and equipment here.]

The world you live on. You showed me a bit of it. It seems difficult, but not as difficult as the one I lived on. The place we ended up on is a desert. It's barren and lifeless and so the humans tax our sisters beyond their means.

Every day, all I could think about was how to save them.

[goldenglasses]

We also landed on a desert planet, but with the crew we were able to make pockets of healthy earth. It's taking a lot time to do so safely with our sister's help.

Your humans sound like awful parasites. No wonder you find them so disgusting. At least we only had to deal with pockets of filth who didn't like how long it took.

Was your Ark to help our sisters?
