[she tilts her head, looking at him.]

Why are you avoiding him?

[why'd you love arrow her vash. :flurbato:]

[piteous]

[ THE MODS TOLD ME YOU GUYS WERE BOTH CONFUSED ]

I'm not avoiding him! I just thought you two might want alone time?

[bindings]

[THE BOTH OF US LIKE ARE THERE OTHER LOVE ARROWS]

Everybody keeps saying that. [she looks vaguely annoyed at this.] I have had plenty with him.

I want to spend time with you. Just like I did before. [still gonna tag that other one but] I don't understand. If I am doing something wrong, or not being socially appropriate, you're supposed to tell me.

[the one insecurity she has.]

[piteous]

I did promise you that... [ He hasn't forgotten. ] You didn't do anything wrong, Shenhe. I'm sure everyone's just being respectful.

[ For him, it's partially because we all ooc know Vash is being trouble here. ]

[bindings]

[a little huff.]

... Alright. [she's still a bit unsure, but.] Thank you.

You are very good at avoiding my questions.

[piteous]

Reminds me of the time when you avoided my questions a couple of weeks ago over the hot sauce, right?

[ Circling back. ]

[bindings]

That was different. [rude!!!] And also, I told you.

[piteous]

You tried to avoid answering!

[ HE'S JUST sAYING THE TRUTH? ]

Anyway, I don't mean to...

[ isn't that worse ]

[bindings]

One time.

[GRUMBLES.]

Are you fighting with him again?

[piteous]

[ He's all hehehe teasing her, but he quickly changes his tune. ]

You think we're fighting?

[bindings]

[someone teach her to noogie so she can do that to him when he teases her]

You are very rarely not fighting. [to various levels of seriousness, but:] I am asking you.

[piteous]

[ this game is failing shenhe, granted she probably saw Wolfwood and Vash do it a lot to each other in the warehouse. ]

... Maybe we should fight less, huh. [ Apologetic. ] It's complicated.

[bindings]

[she's gonna pick up on it eventually,]

Complicated how? [america explain!!!]

[piteous]

I guess... We're just complicated? I don't think you need to worry about it.

[ Since, well, he has caused them all so much trouble, so he is feeling guilty. ]

[bindings]

But I do, even if you assure me I shouldn't.

[she folds her arms.]

... We are a team. I don't want you to be hurt. Especially not by each other.

[piteous]

[ He just gives her a soft smile, touched deeply even if they're just small comforts. ]

I don't think you can protect me. [ But his tone makes it sound like he wishes she could. That would be nice. ] We... Might just be bad for each other. Wolfwood and I, I mean. It makes it harder because we mean a lot to each other, too.

See? Complicated.

[bindings]

[she like

doesn't quite understand the concept of worsties, so she's a little confused, but.]

I will do whatever I have to to protect you. [she'll settle for that. because she knows that's true, whether it's from wolfwood or from a random team or from this place itself. vash, wolfwood, and nahri have earned her loyalty in such a fierce way.]

[piteous]

[ DIVORCE....... ]

... Thank you.

[ THIS LOYALTY IS JUST BROKEN THE NEXT DAY. It still makes his chest swell with warmth, then weigh heavy with guilt. ]

You're so strong, but I want to protect you, too, y'know? I think you deserve to be taken care of. Pampered a little, too.

[bindings]

[i was gonna say cidnero but i think cidnero might be more functional than vashwood]

I don't need to be protected. [she says, like a liar who is proven wrong in like a day, but it's not meant to be rude, it's kind of just like. she's always been the strongest person in the room. she's unused to other people wanting to. or being able to.

still.]

... But what you're saying isn't lost on me. [friends protect each other.] So thank you, too.

[piteous]

[ grimaces i didn't like that

He will remember this, but no i'm kidding he gets what she means. The most capable and strongest always think they don't need it, that it's their responsibility... He wonders what that feels like?

There are a couple of chuckles. ]

... I'm glad that you can accept me, but seriously! You should let other people take care of you sometimes.

[bindings]

[she gives him a flat look.]

... If you are trying to get me to agree to something, tell me what it is. [DON'T BE SO SUSPICIOUS OF HIM HE IS BEING NICE TO YOU]

[piteous]

... Huh?

[ HE IS SO CONFUSED? WHY DOES SHE THINK HE'S TRYING TO GET HER TO DO SOMETHING? ]

[bindings]

[oh no the insecure effect makes her wrinkle her nose]

... Hm. Never mind. [crawls into a hole because she has made a Social Mistake]

[piteous]

[ OH, NO... NOW HE'S INSECURE ABOUT HOW HE RESPONDED TO THIS. ]

No, I'm not looking for a favor...

[bindings]

Then - what did you mean?

[or she could just like, die from embarrassment, that's also fun]
