[she does not let go or pull away. it's touch week, sure, but this might continue into the next week, honestly - she's not very good with most social cues, but she thinks that he probably won't wilt if she tethers him, a bit.]

I was frustrated. [she agrees. but he's right! she just threatened violence here and there instead of actually doing it.] I prefer action, that's all. If you're going to do something, you should do it.

[piteous]

[ She can stay attached to him as long as she wants; he doesn't shoo her. If anything, it grounds him to the moment.

And. Yeah. Vash really watched that all happen and said to himself "i will step in when i see it happen, this is a trust exercise." ]

... Nothing gets done unless you act. [ So he agrees. ] We have a very nice and polite bunch here, I think. I'm used to too much action, not enough conversation.

[bindings]

[that is a hell of a trust exercise.]

The simplest path forward. [she says, with a slight huff.] Do you prefer more conversation?

[piteous]

[ the flames come out and vash starts screaming how bad this trust exercise is ]

... A balance of both is important. Nothing gets done if you don't make a choice, but you might make the wrong choice if you don't talk.

[bindings]

The problem is that the talk can be endless.

[which is why she one, impatiently sliced her hand open for proving wounds could be healed, and two, she was about ready to suplex livio for being afraid to take the pipa.]

[piteous]

... Some of it was more alarming the longer it went on.

[ Ever felt that maybe it's better to get stabbed so that you don't talk about stabbing for so long and have everyone on edge. Vash lifts up both of their hands into the air. ]

But! We got our answer!

[bindings]

[she rubs at the bridge of her nose.]

We did. And it was the right one. [...] The fact that we must vote for teams is troubling.

[piteous]

It is.

[ He feels a migraine coming. Not looking forward to the conversation that will bring if one Saturday they're voted for. ]

I don't know if it's better that it's something they can decide themselves... Or if it would have been better if we voted for individuals.

[ There's some agency with discussing your team, is what he considers. ]

[bindings]

[a small sigh.]

It is harder if it's something they decide themselves. [...] If we were ever voted for wrongly, I think it would be near impossible for the four of us to choose.

[piteous]

[ NO, WHY DID SHE HAVE TO BRING IT UP!!!!!!!!!! ]

I'd offer to go first, but... I think I'd be dead before Sunday rolled in.

[bindings]

[HELP]

Wolfwood would strangle you himself. [she says, amused.] I am the option that makes the most sense, in any case.

[piteous]

That aside, I think it's something we can avoid by not being suspicious.

[ He doesn't want to hear that kind of talk. ]

It's not always about what makes the most sense.

[bindings]

[i would sacrifice myself but you are not allowed to he says

shenhe just raises an eyebrow at him but doesn't push it.]

We can avoid being suspicious. [...] Are you going to be able to rest, tonight?

[piteous]

[ no one is allowed to self-sacrifice except me (homophonic, the game).

That has him blink a couple of times. ]

... I must look awful if you're worried. [ Apologetic. ] A lot has happened, but I'll be able to sleep.

What about you?

[bindings]

You look tired. [she informs him. because maybe she is, a little.

but, past that:] I will sleep as well as I ever do.

[which is to say not poorly but not great, either. she's a light sleeper.]

[piteous]

If we end up being awake at the same time, we can go out for a walk or something!

[ why is she a light sleeper wolfwood and vash beating each other up are so loud i'm sorry

But, seriously, he tries to lighten the mood. ]

Just a little night escapade, maybe cause a little trouble. Who knows?
