[ She can feel his shoulders tense. ]

That's... Terrible.

[ If she expected Vash not to react at all, to now wear his heart on his sleeve, then sorry. He's stricken yet not entirely shocked. There have been a myriad of horrors witnessed in his years alive.

Still. Give him a moment to digest it. ]

[bindings]

Yes.

[she tilts her head back. because... yeah. it was horrible. but.]

I survived.

[piteous]

[ ... Hesitantly, he reaches over to grab her shoulder and give her a half-hug. ]

That's right, you survived... And I'm glad that you did.

[ As long as she got to until arriving here. ]

[she'll take it! she doesn't hug back because she's bad at this, but she leans into the half-hug. she's quiet, for now.

she made it here. it's been just a little more of a blessing than a curse, and she wonders how long that'll last.]

[piteous]

[ It's calm, just this, until Vash rattles them both side to side into small shake, a reassuring squeeze to try to wring out whatever lingering sadness that may be there. ]

... I think you deserve to live as much as anyone else.

[ That's his opinion, but he also thinks he's very right. ]

[she doesn't quite laugh, but - there's a huff of amusement when she's rattled.

she takes his hand when he says what he does. it's a little hesitant, but she wants to, and wolfwood told her to try to do the things she wanted, so.]

... Thank you. [she says, finally.] I'd like to feel that way. It's easier to try when other people think so.

[piteous]

Awwww.

[ Vash truly thinks that's sweet because he's used to his words meaning nothing sometimes. In No Man's Land, only boys who won't listen to affirmations exist. ]

Well, I better live long enough to see that day! Can't miss it.

[ What a good distraction and talk to let them ease off of Rin's death and how that has scarred them both in different ways. ]
