[ He appears! And gives her a wave. ]

Guard duty?

[honkinbigteeth]

[she nods. not really wary of him.]

I know it's stupid because no one can go in...

[piteous]

You want to protect people you care about as long as you can.

[ He will sit next to her, knees drawn up, as if to become smaller. ]

I understand.

[honkinbigteeth]

...Hi, Vash.

[she'll allow it, though she does physically shrink away from him just a bit.]

[piteous]

[ That's fine. He doesn't try to sit closer. ]

Hey, Ylfa. A lot on your mind, I bet.

[honkinbigteeth]

Something like that.

[piteous]

Don't want to have a girl's night out? Not literal, but metaphorical.

[ Since he isn't a girl, but more of a vibe. ]

... You don't need to talk about how you feel if you don't want to. We can talk about other things.

[honkinbigteeth]

...I think you're the one who doesn't want to talk about your feelings. I think you probably feel bad right now, because he did do it.

[there's no anger in her voice, though.]

You don't have to or shouldn't tell me if I'm right. But if it's true, you don't have to feel bad. I didn't back off because I thought I was wrong.

[piteous]

I feel awful every weekend here, regardless.

[ What difference would it make? People die, and many people died this time, so he is incredibly sad, but he forces a smile, anyway. ]

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer... And I'm a little tired of talking about what I feel. I know I can't complain because I kind of invited them that one Saturday, but these weekly effects and curses have not been nice!

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm tired of talking about what I feel, too, but I'm much, much more tired of pretending things are okay. That's all that place we went to was. So I don't really want to do that right now.

[piteous]

[ ... ]

I feel like shit, Ylfa.

[ Just admits to not being okay for once. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

Well, me too.

[so, twins.]

I just - everything Nahri said about me is basically not wrong. People feel bad for me, but I'm awful and it's my fault Yakumo died. But it's horrible here and things are complicated and I can't take that back but I'm not going to get Wolfwood killed over a lighter just to save my own team even if I do think he did it.

That's all.

[piteous]

This is a lot for a twelve year-old to think about!

[ A small little haha, but it's also very real. ]

You were trying to protect your own—and as you said, all of this is complicated... More points, more revivals, save people, and save more. I wish it wasn't like this because I think all of us could have been good friends.

It sucks.

[honkinbigteeth]

[haha. she doesn't protest that. but it does break her heart a little, when he says they could have been friends.]

...Yeah. [...] I won't yell at Nahri anymore, Vash. I know it's not fair. I know she's just sad about Shenhe. And I was just sad about Gerard, but she didn't know that.

[piteous]

We all grieve differently and cope differently. I'm still sad about everyone erased so far. [ ... ] Shenhe called me her friend and cornered me to say it back. It reminded me of how little friends I had and how grateful I was to meet her.

The point is, everyone is hurting. It doesn't give her a pass to lash out and take shots like that. We can all be forceful and firm without needing to be mean.

[ But it doesn't mean he's undermining what Nahri feels. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

...I loved her, too.

[she's very, very sad about it. and a little bit angry about it, too, but it's too late to be angry and she doesn't want to be.]

Anyway, I just mean that I - I'll try to work on whether I'm being mean, mainly. And I'll leave her alone.

[piteous]

[ Stop...... He is tearing up, but he's going to try his best to hide that. ]

Thanks, Ylfa. I appreciate that.

[honkinbigteeth]

...Thanks for coming to talk to me.

[it's nice of him. even though this conversation is hard, and even if they aren't able to be friends.]

[piteous]

We can talk any time, different teams or not.

[ vash is legitimately a bad team player ]

Thanks for letting me be here.
