[ home really is that shitty for the both of them, though in vastly different ways. ]
You have half of a point. We don't have the same... problems, as where we came from. But I think things are hard in a different way. I have more freedom to choose, but I'm still getting less than great reactions to what I choose to do.
[ her fingers tease lower, to his temples. this is more a fidget-stress-reliever for her now. ]
...I'd rather be here than where I was before, though.
[ ... Vash doesn't say where he may wish to be. A part of him still harbors dark thoughts, those that wish for him to chase after the dark night. To follow after the ghosts he holds dear. Another part of him loves life too much because that is where kindness is, that is where love waits, even if it's in the future and not the present.
He does have those weird strands that refuse to be gelled up, fringes that fall down like little antennae. She may fidget spinner those. ]
If we are able to pick where to go, I'd invite you to No Man's Land. Not that it's great... But it should be better than I left it.
That sounds nice. [ A smile, genuine though listless. ] Very tempting, too.
I just don't know if we'd be able to leave everyone behind. Family's there and... I don't know how to feel knowing I left to a better place when everyone else is suffering.
[ she can't fault him for feeling like that. at this point she doesn't know about his FAMILY!!! but she understands, to some extent, those feelings of guilt. ]
Well, the offer is open, should things change. [ she really did just invite herself to liyue too... ]

You sound so certain. [ she's teasing, a little. she appreciates his positive spin, despite everything. ]
You could always come with us, you know. You and Wolfwood both.
