Huh? The fuck they think they're doing, adding shit to Angelina while I'm not around?!

[ Just because he DIED? THAT WAS WEEKS AGO! THINGS CHANGE! He's not MAD mad but it's like the energy of when your brother goes and gets your dog a haircut but didn't tell you? Well maybe a slight bit above that because she really got a new tattoo. ]

[piteous]

[ If Vash actually contacted people, or at least his family, a normal amount they would have known about Wolfwood and it would be easier on all of them, wouldn't it. ]

You were dead, so... [ It's odd to vocalize, but he can say it. He knows a handful in the colony suspected Wolfwood's death even though they never asked him. Anyway, he's still unsure what to say because HE DOESN'T KNOW. ] I think they just wanted to remember you?

[ Leaning in, he peers at the design, then leans out to peer at it from a distance. Hmmmmm... He strokes his chin, tallying a grade. ]

It looks cute on her!

[crucifer]

[ Ugh. Ughhhhh. He just makes such a pinched face and he can't even argue because what do you even say to something like that? He simmers down a bit glumly, looking at the cross etching. As long as it's not garish, he'll keep it. ]

Yeah, fine, whatever.

[ He'll stand up and give her a lookover on the rest, turn the handles to see how smooth they are. How many months has it been . . . he is imagining going on a joyride. ]

[piteous]

[ It isn't gaudy. It's minimalistic and classy... Easy to see, but doesn't take away from Angelina's everything. Handles, smooth. Material feels great under his hands. She feels good.

Vash knows nothing about vehicles, so he just watches Wolfwood appraise the motorcycle for a bit before watching his expression. ]

Think of it this way, you two could match. [ Said with little snickers. It really is cute to imagine... And seeing Wolfwood fussing over his beloved motorcycle brings him warmth. Very fond and it shows in his smile. ] You got a stupid look on your face.

[ Bully. Very light cute aggression. ]

[crucifer]

You can kindly fuck off, we already looked good as it was.

[ I think she has some kind of cross pattern somewhere to begin with because there were 'Eye of Michael bought this motorbike' jokes but if I'm wrong well, it's written into reality now. ]

You're stupid.

[ IT REALLY IS JUST A CHILD RESPONSE stop cute aggressing his love for his bike. ]

[piteous]

[ I don't remember his motorcycle too well so I will trust you because your a priest man expert. He has lightly goth or Catholic motorcycle now.

He raises an eyebrow. ]

That all you got?

[ But before Wolfwood can quip back, Vash gives him a kiss on the cheek... Just in case he gets offended by whatever Wolfwood dishes out. He knows he won't feel the moment if to say... He feels like putting Wolfwood into a chokehold instead. ]

[crucifer]

[ The goths do love Catholicism but not really. ]

What --

[ He can't even finish protesting because he gets AFFECTION in turn for his RUDENESS and that's rude in its own way. He scoffs!! And hands off his bike. ]

Anythin' else you wanna show me or is this the end of the tour?

[piteous]

[ Woah? He won instantly with just surprising Wolfwood with a bit of affection. Love comes easily to him, but the romantic gestures don't. This is still too funny, so unfortunately he laughs. The smile on his face is a little shitty, pleased, and of course incredibly fond.

Crossing his arms, he recalls his little tour plan. Let's see. ]

I did want to show you the orchard they started growing, but... Wanna take her for a lap first?

/2

[crucifer]

[ THIS IS A MAN WHO WANTS TO STRANGLE HIM OR AT LEAST SHOVE HIM OVER ]

...... . . .

[crucifer]

[ Breathe, Wolfwood. ]

Yeah.

[piteous]

'Kay. We can ask someone here to give you a little drop-off!

[ Vash rolls to his tip toes and cranes his neck, searching for anyone here. There are a couple of little scientists and engineers, so he waves one over. They greet him with a sigh, then asks if Vash plans to only stick around for a couple of days.

With a little nervous laugh, he answers they're here for a bit (nebulous), but then inquires if they'd let Wolfwood ride his motorcycle back down on the earth. With a thumbs up, they bring out a dispatch ship to drop them off onto the sand. They get a little skipper and here we are, of course with a chaperone because Vash can't drive anything for his life.

Back on No Man's Land across the sea of sand. He's going to watch while leaning againt the little docked spaceship! Have fun. ]

[crucifer]

[ Wolfwood is also curious, but he was operating under the assumption it'd just be a few days. Maybe a week. He doesn't really know, he supposed they would leave whenever they felt like hitting the road and seeing something else. Man, what a clingy family Vash's got.

Not that Wolfwood thinks that's a bad thing.

He waves at the engineer in thanks as they're led down. Yippeeeee. He's not going to go... too far, just giving her a ride down the dune-bordering road for a little bit, checking the feel and if nothing else, feeling the wind in his hair again.

He disappears in the horizon amidst the rock formations. ]

[piteous]

[ And Wolfwood's left Vash with their chaperone and their questions... They're mostly about what he has been doing, if he's going to come back and settle here considering the only threats are barely threats to the colony now, if he's going to clear his bounty because he's obviously being wronged, and what's between him and that priest guy?

He doesn't mind answering them, but he also? Doesn't have an answer for some of these questions??? Wolfwood can keep driving around though. Vash doesn't mind suffering curiousity as he joyrides. ]

[crucifer]

[ He'll come back after like 5 minutes. He's a little dusty but that just kind of naturally happens in this planetary terrain. He'll arrive and stop the bike -- it's not like one joyride has left him giddy to the gills, but he does seem quite satisfied with the function. Not a single awkward tinkering noise to be heard, the handles and pedals both smooth as butter. Shit, maybe he will buy the engineers a drink after all. ]

Havin' a good talk over here?

[piteous]

Hey, Wolfwood! We're just talking about stuff.

[ Their chaperone waves at Wolfwood when he approaches and out of nowhere warns him to not break their microwaves. Some of them were updated but none of the engineers wrote down the changes to them, so it's difficult to fix them.

Also, going to ask how's the motorcycle? There's always some curiosity to know how they can better machinery. ]

[crucifer]

"Stuff".

[ Just looks at him and stares blankly like why would he ever break a microwave but okay, message heard loud and clear. He nods and answers that it's running real well, like she's new but not so much that it feels foreign. Good work. ]

[piteous]

Yeah. Was catching up with stuff since I left. Joseph and Marin are getting married!

[ In which the mechanic will mention the wedding won't be anytime soon... Joseph is a perfectionist, so it may take a while. The answer on the bike gets a thumbs up. They mention that if anything feels off, feel free to tell them. Or to use their workshop, they trust him because he's with Vash. ]

Do you want to drive some more laps?

[crucifer]

[ Vash has shrunk suddenly. ]

Huh, congrats to ya.

[ Well it's sweet that he is really thinking on this wedding and will accept nothing less than perfect, apparently. May their wedding be a blast. He doesn't know if he and Vash will be around whenever it happens but maybe if they're nearby and they get an invite. ]

I can only ride around in so many circles 'round the ship before I get sick. The real test would be drivin' over to the next town, but I ain't doing that right now unless you guys got a grocery list you want me to grab.

[piteous]

[ Technically, you're right, because trimax Vash is shorter. The engineer says thank you! Then thinks about it... While they don't want to bother to two of them after they got home, they did want some tablecloths from a nearby town. It's not that far from here where the two of them would need to spend the night. It'd be a day trip at most...

But they also said they don't mind taking one of the air shuttles. Vash pipes up. ]

We can get that for you!

[ Decides for Wolfwood. ]

[crucifer]

[ ROLLS HIS EYES... not that he would say no to taking the bike for a spin over the air shuttle but he didn't expect it to literally happen RIGHT NOW. ]

You just volunteerin' me?

[ OR ARE YOU JUST PRESUMING YOU'RE GOING TO GET A FREE RIDE TOO? ]

[piteous]

Don't you want to spend more time with your girlfriend?

[ The engineer gives them both a solid thanks before giving Vash the money to pay for the tablecloths. He pockets it before coming over to Angelina and Wolfwood.

FREE RIDE!!! Despite how he called Wolfwood's motorcycle his girlfriend, he's find to third wheel??? ]

[crucifer]

Bitch.

[ DON'T CALL ANGELINA IS GIRLFRIEND!! He already has the Punisher on top of all that. He raises his brows though like the sidecar isn't attached, you gonna just stick right behind him this whole ride? ]

[piteous]

[ He deserved that... So he won't tell Wolfwood to be nice to him and fix his potty mouth.

To the raised eyebrows, he just smiles at him? ]

[crucifer]

[ EYEROLL. But fine, hang on tight because he's just going to rev this bike and we will now start riding down the road...

Whee... feel the wind in your hair. Wolfwood doesn't offer much chatter but it's really just because it's hard to talk on a motorcycle, it's very loud. It has been a long time since they last rode Angelina together. ]

[piteous]

[ He's basically taking advantage of hugging Wolfwood... This is nice and there are no complaints because of how difficult it is to talk when there's so much wind blasting your face.

He rests his head on Wolfwood shoulder, burying his face in, and enjoys the ride until they get to stop... And still clings onto him because he's clingy. ]
