[ There's a laugh as he cuts himself another good chunk of french toast, but then he goes quiet with wide eyes.
This is also a little funny. They've been on the road together for quite a bit. He was in the hospital a number of times, too... And only now does Wolfwood ask? Also. Wolfwood? The guy that was part of the Eye of Michael or whatever that was? Livio and Wolfwood are just as alien as him! ]
You can't just ask someone if they're built different?
[ Vash is a bully sometimes, unfortunately. He'll stop griefing Wolfwood and think about this seriously while he slowly chews. It's a topic he didn't like thinking about before. Ran from it, really. These differences were what he saw made him monstrous... But he has reconciled with some of it.
Whether he knows how to elaborate on his thoughts or talk about it, it's a dice roll. He's uncertain if he wants to share, even though they've shared so much in their short time together. Somehow, in a little over a year was a lifetime. A joke would be easier. ]
To be honest with you, I don't know too much about myself. I'm different from other plants, so... What I do know about my sisters doesn't always apply to me.
[ An attempt to put it lightly since he isn't used to talking about this topic, or specifically deeper topics on himself with Wolfwood. Despite that, a part of him thinks if there were anyone left in the universe to understand him, maybe it would be Wolfwood. To be different... Maybe not exactly, but close enough.
Idly, he plays with his food and his eyes follow along his fork, part nervous yet also part contemplative. ]
[ He wouldn't be surprised if Luida didn't. She's one of the first to accept Vash as family and welcome him as one of the colony. He could see her omitting anything unimportant that would make Vash feel particularly different.
Wolfwood on the other hand is far too aware. Enough medical diagrams posted to his walls and scientists surrounding him, detailing every step of his transformation like he wasn't a kid with ears but rather a lab rat incapable of understanding language. Enough lectures from Chapel about how he was beyond man, the perfect being fit to serve their new-age God. He knows it all. ]
Fair enough, I guess. For what it's worth, besides your appetite, you're basically like any other person around.
It's a mystery to her, too. At least that's what she said.
[ Independent plants are different, though Vash doesn't know to what extent... Just enough to know that he and Knives are different from their sisters. He also wouldn't begrudge Luida for not telling him, in the case she did know things.
Vash's childhood of being different was being treated like he's any other child until one fateful day, then even then... It didn't drive a wedge between him and others until ships started falling from the sky. ]
Maybe I'm making up for the times where we had to make do with slices of bread?
[ Hehe! A wide smile as he also takes a piece of Wolfwood's French toast. He has the audacity to point of him, toast forward. ]
[ It's so... So tempting to pat the toast against Wolfwood's lips and get him dirty with sticky syrup because fuck you. Maybe Wolfwood can see it in his eyes, but he resists.
[ Vash stays quiet and listens (allegedly), but when he finds Wolfwood's mouth is open wide enough when he talks he's going to gently slot the piece of toast in.
There you go. ]
I'm going! Definitely don't want to go camping tonight... I don't think we brought any gear.
[ He works on his own toast and it doesn't take him too long to finish the rest. It might even take him three huge and monstrous bites. This will probably come back and bite his ass late, but he's done!
And he's going to be proactive and raise a hand to catch the check. ]
And then he's still fucking getting through this toast he got shoved in his mouth while Vash becomes a real living cartoon and inhales the rest of his. Damn. ]
[ SHUT THE FUCK UP HE DID... Vash will take out his worn out wallet that should probably be replaced soon when their tab is placed on the table for them. At least the double dollars he takes out aren't torn or with holes as you'd expect from a wallet so tattered.
Wolfwood's outburst has him snort, finding it very humorous how the tables turned. ]
This is why I was feeding you! But you can take your time.
[ Frankly surprised he hasn't exploded the shit out of his wallet yet. Nothing but bullet-ridden bills. ]
You were givin' me more to eat, it's the opposite!
[ More food? No problem. He does shove the rest in his mouth though because he's not a dainty eater, he will inhale just like Vash can. He does not offer to pay like a wannabe gentleman. They basically have the same wallet. ]
C'mon. You don't got anything else to grab in town, right?
[ It is a pathetic piece of leather... He really needs to get it replaced because it is at the point where maybe a couple of times opening, the seams will give way. They don't for today and Vash can safely pay for their French toast.
Resting his elbows on the table, arms crossed, he watches Wolfwood and grins widely as he inhales the food. It's just very funny? ]
Nope, I'm good and full. [ He picks himself up then pats Wolfwood's shoulder as he passes. Turning into the little cafe, he feels he should give them a compliment. ] The French toast was delicious!
[ It's true, after all. Anyway, they can head back to Angelina. ]
[ ... Looking at the bike and a small airship nowhere to be found, Vash will make the educated decision because their only mode of going up would be the decrepit aerial lift. Vash would have told Wolfwood to wait on the ground while he fetches them a skipper to pick up the bike.
But they can be in the colony now, Angeline back into the engineering garage. ]
I guess it'd be a whole lot of nothing if he just stood around and waited for us... [ Vash will hold the box of frills and lace. ] I'll pass it to him.
[ ? WHAT IS THIS TERM. He does think bandits wouldn't give a shit about Vash's smores but leaves that aside for now, he can't make fun of Vash for two things at once. ]
[ Camping has never been glamorous for actual travelers on No Man's Land treacherous deserts, but for rich people and those who live safely tucked away in a self-sustaining haven it can be a little glamorous.
In this case, glamorous is just. Safe. And Comfortable. ]
[ HE EXPECTED THIS FROM HIM, HONESTLY. But what he also knows is that it sounding dumb doesn't mean Wolfwood is going to back out after saying he's in. ]
Take it up to the people who made up the term! [ Now that he thinks about it, ] Glamorous camping isn't what I first think when I hear "glamping."
