[ It technically wasn't willing at first but now they're all here for the long run, stuck with the Vashness. And unfortunately, he would now not want it any other way. ]
Nah, he's pretty much the same with most people for the most part.
[Also Kaveh doesn't necessarily believe this because he thinks there's always something special and different about romantic relationships, but he doesn't want to say that for reasons, so he just hums and glances fondly at Vash for a moment before turning his attention back.]
...Everything's been alright, then? Truly? [Not necessarily between them, just in general. He checks in, but it's different to get in-person confirmation.]
[ Kaveh is the last person he wants a GAAAAY tag from.
And look, Wolfwood isn't so dense that he thinks Vash sees him the same way as he does much of other humanity, particularly his few friends. Not anymore anyway. He's still navigating through these things but he can be convinced of that for the most part.
He shrugs! ]
Kinda weird gettin' used to the world-that-comes-after, but we're gettin' our lives back. The biggest problem is tryin' to figure out what to do now that technically we're free.
...I'm free. The idiot's still wanted.
[ Imagine getting a whole identity change via your hair naturally changing for free and you still have to go around announcing I'M VASH THE STAMPEEEDEEE. On national television. ]
[ It's a stupid answer but it's Vash's answer, so it's what Wolfwood sardonically replies with. It's as true as it gets -- an idiot who in the end, no matter what, can't turn a blind eye to the problems of the world, and will keep risking his life over and over again. He'll never change.
[It answers nothing and everything all at once, really. There's so much Kaveh still doesn't know about their lives, but he knows about who Vash is at his core that it's not that hard to extrapolate the parts that matter. I think about how Kaveh has a voiceline about himself that's literally like "PEOPLE THINK I LIKE TO STIR UP TROUBLE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT" it's basically what he's assuming applies here]
Hm. [What if he went to NML and fistfought everyone who was mean to Vash. He won't. But what if he did. (He would die instantly, that's what.)] Well, as long as he's got you and Livio, I'm sure it'll be fine. More importantly--what is it you want to do? Have you thought about it?
[Wolfwood wants to look out for his kids, Kaveh knows--but what about beyond that?]
[ Kaveh would have to contend against like 94 guns being trained on him at once and then insulted thoroughly by a bunch of gruff men build and shaped like brick walls yeah. Possibly a hot lady or two. Regular NML things. ]
You're not gettin' on my ass about this.
[ NOT YOU TOO. Absolutely the fuck not. ]
I'm figurin' it out as I go. Don't have to have a whole life plan figured out, do I?
[He couldn't even blow them up with his elemental bombs because it takes water to make them... tch...
Also wow touchy!! He looks briefly surprised, then slightly apologetic.]
Of course not, I was just curious. We never talked much about the sort of things you like to do, that's all.
[He remembers Wolfwood mentioning his bike way back in the beginning and that's like, it... and he understands that there were bigger problems to worry about (can't have dreams if you're fuckin DEAD ON A COUCH) but things have settled now, so he figured there was no harm in asking. Alexa play I've Got A Dream from Tangled!!! Except not really, he'll let it go because Kaveh has weird opinions on hopes and dreams. It's fine.
Lightly, clearly joking--]
We could always take you down to the theater and sign you up to be a dancer.

Yes, well... you know how Vash can be sometimes.

[ He says this like he's making fun of Kaveh but the expression on his face says yeah. ]
no subject
At least for me. But it's different with you, I'm sure. [You signed up for the full brunt of his Vash-ness]
no subject
Nah, he's pretty much the same with most people for the most part.
[ lmao though, like for real. ]

Kaveh frowns, though.]
Still? Why? [Did he even know Vash was wanted to begin with actually. Maybe not but he can, like, figure it out.]
