[Anders returns the thumbs up.]

Absolutely. In fact, I'll be highly offended if you don't come to me first.

[goldenglasses]

Well, what if I want to play the prank ON you?

[apurrstate]

Well, then you'll need my expertise! Sadly, there's only a select few people on this ship who know me as well as I do.

[goldenglasses]

Oh! This is an excellent point! Alright then. I need your expertise. I want to play a prank on you. [Is he being serious right now? He's acting it at least. With Vash? Who knows.]

[apurrstate]

What? As easy as that! I've hardly done anything to deserve it yet!

[He isn't sure if Vash is joking, but he'll play the mock affront all the same.]

All right, all right, well I'll have you know I simply hate getting dirty, how're you supposed to make a good impression if you're not looking your best? So, if I were to prank me, I'd hide something like dirt or some of that protein paste somewhere I wouldn't notice and then dump it on me when I least expected it.

I'll be simply beside myself with aggravation.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash nods along listening intently.]

Alright. Got it! Something dirty, but not too dirty. We've just met. I just want to do a friendly prank not completely make you mad at me. Got it!

[apurrstate]

Perfect! Sounds like you're on the right track. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I hold the advantage, however.

[Anders smirks.]

I don't need to know how to prank you.

[goldenglasses]

You don't? [Now he really is curious.]

Maybe you should tell me so I can let you know if that would work.

[apurrstate]

[Anders' smirk grows and he shakes his head.]

Now that would spoil the fun. I assure you, it's a harmless but effective tactic.

I have my ways.

[goldenglasses]

Well, I suppose if it's harmless. But I'm pretty hard to prank. Are you sure you don't want my help?

[apurrstate]

You underestimate my abilities, my dear man. I'm quite offended. I've spent plenty of years honing my ability to prank, subtly or otherwise, those around me.

I'm quite confident I can manage. And if I fail, you can always say 'I told you so.'

[goldenglasses]

Well, if you're sure you won't feel bad hearing I told you so. [But he wants to know!!!!]

[apurrstate]

Of course not! It wouldn't be the first time I've heard it.

[goldenglasses]

Do you hear it often then? [A petty dig as he's annoyed he's not in on the prank against himself.]

[apurrstate]

Often enough! It takes too much effort to be bothered by being wrong about little things.

[Anders isn't offended and he'd even think to take pity on Vash...but, no, he can't share his secret just yet. He'll hold onto it until he can't anymore.]

[goldenglasses]

If you're sure then. I'll look forward to getting prank. [No he won't.] And if I think of anything to pull on the rest of the crew I'll let you know.
