Comments

[passingthrough]

[She smiles.] I'm surprised you're not walking around with a flak vest or something on at this point. [She turns toward him, looking a little concerned around the eyes.] How are you doing? [It's hard losing those people from her position. They were already becoming crew and family to her, but if it had been everyone from the Windrose instead? She doesn't even want to imagine it.]

[goldenglasses]

Who says I'm not? [Because he is wearing armour under that coat. Although the way he says it he's clearly saying it as a joke.]

I'm actually doing alright. Back home I was a drifter and rarely stayed in one spot for more than a couple months at a time. You get use to parting with people. [He give a quick shrug of his right shoulder.] Although it is a bit easier when you're in control of the goodbyes.

I'm glad that Anders and Wolfe went together. I don't think they would have handled being parted from each other very well. And I suppose that means you can have the large captain's room now if you still want it.

But how are you doing? I know you were pretty good friends with Ravi.

[passingthrough]

Funny. I'm used to losing people [but not because she was ever a drifter.] I only get worse at it. [She drums her fingers on the table and looks over.]

I still want it. [She was definitely already moving things in.] And it sucks. I miss them. [Yes, Ravi especially.] It makes me wonder who's next, but there's nothing I can do about that.

[goldenglasses]

[Knowing the type of life Kitty comes from Vash guesses her goodbyes are a bit more permanent so he decides not to ask more about those.]

I found it's better not to question things I can't really change. Less of a headache. Best thing is to enjoy the company of those who are here while we're still here. To live each day with as much joy as we can.

[She just tilts her head, giving him a smile.] Sounds like something you should crotchet onto a pillow or a nice wall hanging.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash wrinkles his nose at the suggestion.] Crotchet? Please. I'm not some old lady! I'm way too hip and cool for that! [Yet the smirk on his face suggests he knows what a bold face lie that second statement is.]

[passingthrough]

My boyfriend sews. It's very sexy. [Perfectly straight faced.]

[goldenglasses]

Wait- really? [IS THIS WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING WRONG TO ATTRACT WOMEN THIS WHOLE TIME?

Because surely it's not the overly aggressive flirting.]

[passingthrough]

[That gets a laugh.] Well, he is very sexy and the sewing is part of the package. I can't say it's the thing that drew me to him. Though he did make me a dress for one of our first dates at the dance on the poison moon before we were officially together.

[goldenglasses]

Wow, a whole dress? He really must be good at sewing then.

[passingthrough]

He is. Also made me another dress and a uniform. He's good at a lot of things. [Which she doesn't actually mean as innuendo. The guy is just talented.]

[goldenglasses]

Oh, a lot of things, huh? [He is jumping on top of that innuendo quickly.]

[passingthrough]

A lot of things. [She repeats, not looking the least bit embarrassed even though he did go there.]

[goldenglasses]

[As much as he jokes and flirts he's just happy to see people in a healthy relationship so he won't mock it too much.]

Well, I'll leave those lots of things to you to handle. I think you'll be the expert on that.

[passingthrough]

I deeply appreciate that. It would be sad if I had to throw you out an airlock for trying to handle it for me. I'm getting used to having you around.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, and I think that would be pretty cold for me. And you know... just a bit less air then I think I need to survive.

[passingthrough]

One would generally assume. [She's not going to throw him out of an airlock.]

[goldenglasses]

And I don't really feel like testing this out.

Oh, hey! Look at my wrist! It appears to be nearly lunch time! Gotta go! Don't want to get eaten! [In case it wasn't clear that the comment of his crew being eaten didn't bother him the chuckling should make it absolutely clear.]

[passingthrough]

See you around, Vash. [Just in case her death threats sounded real seeing him around should help, right? Or possibly sound like a threat, but that's not where her head is. Promise!]
