[If Vash did mind the way Pavel said his name he would never say so. Truth was he didn't mind in the slightest. He stops playing to sit up with a smile when he spots Pavel enter the room.] Oh hey! Not at all. Just wasting time. Come on in and have a seat if you want. [He moves to stand and great his visitor with a handshake and a smile.]

[candothat]

[Oh good, this doesn't look like it's going to be awkward! He's immensely relieved.]

I will do that, thank you. [He shakes Vash's hand and offers the paper bag with the other. Spoiler, there are donuts in there. Or something close to donuts. They're in space, you know.] A gift, to apologize for doing nothing about your broadcast on the planet.

[Which Vash is in no way obligated to talk about, but there's the opening if he wants to take it.]

1/2

[goldenglasses]

Oh! [Vash noticeably winces a little bit. Feeling just a tad embarrassed as he rubs at the back of his neck.] Ah, well, you know-- you really didn't have to get anything and it all worked out in the end anyway and- [Just going to open that bag now as he rambles on about how Pavel really didn't need to worry at all.]

2/2

[goldenglasses]

[His eyes immediately light up as soon as he spots the treats inside.] On second thought, you really should have! [Shoving one into his mouth as he continues to talk even with his mouth stuffed full.] Mmmhmm! If this is you're way to say sorry then by all means! Never reply to any broadcast I ever make again!

[candothat]

[Not talking about bad experiences it is! Pavel can respect that.

He can also forgive Vash's awful manners since his enthusiasm is rather rewarding. Who knew that a little research and a run to a convenience store would have such a payoff?] I will be sure not to. [That's probably not true.] So the rumor that you like these are true?

[goldenglasses]

Mmhm! Who doesn't love a good donut? [He bites into another one and holds the bag out towards Pavel.] Want one? [He's actually not the worst at sharing when he's not personally trying to piss someone off.]

[candothat]

It would be rude to refuse. Thank you. [He helps himself to one since he has never not wanted a donut in his life.] These are good--not as good as the ones at home, maybe, but that's to be expected. Donuts originated in Russia, you know.

[goldenglasses]

Did they really? I had no idea! [He looks at Chekov with a new sense of awe and respect.] So where you're from invited vodka and donuts?! [WHY WASN'T HE RUSSIAN! Oh yeah, that born out in space and not human thing.]

[candothat]

[Pavel is a bit taken aback when Vash goes and believes him. Doesn't everyone know not to take him seriously when he's talking about Russia's accomplishments? WHAT DOES HE DO NOW?]

Well... the pyshki in Petersburg are a little different. Lighter, and more crispy. Maybe we will find something more like them on our travels.

[goldenglasses]

[It doesn't help that Vash had only a limited study of Earth so he doesn't see any reason for what Pavel says to not be true.] If you do find something like it I would love to give them a try.

[Aw, donuts are gone. It's so sad!]

[candothat]

[It's going to be a real challenge, but he will try very hard not to abuse Vash's lack of Earth knowledge.] You will be the first person I come to with donut-related discoveries, I promise.

[Since things are going quite well and Pavel doesn't feel as awkward around Vash as he had anticipated after learning that he's seeing Kitty, it seems like a fine time to potentially ruin everything. Why not!]

If I may ask... how is your romantic venture going? [Not something he would ask if he knew that Vash knew about his own history with Kitty!]

[goldenglasses]

[It's a good thing that Vash had finished eating his donuts. He nearly chokes on the air alone as Pavel asks his question.]

Oh. You know... it's going. [Guess who has been told.]

[candothat]

[Since Pavel is a fairly observant person, he notices that. He's a little hurt that, judging by his reaction, Kitty evidently told Vash something.]

Ah. [That wasn't a good answer, Vash! He actually does want to know!] You're both happy...?

[goldenglasses]

[You mean she told him something like who Pavel's crush was?] Yeah, I think so. At least I hope she's as happy as I am. [Is that rude? To say he was happy? When he knew how Pavel felt?]

[candothat]

[Girlfriend-in-another-universe-that-she-doesn't-remember, excuse you!]

Good! Good. I hope that she is as well. [Not when Pavel is the one who asked! He might be miserable, but he'd like confirmation that other people are not.]

[goldenglasses]

B-But what about you! How have you been? [Can they move on!?]

[candothat]

Ah, fine. [Moving on, right!] I had a much easier time in the last system than many, I think.

[goldenglasses]

Smart enough to stay out of the mist, then? Because I wish I had been.

[candothat]

Not that smart, but we were very prepared.

[goldenglasses]

Did you find anything in the mist? I heard some people did. [After his botched rescue mission Vash didn't dare go back into the mist.]

[candothat]

I did not, no. [Something that he is trying not to analyze just in case it means something.] But I also didn't get killed, so overall I consider it a success.

[goldenglasses]

Yes, not getting killed is probably priority number one on my list of important things to consider something a success. In that I'm glad we both passed.

[candothat]

Only probably? [It's more of an amused rhetorical question than a real request for elaboration. Not that Vash isn't welcome to elaborate!]

As am I. [He probably shouldn't press given the awkwardness that has already happened in this conversation, but...] You are alright?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash gives a small, awkward wince.] Yeah, I'm fine. I hope I didn't worry you. Or, ah, well, scare you.

[So many people tend to leave once they find out what he's capable of.]

[candothat]

Worry, yes. It takes much more to scare me.

[Try harder to be scary, Vash.]
