[Wasn't it always like that? Vash is nervous, as anyone would be, but it won't last long once he has the drugs working on him. He hasn't yet, but only to address those concerns, and he can't help a quiet chuckle at them. This is actually quite pleasant, despite the anxiousness from his companion.]

Pre-operation jitters. I understand. You shouldn't be out more than a few hours at best. I'll just be removing the grate first, given where the other one is, I've decided. I'll have to move you to get at the other, but that won't do on a freshly opened wound. You'll be staying here until I'm sure you can tend to yourself. Don't worry about accommodations. I've already taken care of that. I'm not about to stick a knife in you and leave you to fend for yourself.
