[ His feathers untangle from hers all on their own, and Vash watches, amazed, as they slide back under his skin without any pain or bumps or anything. He can't wait to show this trick to Knives once he's back! But for now he's got important business to attend to.

The wings lift him up, and it's not as high as he was hoping but it's more than he could see from the ground. One hand over his eyes to shield them from the bright suns, Vash scours the horizon, looking for any sign of people. There's nothing... nothing... and then he spots what he thinks might be smoke, way out beneath the bigger of the two suns. Smoke means people! ]

There! [ He pats the wings eagerly. ] Put me down, put me down! [ That smoke looks to be a long ways away, but he'll run as far as he has to for her! ]

It's gonna take me a long time to get there and back, but I'm coming back! Tell her I'm coming back!

[ It might even be dark by the time he's able to return, but he'll find them. He's sure he'll be able to find them again. ]

Take care of her until I'm back!
