[ Vash will be keeping both eyes on his other self, to make sure he doesn't bolt, but he is hoping that at least his words were heard. He thinks they are important, if not necessarily the gentlest.

And he shifts a little. ]

I need to find Nai. And Wolfwood - my Wolfwood. ... I hope. [ yelp, that's hard to say out loud.

But he's not refusing outright. It's just that he's not confirming either. If what he finds out lets him think he should go, he will. But he is willing to accept that there are things that he doesn't know yet, so he might be more in the way than help. ]

Ah... well? Sort of? He kind of showed up right as we were reaching Julai, my Wolfwood and I. He - Knives had Meryl and Roberto, and we were going for them, so once he was resting and I could se that he was going to recover, we went on. He, well, the two of them found me ... after, a few months back. So not too long, but some. [ So. Yes, Wolfwood has been there for two years and change. But he's spent most of that time with only himself, and his other self, as company. Time that Vash can't give back to either of them. ] He thought I was a fake one there to take him beyond. When he first showed up.
