[ Upstairs is a great idea, yes! He has lots of great ideas! And the other Vash has a great idea too, pulling everybody up together with their arms around his neck, because he's so kind, and so helpful. He's a good Vash, Vash thinks, allowing the other Vash to take some of his weight. He's very tired, and wobbly, and the other Vash is such a good Vash. He deserves good things. Vash wants to tell him that, but Wolfwood is being loud and sad, and there's no room for anything else while he's so sad.

With a huff, Vash pulls his hand free from Wolfwood's so he can haul off and smack the man upside the head.

You didn't do anything! [ It's a good thing the nice Vash is there to hold him up, or that swing would have spun Vash right around and landed him on the floor. If he were more incontrol of himself, he'd apologize to the other him for the wave of emotions pouring off of him, but he doesn't spend much time with other plants, and it's not something he's used to having to control. ] You saved my life, and you came back from the dead!

[ Under all that bluster, under all that genuine affection and respect, is a core of grief and fear. Legato showed him so many nightmares in his months of the ark, and his exhausted mind generated so many more all on its own. If this turns out to be an illusion, a dream, if he opens his eyes and he's back in his cage, he might very well lose it entirely. ]

Stop leaving. I want you here.
