[ He's expecting a lot of things when Wolfwood straightens back up from that slap – anger, complaining, maybe even puking. What he's not expecting is for that slap to have knocked all memory of his rescue from Knives out of the man's head.
And then things just get worse.
About the time that Wolfwood reaches over and grabs his arm, Vash realizes something – Wolfwood keeps telling him to leave. You should leave, I expected you to leave, why me? Why are you still here? The corners of his mouth stretch up into a tired smile as reaches across the other Vash's shoulders and gets his own firm grip on Wolfwood's coat, to help hold the man up. ]
Let's get upstairs.
[ He shouldn't be wanting things for himself right now anyway, he tells himself sternly, ushering the group up the stairs towards their waiting room. It's not fair to anyone, since he won't be around for much longer. Wolfwood's right about that part. He's a coward, who always runs away when things get bad. It's going to tear Wolfwood apart when he goes, Vash knows, his smile broadening, but what choice does he have? Save the entire world, or save one man's heart?

He has to let Wolfwood go again. ]
