[ It's been a long time, hasn't it? Nai's words made Vash's lower lip tremble just once. He caught the shades, as they fell, slipping them on his own face effortlessly, the green fingers wrapping gently around one hand holding them as he tugged, just a little. If Nai followed, he would get hugged with Vash's right arm, gently but closely. So he could listen to it all from right there. Or not. As he chose to.
As Wolfwood's words kept coming, Vash had to bite his lip to not come close to tearing up again. He could fill in the gaps that Wolfwood was leaving, at least some of them, and thought how horrifying that must have been. For both of them. And how Knives--
God.
He took a shaky breath, then let it out slowly. ]
Before you think all the wrong things... my arm was cut off to save my life. Back then, I got... very upset, and my Gate opened, from my left hand. But unlike for most plants, my gate is not one that you can take out of. It goes the other direction. And since I could not control it at all, it started sucking everything in. It was cut off so I would not be sucked in, or worse. It has been a long time, but not all of it has been bad.
And... the one that Wolfwood is speaking about. He isn't attacking me because I'm an Independent, he comes after me, or the other me, because he wants to destroy humans and leave only plants. And I - I don't want anyone to be destroyed. Humans, plants, Independents, Worms... I think we can all live in peace.
