[ Vash's breath stopped when the other him reached for the gun, but then the moment passed and all he could see was heartbreak. So he took a deep breath, shifting so, without letting go of Nai's hand, his other arm came to drape over the slender shoulders, soothing, reassuring. And he started doing his best to radiate soothing and comforting emotions, the way ha has had to do with plants in deep distress. It was gentle and easy, not intrusive, but if anyone was confused and needed to latch on to something, it was there in the near ambiance.

It was all he did, as the air between those two got changed ore and mare heavily with all that was and had been lost.

After few moments, making sure that was steady and his own emotions bundled up tightly - when he was comforting a plant, letting his own fear break through never could help - he looked back down at Nai, smiling slightly even if his eyes were sad, behind the shades. ]

They might need a little time. It has been over two years for Wolfwood and I'm not sure how long for the other me. It's all right, we'll be right nearby and he won't worry when he can focus on anyone else again. [ He squeezed his brother lightly. Two years might be more than Nai's entire life. Or nearly twice as long, even. And even with Vash's own distorted scale, it was a long time to miss someone.

Someone you loved. ]

All right?
