There's what looks awfully like a dismissive wave. "That's the plan, albeit in different directions. You're neither fast enough nor strong enough to dodge bullets while carrying someone my size." What follows after power runs out isn't ... completely awful, if certain species weren't actively draining it. He'd just stop one day. If he used his power to its last mote, then ....
He had no plans on finding out what that would feel like. "Time catches up to everyone sooner or later. As long as I don't use any of my abilities, I've got a while yet." Which means relying on, ugh, guns. And trickery, deceit and an unhealthy dose of bluff and intimidation. "But no apologies needed." Cries for help tended to not be super detailed.
If Vash was pre-July it made sense he wouldn't know about the arrival of the Space Feds, and he considers how best to describe that. "The stories we were told as children, of humanity's origins. It seems they hadn't completely destroyed their home world. In about ...two years give or take, after July is obliterated, they make themselves known and arrive here looking for the survivors of the Fall."
That's pretty neutral and unbiased sounding, and he's pleased that he'd managed it. It took EFFORT. "Their version of showing up to help is attempting to make their rules and regulations everyone else's, and the humans here don't appreciate it. They meddle. In everything. Don't let them find out what you are if you can avoid it. They have rules and regulations about that too."
