"Is that so?" How quickly Vash has already gotten attached, it seems. "He'll turn up, whether you want him to or not." That ends badly one day, he already knows that. But until then, it was a precious thing to his brother.
The matter of whether or not running away and splitting up is the best idea when dealing with dangerous crowds is set aside because of what follows it, and Knives stops completely, then turns around, expression stormy, to jab a finger at Vash. No blades, though his voice is very stern.
"No. Stop with hypocritical rhetoric and trying to dismiss everything you don't like to hear because you're sad about humans. This isn't about whether or not humanity is capable of kindness, I am warning you of things the Terrans actively are doing right this moment and will absolutely attempt to do to you based on nothing but your species and the fact that you are an uncontrolled independent. I'm not guessing."
He makes a brief negative swipe with one hand, frown deepening. "You may love and cuddle the humans as much as you want; but you need to know the difference between ones that bite and ones that don't, not just for your sake but the sake of all your little friends. Terrans bite. Their trained, indoctrinated, chipped and controlled Independents bite. And they're sharp enough to use who's around you if they can't get at you directly." As far as he's concerned, the humans of No Man's Land are bad, but the Terrans are obnoxious.
