[ This next kicked rock flies pretty darn close to Vash. Okay, so he had visited this December, he did know what he was talking about on this one point. How was Wolfwood to know that? Every fucking Vash in this place has been telling him who he is, where he’s going to end up, how things are like they fucking know anything. Like they’re all better than him, smarter than him, like he can’t be trusted to make decisions on his own. So this time Stampede did know better, fine -- Wolfwood’s a big enough man to admit when he’s been wrong. Not out loud, of course, but he can admit it to himself.
And then it’s Wolfwood’s turn to stumble when Stampede casually announces that Livio’s here, that he was in December recently, that he’s alive. It won’t be his Livio, but a Livio is here! A Livio. One who’s on good enough terms with this asshole here to be looking around the orphanage with him. He's alive. He's okay.
God, he's alive.
…Shit. Wolfwood rubs a hand over his face to try and get his thoughts in order. He’s being pulled in too many directions at once – go to December, to confirm that Melanie and the kids are there? To try and find Livio? Go to Octovern, to see if the kids are there? If everyone’s evacuated to Octovern, though, there might be people there from the Eye… and with no weapon and no way to heal he’ll be useless in a fight. Tuck his tail between his legs and go back to July?
He's quiet for a moment, and when he finally replies, his voice is softer than it’s been since they met. ]
Where’d he go, do you know? After you searched the orphanage?
