[The sound of that voice, begging so pathetically behind him, made his hackles raise, and he made the mistake of looking back and seeing the absolute misery on the man's face and the way he seemed to invite the bullets. It was horrifying, the whole situation had to be one of the worst things he thought he'd seen in a good, long time, and that was including the little, brutalized Tessla in the desert!
The anger the other him lashed out with snapped him back out of the brief stupor he'd found himself in, though, and he snarled, turning back to look between him and the Plants. Because of course Vash wouldn't risk children being hurt. He was still honestly just surprised that the other Wolfwood was still so eager to pull the trigger.
But it dawned on him; Vash was talking as if they'd spoken to him before. Wolfwood had intentionally run him over.]
You guys've met before...!
[He only let himself be confused for a moment before he reached up, grabbing the latch that kept the gun cocked open and unloaded.]
Or what, pendejo? You gonna shoot me? Just wait a fuckin' minute so we can figure out what the fuck's goin' on first!
[He leaned in close enough that he could whisper right in the other Wolfwood's ear, hopefully so that the Vash who had put himself between the barrel of the gun and the other man wouldn't hear it when the words hissed out through his teeth.]
I was bringin' 'im to you guys cuz he wanted me to kill 'im, but I literally can't, and wouldn't, if there are kids involved. We figure that out, I won't argue if that's what's decided, an' I'll even take 'im "home" once hes on this side so you don't have to worry about him followin' you around for the rest of your miserable life. And hey, you'll even be rid of me, too! Two for one sale, how does that sound?
