[ In other circumstances, Vash would have been tempted to pout at that first response from the other him. But he does know better right now. Instead, there is a half smile that is... well, not cold. It's hard, though, in ways that he rarely shows. The immovable object he can be, when he digs his heels in. ]

That was uncalled for. Have I lied to you? [ And, also... ] How much do you remember?

Okay, let's track back a little. This place is not where you were. It's bringing people from different times and places. A lot of us, I mean, a lot of Vashes. Some Nais. Some Wolfwoods. And some plants that we've never known before. A whole town of independents, for example. A lot of them keep to themselves, but they are there. It won't be near Nai, but you won't be alone, at least.

[ Whatever state this Vash is in, being alone is not likely to be good for him.

And he's not bringing up Rem. Nor Tessla, not unless the other Vash indicates that he might remember who she is. ]
