[ It's... weird, to have a civil conversation with this Vash. Is it because he's so damn lonely? Still, he pulls his cloak down a bit so that his doppelganger can see his face more clearly, and then leans his chin on his hand. ]

I've met some people. It's... weird, to see Independents that I'm not related to. However, you were right that it's the best place to be until I find Nai.

[ Nothing makes him particularly angry, here. Bored and anxious, yes, but not angry. This is his people - and not, at the same time. ]

...seeing them makes me miss my little ones, though.

[ There was no way he could have had a personal hand in raising the children Nai made, there were just too many - especially in the second generation. That amount nearly killed him, which is why a hundred is the max for this and any future gestations. Still, Vash tried to interact as much as possible. They were his kin, and these people, here? There was a connection missing that makes his chest ache. ]

I hope not. I heard some of them are even from Earth.
