No, never dig in after a worm! That was an early lesson, and one that only had to be tested once.
Younger Vash tips over, and Vash's heart goes out to him. He certainly knows what that kind of gnawing hunger feels like -- even if he is only protein-starved, apparently, and not actually without any food at all. He digs in his pockets as younger Vash bemoans his fate, and is delighted to discover that he's got a couple bills still folded up in the very bottom of one. It's a huge risk, going back into Octovern, but if he hides his coat, and combs his hair down, and if they're very lucky...
"Tell you what. Since it's my fault it got away..." Which is maybe true, even taking the gun out of the equation? If younger Vash hadn't been distracted by him, then would the worm have been able to deceive him like it did? Who's to say? "...how about I treat you to dinner in the city? All you can eat!"
With that many people in Octovern, there have to be restaurants open, right? Especially since all the plants that this world's Knives had collected are now free? Vash looks pointedly down at younger Vash's bare feet, and adds, "...maybe some shoes, too?"
Even with their rapid healing, he's going to end up burnt to a crisp from both ends without both shoes and a good shirt to protect him from the suns.
