[ Vash nods -- of course he's concerned about Knives. A bunch of Vashes is funny, strange, potentially explosive, but a bunch of Knives? That could be truly dangerous, especially given how fresh that injury of his looks. ]

The plants in Octovern, all our sisters just over there? Somehow they brought us here to help the fight that just happened a few days ago, with this world's Vash against his brother.

[ For all the good it did -- they'd spawned across the face of the planet, far too far away to be of any help. Or at least, all the Vashes he's met did -- maybe there were more! Maybe there were dozens of them, and their combined strength was the reason that the plants had been returned and Knives was missing. Getting real information from their sisters was complicated, and the little he'd heard from the humans in Octovern had been confused, to say the least. All he's sure of is that Knives was right -- the fight they were brought here for is over, and now that their sisters are no longer joined together, they don't have the strength to warp spacetime and send them all home.

Given the ratio of Vashes to Knives, that means that there's several worlds out there now with no one to stand against their brother. He's trying really hard not to think about that, and what it means for the people in those worlds. ]

There's six of us so far that I know of, including you, and only two of our brother, one of whom is still a child. [ His smile grows fond. ] He goes by Nai, not Knives.

[ It's a lot to take in, he knows! And there's more yet to tell, but a little at a time is probably best. ]

There's a house out by Lost July where they all seem to end up, if you need a place to go.
