[And it made perfect sense! All their sisters look alike, he looks like Knives.. or vice versa, or whichever way it went, therefore maybe all male plants looked that way! He may never find out since apparently every plant out there literally was himself or Knives.]

He might listen. Weird new situations require weird new responses! And maybe you'll have a lot of influence by reason of you're.. like, twice as tall as we are. Bigger is better, right?

[And this entire situation definitely counted as 'weird'. But in fairness he's not half as tall as the older Vash is, he definitely has some growing to go.

It's all noted anyway, he won't forget it, and would have some questions sooner or later for someone. Whatever the older Vash is using to keep his hair up, it's definitely way better than what he's using, he'll have to ask about that too, and he's pretty sure that's a safer question.]

The people in the city say July's gone. I'm not sure there's any friends there anymore.

[July is so far away! And it would be a ... very. Very long walk. As it was things were a struggle, would he even be able to find enough food and water to take with him?

After a moment, he reaches up his lone grimy hand and wiggles fingers. He can tame that hair! Except it's going to get utterly saturated in sand and diatomaceous earth..]

Want me to give it a try?
