Vash gave a little hiccup as something came from the other him, then he breathed out and let soft comfort and apology radiate from him. That was thoughtless of me. I am sorry. Brief and gentle, almost like a mental caress.
Then he did breathe a sigh of relief. This made two people they were looking for at least accounted for, alive, and taken care of - three, if one counted Vash here himself, and this Vash absolutely did. Though his eyes darted down to the sand. He was going to ask, if Vash himself at that age would have said that and been honest, or just evading the issue, but this was not the time.
"Thank you. We were pretty worried. And I... don't think I would have been doing very well, on my own, at around that age." Let alone those events, but he had more reason to focus and not rub salt in the wounds that were, in fact, pretty much still there. "Did... do you think he will be safe from the Earth forces?"
He fell quiet, after that. Listening to what was said, thinking. He was also trying to imagine... a lot of them, and taking care of the smaller ones. And how much trouble they were likely to be, but also how much joy, if and when they could make them a little safer, a little happier.
"I, um. While you talk, I can try to see what kind of communication devices I can get for us. Radios are well and good, but I miss having phones, in case I can get my hands on some of those." Even if his nearly never rang, even before JuLai.
Whatever happened, it would be good to be able to get in touch quickly and reliably here. It could save each other a lot of worry.
And Rem... Rem, also.
The thought of living near JuLai was making him uncomfortable already, especially today, but he wouldn't want her to worry, either.
Also, please, Wolfwood. They couldn't go through the door shoulder to shoulder frontally, but sideways? Not that much of a problem. Between those two, Vash did not even think about that, just turned and shuffled sideways so Wolfwood could get in from the sun first, if only by a very brief amount of time.
Then he smiled at the inn owner as though running off, being followed by one person, and coming back with two he is hugging was absolutely normal.
"Sorry if I worried you. Everything is fine! We'll ... be using the room for the day also, will decide about more later. And can we have lemonade? Please?"
Octovern was close, he could go and come back and help out enough to make sure everything was covered.
The smile turned to the other Vash. "Does that sound all right?" These two needed to talk, and not having to rush was probably better.
