Vash barely manages to contain a snort at the comment about picking the good ones out from the bad ones. If he grows up to fall in love -- according to Nai, anyway -- with somebody who threatened a kid, then that's a knack he's going to have to work hard to develop, if he can learn it at all. Easier just to avoid humans entirely. Safer, too, for both him and Nai both.

"You sound like my big brother." That's a pretty big compliment, honestly, even if it's delivered in a somewhat deadpan tone of voice. He's still watching the people -- he's spotted Red Moustache, and is tracking him as much as he can -- but he gives Shardik a little smile out of the corner of his mouth. "He doesn't trust humans either." It's not quite the same, but it's a far cry from how the Vashes talk about humans, and how great they are. "I don't think he thinks there's any good ones, though. I don't think he even likes Rem, really."
