"Keep asking and I'll leave until it's all gone," he shoots right back, bristling; he might actually do it! Or ... at least make good on pretending he is, leaving this little sibling all by himself out here was not really something he intended to do. It might be terribly tempting, incredibly so just to have a different flavor, but ... well, it really is a long way. And he did actually have other food he can eat, whenever he wanted it.

Smaller Vash did not. He only had one canteen, too. "I have food, and you don't. Not eating a vegetable today isn't going to suddenly kill me tomorrow! It hasn't even done any harm yet! If you don't want it all now save it for later, July's like ... a two week walk if we can't find anyone heading that way." ... "I guess I could try to drive."

He could steal a car, totes.
