[Action/Voice]

[It had been over a week now since Vash had been taken and returned by the Malnosso, yet he still sleeps. It's a peaceful sleep, no emotions ever cross his face, not even when his friends take care of him. If he's dreaming he doesn't show any signs if they're good or bad.

Then again, maybe not EVERYTHING has been tried to wake him. (This action is reserved for Meryl!)]

---

[Once he's been up for a bit and has assured his household that he's alright he starts to get a bit restless. It's hard to believe that you've been asleep for over a week. So he eventually leaves the house with the intention of taking a nice long walk. Of course he'll stop at the flower shop, bakery, and forest. Can't ignore those favorite spots. Although he also has a few odd stops on his list today.

Like looking around Luceti for

fallenambitions with a cat in his arms. Hermes seems to taken after his mother by showing up in random places - like Vash's bed. So Vash is here to return him before Wolfwood found out. After finding

fallenambitions and returning his cat; Vash then heads for the Battle Dome. He hasn't practiced for over a week, he doesn't want to risk getting rusty.

So he runs a few simulations. Usually with the dials set to random encounters, he's always worked best on his feet, but there are a couple bandit mobs that he programs into it. He practices until the room forces him to take a break so he opens his journal to make a voice post.]

[Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] Hey! So I was w-[Broken filter] Hm? [Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] -was wondering with all these dif- [Broken filter] [He takes a moment to check his filter once more. It looks fine.] [Filtered from Legato // 100% Unhackable] One... tw- [Broken filter]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Yes! YES! I can hardly believe it! Oh! THIS IS A GREAT DAY! AHAHA! He's gone! He's gone! WHOO HOO! He's finally gone! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[And whatever he WAS going to ask is COMPLETELY forgotten about as he shouts for joy. This calls for a drink! Out of respect for Legato's fate he won't be getting drunk, but it just feels so good knowing he no longer needs to worry about his friends suddenly walking off without a trace anymore. Then again, he's never needed to be drunk to be loud and obnoxious so as he heads over to Good Spirits he cracks his journal open once more.]

EVERYONE! I have an important announcement to make! It's important that we all remember that this land and every land! is made of love! And peace!

[ She feels no motion. She frowns and her small shoulders drop. ]

You're so stubborn, Vash. Even like this, you're stubborn.

[ She's quiet, for a spell, still keeping a palm on his hand. She swallows and decides to move. Just a little closer to him, she thinks, but up to touch his hair at a comforting distance. ]

Look, you haven't gelled your hair and it's falling all over. We can always tell when you're not alright. Your hair just does whatever it wants... and you need a shave again, too. You need to wake up or you'll start looking like you've been out on the streets all week.

[ She gives a small laugh, but it's empty and her smile drops right away. Her fingers find his cheek, rough in spots from the start of stubble and she frowns. ]

Wake up, Vash. There's a lot of things I need to tell you, someday, and I can't do it if you're asleep like this.

[ She leans, embarrassed at herself, but this made him listen to her before. He won't feel it, regardless, she thinks. A bit of selfishness, but fairy tales say the feelings in your heart can do almost anything with a kiss. She wishes she was still a small child and capable of really believing in those things.

She thinks she's almost laughable, but she can be laughable, sometimes. She plants a soft kiss on his mouth. ]

[For a moment Meryl may be fooled into thinking nothing has changed, but at the kiss, something does. His breath becomes just a little more uneven and his eyes start to move slightly. As she moves back he makes a small tired sound, his eyes finally starting to open, slowly. As if his eye lids are too heavy to keep open as he fights to stay awake.]

M... Meryl?

[ She, at first, shakes her head a bit at herself as she parts from him. Stupid, stupid. But then, the first sound to come out of him in a week, and the first word out of his mouth and it is her name.

She sits up IMMEDIATELY, head swimming for a moment as all the blood rushes to her face. He also has awful TIMING, she thinks, in a huff, before the joy that he's awake hits her. ]

Vash! Are you-- You're awake!

[He clumsily makes an attempt to sit up. His muscles feeling unusually relaxed and weak to him.]

Awake? Yeah, I am. What's wro- [It's about the time as he tries to rub at his eyes when he notices the IV in his arm. Okay, scratch what's wrong.] W-what happened?

[ Her shoulders slump in relief as he sits himself up and she even makes a motion to offer help with it if he needs it. ]

You were taken by the Malnosso... when they brought you back, you wouldn't wake up. You've been out at least a week.

A WEEK!? [It's kinda hard to believe when the last thing he remembers was leaving the house-

No... wait. He does remember. He remembers the droids had jumped him and then-]

A week!?

Yes, a week. You really just enjoy worrying us, don't you, Vash?

I'm sorry, Meryl. I had no idea...

I know, I-- sorry. I don't mean to snap at you. [ She's flustered at herself, right now. How the hell did that actually WORK? ]

It's okay, I probably deserve to be snapped at. I'm not doing a very good job of not making you guys worry, after all.

Yes, you are... but it's definitely not your fault, this time. [ She sighs a little and touches his arm. ]

A week? [Really? It feels like he only just left to go get donuts a few minutes ago.]

Mm, a week. You should probably get up and walk around a little. Your legs must be jello.

[Ugh, now that she mentions it.] Yeah, I guess you're right. [He carefully slides his feet out from the blankets and onto the floor. After a couple moments he pushes himself off the bed. He actually manages to stand for a few moments before starting to swear a bit dizzily.]

[ She walks around to his other side to hold his arm. ]

Here, let me help.

[Vash takes her help quick, before he can fall over.] Heh, thanks. They really do feel like jello.

We tried to move you around a lot, but you're not exactly easy to do that with when you're dead weight.

Hey now, are you calling me fat? [He jokes, trying not to panic at the idea of just lying there helpless for so long.]

A man your height would have to eat a lot and often to get fat.

Well, I do love to eat. Actually, I am kinda hungry. Do you think we could get something to eat? [He smiles, trying to act normal. Please don't be upset or worried.]

Oh, right! You must be, after that. What do you want to eat?

Hmm, do we have any donuts?

Actually, I think we might.

Oh boy! And maybe some eggs too! I'm starved!

Alright, alright, eggs, too. Don't eat too much at once, though. You might get sick.
