[After taking a few days to himself to fully process the whole "return to life" thing, Vash is finally getting out to visit the people he said he would.

His first stop is Flonne’s Flower Shop of Love. He’s hoping Flonne is there today as he doesn’t know where she lives. (Seeing the flowers is also a plus!) His next stop is Kohaku’s place! He makes a pit stop where he thought Miyabi’s house was only to be disappointed that he can‘t see it. Silly snow. Then finally the last stop he makes is the Straw Hat residence. For those he’s visiting he looks perfectly normal except for the small bags under his eyes. Someone hasn’t been sleeping well lately. At some point during his walking he pauses to jot down a note in his journal.]

If you’d still like to talk I’d be happy to meet you somewhere. Just need a time and place.

Guy… I wanted to thank you… for looking after Meryl while I was [pause] gone.

[Feel free to bump into him while he walks from place to place!]

[Vash carefully wraps his arms around you. Not saying anything just yet.]

[Okay, so ~~while you're apparently unhooking her bra~~ you can have a muffled voice from the vicinity of your chest.]

Why didn't you call for help?

[He’s quiet for a bit.] I… couldn’t. I didn’t know who’d answer. I didn’t want to give him anymore… targets. I’m sorry Nami.

[Sorry, Vash. Not good enough. Pulling back to look you in the face.]

You think he doesn't think of us as targets anyway? Vash, we could've helped you.

Without anyone dying.

[He speaks very softy and gently] And what if... one of my friends… who isn’t a fighter showed up first?

[She'd dearly love to say that won't happen. Because this is important. But the fact of the matter is, he's right; Luceti is full of people who act before they think.]

Okay. [Going to accept that, although she sounds kind of defeated. Flopping back onto the bed. And probably dizzily at that. Bah, balance issues.]

Tell me what happened.

[He moves as if to catch you as you go to flop, but there’s a bed there meaning you’re not going to hurt yourself and lets you flop. Then he stands quietly for awhile at your question. It’s not something he exactly wants to talk about.] I was in the square and he suddenly appeared there. I ran to the forest and that’s where we fought.

...you ran to avoid getting others involved, then. [This is Nami getting settled in bed again. But you're still holding onto the blankets, Vash. Gimme.]

[Gets the hint and even spreads them out for you - ye of the broken fingers.] Yes... and I was hoping to lose him there; but he had an attack that pretty much obliterated the trees. A ball of electricity.

[Pauses in between snuggling in comfortably to blink at you.]

Lightning?

Huh.

[And now Albert's comment about unique captains makes perfect sense.]

Okay. I don't need to know anything else. I'm just glad you came back.

[Finishes snuggling. Warm. |D]

[He looks a bit relieved. It’s hard to pretend it didn’t happen when you’re talking about it.] Better get some rest. Sanji will get mad at me if I keep you up too long.

[And that's precisely why she's letting you off the hook, Vash. She's still upset about it, but she's not going to take it out on the poor guy who actually died.]

Sanji-kun's already mad with you. [But fff, she is sleepy. :|]

You'll come back later, right?

[Vash has kinda caught on that Sanji may be a little upset with him, but will be ignoring that. You need rest young lady!]

Of course I will. I’ll visit again as soon as you’re feeling better.

m'kay, good. [Vanishing mostly under the covers now.] And don' think I've forgotten 'bouthatbet. Dying's ...no excuse.

[Laughs] I haven't either. as soon as you're better!

Good.

[This is Nami rolling over and sleeping her way out of this thread. Go back to being yelled at by Sanji, Vash |D]

[Vash will be tiptoeing out of the room so that you may sleep!]
