[All Vash had been expecting was to finish his night at Good Spirits, go home, and sleep. Coming home to find droids kidnapping the girl who lives next to him was not in the plans. He awakens early Saturday with a pounding headache and sore muscles. He really hasn't had a very good March so far. Falling in love, vampires, and droids. He's had just about enough as he reaches for his journal.

He tries to hold it so the destruction of the apartment can't be seen and besides the beaten look in his expression he doesn't look too worse for wear.] I'm sorry to anyone who is friends with Adela, but she'll be missing from work for a little while. [He hates these kinds of announcements and hopes people understand from just that what has happened. Still better to note what's happened then leave her friends wondering if she had been sent home.

Vash will take time to clean up the apartment as best he can and put things to right. Once it's done he'll be taking himself to Good Spirits and spend most of the day there drinking. It may not help the bruises he got last night or his bruised feelings, but he can sure pretend it does!

Some days. He really hates Luceti.]

...if mystery is key, I think we may have isolated your problem, Vash.

Really?! Do you think I'm being too mysterious then? I don't want to scare girls away!

I think you need to try for being more...aloof. Like, just talk to a girl you're interested in as if she's just some random friendly acquaintance. There is such a thing as being too eager, you know.

A friendly acquaintance, huh? Yeah! I think I can handle that! [If only she knew how Vash tended to treat his friendly acquaintances.

Although it was basically no difference then a complete stranger.]

Just talk with her and invite her to go have some tea at the tea house with you at first. Then tell her you'd like to meet up again sometime and that you enjoyed talking to her. Just get to know her a little the same way you'd get to know anyone else first. After you've met up a few times, then you can ask her out for an official date.

[It dawns on her that it's a little weird to be giving out dating advice when she hasn't really had a relationship so much as a few dates that her father's scared away. But Vash really needs the help.]
