[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.]

Uh oh. I hope the Malnosso don't do anything too awful to her.

[Vash puts on soft smile and a confident tone to his voice. In truth he feels like doing anything but smiling. Yet, he doesn't know what else to do.]

I'm sure she'll be alright. She's a pretty strong girl.

Yeah, she is. She made me some really nice gauntlets in exchange for me doing some clothing alterations for her and helping her get a wardrobe started.

[Still, Vash is a sweet natured person and Bulla's not entirely fooled by the tone.]

Would you like a bit of company?

Thanks, but I'll be alright. I have- [a fight to pick up after] - a few things I need to take care of.

She was kidnapped then?

[He almost didn't want to answer. Although he knew if he did or not wouldn't change what had happened. Voicing out loud his failure to stop another kidnapping after four years wasn't going to change what was happening to Adela.]

I'm afraid so. I'm sorry.

Why would you apologize?

I dunno... [A brief pause as he reaches up to rub the large bump that's growing on the back of his head.] ...I guess, I feel like maybe there was something else I could have done. Something I just didn't see in time.

[What if he had been quicker. Gone straight for Wolfwood's Cross Punisher that had been left behind. He hadn't wanted to blow up the whole floor and possibly hurt Adela, but he could have done it, couldn't he? Could he have been that careful? Maybe...]

From what I understand, if they want someone they will keep sending droids until they have captured them. It is rather unfortunate, but I doubt there is anything you could do about it.

Yeah, maybe. [Deep down inside he knows that. It's just hard to remember after seeing your friend being carted off and not being able to do anything to stop it.

He decides to drop the topic. He never really likes it when things focus on him and it's Adela they should be worried about.]

I suppose, just keep your eye out for her when she comes back.

Try not to bet yourself up about it too much.

[He knows how that goes]

I certainly will keep an eye out for her, two as often as I can spare them.

Yeah, two will be better if you could spare the other. [He tries to put a smile into his voice. He makes no promises about not beating himself up, but he'll act like he is.]

Of course. Whatever happens, we will make sure she is alright when she returns.

Yeah. I know I will be. [It's all he can do. That and look after the plants left in her apartment. It's all he can do. It frustrates him to no end.]

It is an important thing. Just knowing there are those who are there for you is a great balm on a heart.

Yeah, it is. [He doesn't want to at all belittle what Iroh is saying, but what good is a balm while she's so far out of reach? So he continues to smile and sound hopeful as he tries to not look at the mess their shared kitchen is currently in.] Hopefully, she'll be back soon.

All right. I've got to show you some of my designs sometime, though. I've been learning all about how to design clothes, and I've got designs for men and women's clothing.

[It's her way of persisting a little without being too pushy. Vash's business is his own, but she's still got a few lingering Luceti-valley memories of him being her uncle. Just because she knows it's not the case doesn't mean that she suddenly doesn't care]

Yeah? [She wasn't the only one who would just stop caring. Vash really is glad to hear she's been keeping busy and won't let Luceti get her down.] Any designs that will help me score a date?

[So he smiles and jokes. Acting like nothing is wrong when he's hurting is one of his specialties after all.]

Yes, she should be. Do you require any assistance at your place?

No, it's alright. There's not too much to clean up and the door will fix itself. [Lies. Well, not the door. Her door WILL fix itself, but there is a fair bit of mess. Still, better not to let people see and realize the level of violence that had happened here last night.

Even if half of it was unnecessary violence from Vash returning home and deciding to join in.] But thank you for the offer.

Edited 2014-03-16 11:09 (UTC)

If you say so. Should you change your mind on the matter, you know how to get in contact with me.

I don't know about scoring you a date, but they're definitely designs that'll turn heads and get you some positive attention.

[What happens after Vash opens his mouth has nothing to do with her, however.]

I do. Thanks, Iroh. [He means the thanks, but he won't be getting in contact.

He does what he's always done. Keeping his true feelings and emotions to himself and feeling utterly alone. He'll clean up the mess and keep to himself. Unless Iroh tries to contact him or runs into him at either the bar or the next couple days where Vash will be spending nearly all his time wandering the woods. Just in case she's returned lost out there the outlaw won't be reaching out to anyone.]

[Pity, as the mouth part is where he needs the most help.] Yeah? Some positive attention from the ladies is always welcomed attention in my book. [Not that he really wants to change his look, but he likes to encourage creativity when he can.]

Nothing looks quite as good on a person as nice clothes that are fitted for their individual build.

[She'll have to try for something casually dressy. She kind of doubts that even real Vash would wear a suit much voluntarily.]

Any particular colours you'd like incorporated into the designs?

[Casual is better. As Vash would be happy to wear anything he can move easily in. A suit isn't always the best for that. Yet, give him a day or two and he'll be back in his old coat again anyway. Unless it was hidden from him.] Hmmmm, this is a tough decision, but I think I'd like to say red. I know it may seem like a bit of a surprise.

Edited 2014-03-21 00:34 (UTC)

About as surprising as the sun rising and setting every day, Vash.

Well, one does need to be mysterious to capture the hearts of especially beautiful ladies. [No, he didn't miss hear her.]

...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.]
