[The video feed starts up mid afternoon with Vash grinning into the camera. For those good at picking up differences in smiles there's a huge difference in Vash's today. You thought he was happy before by the way he smiled and acted? Well, now he's beaming because he's finally, truly happy. He's no longer just pretending and the reason will be pretty clear as he finishes setting up the camera so he can sit on his couch with a small boy on his lap.]

Hello, Luceti! [He nearly shouts the greeting. Hardly able to contain how happy he is.] Your local Vash the Stampede wanting to apologize for missing out on work and not being around. I'll be back at Azalea and Seventh Heaven soon! I've just been a bit busy! [He grins and bounces his leg to make the boy on his leg bounce slightly.] Right Noah?

[The boy nods, but stays quiet.] But we also have an important message as well! Ready, Noah? Just as I showed you, okay?

[Noah prepares by holding up his arm and looking up at Vash for confirmation as Vash clears his throat 'dramatically'.]

This world is made of- LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[As Vash shouts his message he and Noah both pump their arms back and forth. Vash more confidant and Noah a bit hesitant, but with a smile on his face. Back and forth they go as Vash continues to say the mantra. Fingers spread in a V shape when their arms are pulled back then the fingers cross together as the arms are pumped forward. Noah doesn't join with the shouting, but he seems to be having some fun with the arm movements.]

LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE! LOVE! AND! PEACE!

[And somewhere in the background, for those who can hear past the screaming, may be a priest shouting about not using his son to spread propaganda.]

... Good to hear you're as loud as ever, Broom Head.

Now stop brainwashing my poor nephew already!

[Yeah okay Noah is Vash's nephew too BUT SANJI DOESN'T PLAY FAIR.

Also hello, Vash. It's been a while and that is certainly not a note of fondness in the chef's voice, not at all.]

Hey! It's not brainwashing! It's-

[Wait. Is that-]

Sanji! [Never before had Vash been so glad to be called Broomhead. It meant that Sanji remembered him.] Ah! Sorry, I guess I shouldn't be so glad to see you, but... it's so great to see you!

You mean "hear you", right? [Tone vaguely teasing - and Sanji's rather glad this is only in voice. It means he can grin freely and without remorse]

You've been hiding out with Noah, eh? No wonder I haven't seen you around.

[Vash lets out a laughter at his mistake.] Yeah, that's what I meant.

[Vash bounces his knee a couple times to make Noah jiggle and giggle with laughter.] And we haven't exactly been hiding out! Just reconnecting a bit and showing him some of the best places around Luceti! Right Noah?

[Not that Noah gives an answer back. He's too busy being tickled under the arms by Vash.]

[In mock offense:]

Tch, and you didn't take him by the restaurant? How does that make any sense?

Hey! Of course I took him there! It was one of the first trips we took! After the bakery. I did say the best places in Luceti, didn't I? We just grabbed some lunch and were off again, I'm afraid! Must have missed you!

How long have you been back anyway? [As he feels a bit like a terrible friend for not realizing it.]

By now? Eh, a few days. Long enough to remember what a shitty pain in the ass this place can be.

[Though far less of a problem than before, and the tone reflects it. Sanji sounds near pleasant when referring to Luceti now.]

Yeah, it sure can be sometimes. [Yet he smiles brightly anyway. His hand brushing through Noah's hair. He just can't hate Luceti at the moment.]

If you've been here a few days, have you talked to Law yet? Because he's been looking after Pumpkin since you left.

--P-pumpkin-chan?

[Would you believe Sanji COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY forgot about his darling cat?]

She's still here?!

[Vash can't help but laugh in a good nature sort of way.] Well, if her mother and her brother and sister are still around I find it hard to believe that she isn't. She'd of course have to be as stubborn as her owner.
