[As the day starts to move more towards evening Vash finds himself waking up just inside the tunnel system. For once dressed in his normal clothes, but of course Vash isn’t the lucky type. There’s just a SLIGHT problem as he fumbles his journal out of his coat pocket. He opens it and speaks calmly, as if nothing was wrong.]

Wolfwood, I need a hand. [He’ll explain what and where he is once you can put a filter up for him.]

Everyone… please don’t respond to this unless it’s completely private. [Who knows who might be stalking this entry and he can’t filter for you right now, but he needed to get home somehow. He was going to freeze if he got lost in the forest all night.

For those who’d like to run into Vash; while he waits for Wolfwood, he works on carefully feeling his way up and out of the tunnel. He doesn‘t like the way it makes him feel when he’s down there. It always makes him feel weak and empty inside. Once he‘s out he‘ll find a tree to rest against with his eyes closed and sunglasses on. Doing his utmost best to look as if he‘s just taking a rest while waiting for Wolfwood. No need to suspect he‘s gone temporarily blind, right?]

Why not? Don't you miss him?

We don't get along very well. Kaori, he's here now, and I want you to stay away from him, okay? [More so now that he's starting to learn more about your home life.] If you tell him what you are, I don't think he'll intentionally hurt you, but he can be very dangerous. [Usually Vash fears psychical damage when it comes to his friends running into Knives, but this time he's worried about your mind.]

It's kind of hard to stay away when you don't give any information about him. [To be honest, it was a little frustrating.]

Like that man you warned me about before... was he involved with what happened...?

I'm sorry, I guess I'm not sure the best way to warn you against them. [He pauses a minute trying to think about it.] Well, Knives, my brother. His voice sounds a lot like mine, but it's deeper. As for Legato, he has a calm, monotone voice that he speaks in.

And yes... it was him. That is the power that Legato has. I'm sorry that he did that to you. I should have found you sooner.

There's no need to apologize, Vash. You still came anyway, right? [That alone means a lot to her.]

You still got hurt because of me.

Or because I was stupid enough to wander that close to the forest alone and I happened to be nearby. Your point?

That shouldn't have happened to you. I'm sorry.

Vash... [You make it too hard to cheer you up.] I'll try to stay away from them if you think it's so dangerous... But why wouldn't he intentionally hurt me?

Because you're not human. Right now he only dislikes humans.

... What's wrong with that...?

Because he treats every human the same. Each person has their own lives and choices they make. Not all humans are bad.

[She really wished that were true, but she'd only met one Human who seemed different. And he was killed by other Humans for daring to be kind. Sorry, Vash — she can't agree with you there.]

... When did you notice I am blind?

I actually began to suspect it when we first met.

[... oops.] Was I that obvious?

No, not that obvious, there were just little things. [That and Vash is good at picking up on small clues.

Little things like what? [So she doesn't mess up again in the future.]

When we went to look at clothes. I could tell you couldn't figure out for sure where the sizes that would fit you were.

O-oh, that... Usually one of my older sisters helps me around...

That's good, that you have a good sisters back home that will help you. If you want, while you're here, you can always ask me or Wolfwood for help. And even though you haven't met her yet, you could ask my friend Meryl too. They'd be happy to help someone if they can.

Can I really? [She hates having to rely on others, but sometimes you just have to give in and admit it. It probably helped that she sort of sees Vash as a big brother.]

Of course, we're friends. Friends help each other, right?

Yeah... friends help each other... [Speaking of which, it kind of feels like Wolfwood's approaching, so she'll be letting go now and leaving him in good hands!]

I have more to ask another time, 'kay?

[Ugh. Vash hates questions, but after what Legato put you through he figures you earned the right to ask them.] Alright. Another time.
