[Vash has been putting this off. Someone he doesn’t trust, taking him, and poking at him leaves a bad taste in his mouth; but with Knives here…]

[Filtered to John // 100% Unhackable]

I need to speak to you.

[Filtered to Wolfwood and Meryl // 100% Unhackable]

Where are you? I need to talk to you.

[Filtered to Knives // 100% Unhackable]

…

[Yeah? What were you going to say to him? Behave while I’m gone?]

[End Filter]

[After business has been taken care of and he’s talked to those he needed to, Vash heads out into the forest aiming for a river. It’s long past time to intensify his training with the spirits. For those who have gotten to know happy and laid back Vash - this is not him. He’s taking this training with Sona very serious right now and isn’t very chatty. His glasses are on.]

[You have someone observing your training from a distance. He's not hiding behind anything and just happen to stumble across Vash. This was Alexei's first time seeing the magic from the spirits here in action, so you can bet he's curious with what Vash was doing]

[The water he's been pushing back and forth hesitates a moment, as it requires his full attention. Once he's sure the movement he sense nearby isn't a threat he continues.]

[Alexei remains watching Vash then, as it was clear he didn't want to disturbed...although Alexei's pondering whether he should throw in a range attack at Vash, just to see how he would react.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Not very well, as Vash is a bit high strung right now and just waiting for droids to pounce at any moment. Alexei is welcome to try... but he may find himself shot. Vash can draw and shoot almost instanciously.]

[Let's not have an injured Alexei so early on :(. Let's walk around so Vash sees that he wasn't alone anymore.]

Re: [Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Sorry! Vash hardly met Alexei when he was here the first time, so a near stranger attacking him doesn't tend to make him happy. Vash stops what he was doing when it was clear there was a person nearby. He even looks up to see who it is.]

[fallenambitions]

[This guy seem tense, real tense.]

I am sorry for interrupting. I couldn't help, but be curious about what you were doing with the water a moment ago.

[Action] Damn Vash. Why so unapproachable today? :(

[goldenglasses]

Me? Nothing. [Sorry cloaked stranger. He's trying to keep his spirit training a secert from Knives and Leagto. The less people who know and could possibly let his secert slip, the better.]

[Action] Vash, stop being anti-social to an already anti-social character

[fallenambitions]

[Probably a bad thing then that Alexei is a bit stubborn]

I find it hard to believe it was nothing.

[Action] I know! Really. He's usually so socail! :( I blame his brother

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is quiet for a moment. Unable to think of a good lie, he tries to redirect things, even for a little while.]

You must be new here.

[Action] Unfortunately we have no chess board in the middle of a forest :(

[fallenambitions]

[...]

Yes, I am.

[Action] :( Darn!

[goldenglasses]

[He attempts a friendlier tone. No need to be rude to someone who's new, but it's not easy as he's still waiting to be attacked any moment.] Has anyone shown you the guide yet? Have you read the part about the spirits here?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

I...yes I do recall. So that was one of the abilities gained from these spirits?

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Yes, I was just practicing with it, although I'm not too good at it.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

It was water...so you have an affiliation with Sona.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

A small one. I haven't gotten too far with her yet.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[He nods]

How long have you been at this?

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Hmmmm, a few weeks now?
