[When Vivi comes to her senses, she's in the forest, walking--really, 'wandering' would be more apt, since she has no idea how she got there, nor where she's going. Judging by the dirty state of her bare feet, she must have been at it for a while. Once she registers her surroundings, however, she stops short with a startled gasp. There's something

[If Vivi keeps walking she might hear a bit of singing. If she keeps walking she'll find Vash lounging against a tree with a pair of headphones on. Someone had found his old music player and is singing along to the music.]

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi does begin to catch the sounds of someone singing, and makes a beeline for the source, though remaining cautious. When Vash comes into her view, she heaves a sigh of relief and breaks into a run toward him, cupping her hands around her mouth as she calls out:]

Vash-san!

[...yeah, good luck with that, Vivi. With his loud music and louder singing, the odds don't look good that he'll be able to hear her tiny voice. Realizing this, she tries waving her arms to get his attention, though she's not sure he's even looking the right direction to notice her.]

[goldenglasses]

[Nope, his music is just a little too loud to hear tiny!Vivi. He's just going to keep quietly singing to himself.]

I've been a wild rover, for many a year! Spent all of my money on whiskey and beer! And now I'm returning with double dollars galore! And never will I play the wild rover no more!

[alabastajewel]

[It doesn't take long to see this is a lost cause. Vivi gives up on trying to catch Vash's attention, concentrating instead on quickly getting closer. Once she's near, she hopes she'll be easier for him to notice.]

[...of course, the closer she gets, the bigger he seems. From afar, it wasn't quite as jarring, but now that she's only a few feet away from him, she realizes she must be even tinier than she'd guessed she was. Truth be told, it's a bit daunting. Still, it's Vash, and though things are still a little awkward between them, she knows she can trust him. She slows a bit, but keeps heading toward his feet, starting to wave her arms over her head again.]

I went to an ale house I use to frequent. And I told the landlady my money was spent. I asked her for credit... [Ever get the feeling your being watched? Vash has it and his singing trails off as he peers around looking for Moro.]

[alabastajewel]

[...no, Vash, you're looking the wrong direction. Over here! Vivi jumps and waves her arms for all she's worth, hoping he'll at least pick up the movement in his peripheral vision. And since his singing trailed off, maybe he'll hear her if she yells again. She takes a deep breath.]

VASH-SAAAN!

[Oh thank god! It's a pretty girl and not a giant wolf!]

Oh! It's you Vivi!

VIVI!?

[alabastajewel]

[Thank goodness he noticed her! Vivi stops waving her arms and relaxes a little.] Yes, Vash-san, it's me. I'm not really sure how this happened, but--

[Her eyes widen a bit and she cuts herself off as something occurs to her.] ...this can't be permanent, can it? [She's nearly to his boot now, and she's struck again by how much bigger he is than her right now. She can't help but think of Dorry and Brogy, the giants the Strawhat crew met on Little Garden.]

[goldenglasses]

Ah! No! No! Probably not... I hope not.

[alabastajewel]

[She feels a momentary spark of panic before reminding herself that every other odd thing like this that's happened here has been temporary. ...so far. udhfas Oookay, pushing that line of thought out of her mind right now.]

I...think I was kidnapped, wasn't I? I don't really remember. [She brings a hand up to her temple. Her head still feels a bit fuzzy, honestly.]

[goldenglasses]

Probably, most people don't always remember it. Are you alright - AH! Besides the... uh... height... problem.

[alabastajewel]

[Vivi nods.] I think so. My head feels a little fuzzy, but I don't think I'm hurt at all.

[She's also near exhaustion, she abruptly realizes. Now that she finally feels more safe, no longer alone while nearly helpless, the adrenaline keeping her going is beginning to flag. She rests a hand against Vash's boot, only meaning to steady herself, but in a moment's time, she's leaning against it more heavily than she'd planned.]

[goldenglasses]

A-ha! Are you sure you're alright? Maybe we should get you home. [He knows where you live neiiiiiiiiiighbor.]

[alabastajewel]

[She nods again.] I'm all right, Vash-san. Just a bit tired. [Well, that's an understatement. But his suggestion is just what she wanted to hear. She smiles at him warmly.]

If you can help me get back home, I'd really appreciate it.
