[it has been some time since the golden-eyed man has been spotted anywhere around town, but he is visiting today to run a few errands. And he's taking the scenic route, wandering through the streets for a while before heading anywhere directly. He needs human presences around him in order to stretch his weakened ability, so taking a stroll through ( Read more... )

[Legato may or may not be surprised to find Vash sitting within view of the smithy. Pretending to be acting casual with that bag of donuts he's really only nibbling at, because he's there for a reason.

That reason being you. He hacked that filter and wasn't happy with what he saw behind it. He couldn't ask you outright what you wanted with Winry because he's pretty sure you wouldn't tell him. It would also be better that you don't know he can hack it and it would probably look bad if he started shouting about staying away from her.

So he had come here. He wasn't really sure if you'd show up. What could you possibly want at the smithy? In the end he decided to come anyway to catch Winry when she headed out for lunch and talk to her. Also, to be here just in case you did show up.

And he is not happy to see you here.]

[hey there, Vash. It's been a while-- not including the brief run-in between false Rem and Knives, of course. Legato halts when he notices him there, quietly cursing the fact that it actually took catching sight of that red coat to become aware of him. His ability was even weaker than he'd thought.

He doesn't let this reach his expression, however. Nor does the fact that he is standing there without one of his limbs seem to bother him. His features just slide into a faint smile]

What a pleasant surprise.

[Vash has been doing his best to pretend he hadn't notice you just yet. After all, it's not like he was looking out for you or anything. Only that's exactly what he was doing. But once address it was safe to get a good look at yo-]

...your arm.

[Whoops, did he just say that out loud?]

[it's been just under a month since Knives arrived, and already little differences are visible to someone observant enough to catch them. ...It has not been an easy month. A little thinner and generally a bit haggard from the traveling and the extremely rough adjustment to Knives' new presence here.

It shows most at Vash's comment, when Legato just has to stop and laugh. Chuckling lightly to himself, that same unhinged atmosphere around him that he'd had when he first arrived.]

My arm has been gone for years.

[Heiaherhiaoheirhhiroeawr.]

You know what I mean.

[Action] endthem February 10 2011, 22:00:17 UTC

Then what's the problem, Vash?

[because this? getting a limb lopped off? there's nothing wrong, here]

[Action] goldenglasses February 10 2011, 22:01:44 UTC

Was it Knives? [Because there is no one else Vash can think of that could get that close to you.]

[Action] endthem February 10 2011, 22:03:20 UTC

You shouldn't ask stupid questions.

[Action] goldenglasses February 10 2011, 22:05:01 UTC

Why...

How can you continue to follow him!?

[Action] endthem February 10 2011, 22:10:02 UTC

[that unstable look gets a little worse, at that, faint smile creaking a little wider. He's always looked at you with some hatred, Vash... but it's more present in his eyes, now]

Another question that you already know the answer to. Is this always going to be an unfortunate habit of yours, Vash?

[Action] goldenglasses February 10 2011, 22:12:59 UTC

No! I don't know the answer to that one!

Why!? He doesn't care about you, I doubt he appreciates anything you do or give up for him, and he doesn't care if you live or die! How can you follow someone like that!

[Action] endthem February 10 2011, 22:41:28 UTC

[still getting closer, to both Vash and the smithy. His expression fades and falls, but that livid look in his eyes remains]

I follow him, because he is the only one who deserves to be followed. It is as simple as that.

[Action] goldenglasses February 11 2011, 00:20:54 UTC

[Vash stands his ground. He's not afraid of you. Only a little bit. Kinda.

Okay, a whole lot. BUT STILL HE STANDS HIS GROUND!]

Someone who cares only for himself does not deserve to be followed.

[Action] endthem February 11 2011, 00:31:30 UTC

He cares about what matters. [Vash. The planet. Plants. Certainly not humanity, himself included]

Without you by his side, someone needed to step in.

[he hadn't meant to tip into this conversation so blatantly, but he's finding it hard to drop]

[Action] goldenglasses February 11 2011, 01:16:18 UTC

He cares in the wrong ways.

[Action] endthem February 11 2011, 01:45:56 UTC

[eventually comes to a halt. You are in his way.]

[forcing himself, with no small amount of effort, to level out] ...I don't have time for this. I have an appointment to keep.
