[Today was good and windy out. The perfect chance for Vash to try to contact Kipinn. So today he’s found himself sitting in the middle of a clearing, eyes shut as he tries to contact the spirit. Only problem? He’s never been good at sitting still in a meditative like state. So his mind starts to wander.

Just little thoughts here and there.

[Lost in the woods? Never! April would NEVER admit she is lost in the woods. Ever. Still--she's relieved when she happens upon Vash in the clearing. At least it's not the same clearing she's been coming back to over and over again as she wanders in circles.]

Hey---Vash?

[after_march]

You DO know that mayflies die after like 48 hours, right?

[goldenglasses]

I know. [He doesn't like that part.] But they know how to live, even if their lives are short they spend it looking for love.

[after_march]

Aww--that's kinda sweet, Vash. [Is this guy like those cult people who hand you a flower at the airport?] You know, though, that running away isn't the best way to find love, right?

[goldenglasses]

I find it's better than fighting, right? I'm not a very good fighter.

[after_march]

[She pats his arm.] It's okay. Fighting rarely solves anything. But love "looks on tempests and is never shaken."

[goldenglasses]

I like that. Love is never shaken, even in the face of something like a typhoon.

That was by a poet from my world named Shakespeare. A sonnet. I wrote it down once, back in high school.

[goldenglasses]

Shakespeare, huh? Interesting name.

[after_march]

He was an interesting guy. Kind of hard to understand his writing at times. [Returning to the subject.] So, yeah---sometimes I guess you can't run when love's at stake, you know?

[goldenglasses]

I suppose, but I'd still rather avoid fighting if I can.

[after_march]

Well there's important stuff to fight for, though, right?

[goldenglasses]

[You're persistent on this fighting idea.] I've always believed fighting doesn't usually solve anything. I guess if it's life or death, I'd have to fight, but really, can't most things be solved without it?

[after_march]

No, that's not what I mean: I fight for stuff all the time without actually, you know--[She starts shadow boxing to illustrate her point.]

[goldenglasses]

OH! I understand what you mean, but I still don't really like fighting - in any form.

[after_march]

[April nods.] It's tough when your back's against the wall and all you really want is some harmony. That sounds a lot like my life over the past year or so. I've had to make some tough choices.
