[Vash has never particularly felt the sting of not being able to buy and own things all that much. Considering the fact that the red jacket he wears is the one item that's ever been gifted to him by the humans who helped raise him after the ship crashed, it's also the one thing he guards with his life. His prosthetic too, but it takes colatteral damage simply by virtue of being attached to Vash. It comes with the territory, unfortunately. So the idea of having stuff has never occurred to Vash. He couldn't buy it even if he wanted to, and that's not considering money being an issue...he has to be able to pick up and go at a moment's notice, so it only makes sense to travel light.

Window shopping, though, that they can do. He's more than happy to oblige, smiling at Ain's comments and even getting a little flustered at times when he really hammers in the fact that he thinks Vash would look good in any one particular thing...even if he's saying that in more of a "please wear this you'd look so silly" way.

Vash, being Vash, doesn't pay much attention to the couples around. Sometimes he'll smile or wave a little if someone stares for too long, but that's just because he's nice. It's nice to be able to do that and not worry that he'll be recognized. So when Ain mentions they should go a different way, he changes course without a second thought.]

I'd like to, if we can. It's been a while...

[Like, he knows his own stuff is probably getting pretty bad, and he's not even human. So.]

We had enough money for the hotel since it wasn't too expensive, but it still cost most of it. As long as we make sure we have enough for food, it will be fine.

[Vash...doesn't want to steal here. Not if he can help it.]
