[...well. Ain is very taken aback by the sudden outburst, so he goes silent for a moment thinking of what to say. He sits up and takes his coat off, at least, and then his shoes follow after, and then he's lying back down to stare again at the blank walls.
In the meantime, Vash is free to look at all the cringe photos of Ain and his friends when they were dumbass teenagers. They're all framed on the desk, not-at-all faded, and clearly Ain is not too good at posing for photos. In most of them, he — and his stupid blue highlights — is standing there with his arms crossed, looking kind of like "??" at the camera. In one, a redheaded dog has her arms around his shoulders and is giving him a noogie, which is one of few instances where he's not actively "?????", and a boy who looks almost identical to her is throwing up a peace sign. In another, there's a younger-looking Eve next to a white-haired cat, both holding the drones that are currently beeping at Vash, and Ain's head is sort of awkwardly sticking out of the side of the frame. One can only assume this was his attempt at a photobomb.
Then there are a whole ton of goofy ones. Ain koala-ing onto a buff-looking exotic cat's back, and a smaller blonde dog looking Shocked at this whole thing while a blonde lop-eared rabbit woman reaches around him to steal whatever it is he's eating. The exotic cat has a robotic arm that's dissimilar from Vash's in that it looks more weaponized, but it's mostly-covered up by everyone else. Then there's one of a deer-woman with green hair, a black-haired fox girl, and a bird with the brightest purple plumage you've ever seen in your life at a restaurant. Ain's hand is in that photo and not the rest of him, and he's very much stealing a fry from someone's plate.
There are more like that, and the desk is only so big, so some of the frames are sitting behind other ones or haphazardly placed up on the wall because this man has No sense of interior design, even when managing so much as hanging up a photo.
After a few minutes, Ain bothers to speak again, and it's just one word:]
no subject
