[Though Vash fails at keeping the tension out of his shoulders, his expression remains appropriately apologetiic in its own right. It bothers him too, not knowing exactly what Ain might do at any given time, as much as knowing that he really doesn't know anything about the person he claims to love. He'd be fidgeting with his hands right now if he had both of them, but instead he just sits there, looking back at both Add and Raven like a sad puppy.]

I know. I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry. I know he cares about all of you an awful lot...he talked about you all the time. He would never just leave and not come back. I meant more that...he's always seemed really curious about everything- [Like Vash] -so there's a lot still he wants to explore, I'm sure...

[But then, they'd also talked about "one day", settling down, getting a house somewhere...it's all very contradicting to think about both ideas being able to coexist. In the end, Vash realizes that he doesn't know for sure, one way or the other. It's not something he can think about seriously either way, not when the idea of actually settling down isn't one they can entertain.

Not that anyone here would know that...or know why.]

But he insisted that we come here. So...here we are.
