[Vash...kindof wants to disappear. Just sink into the floor and never come back out. Why did he say that? That was something he'd been trying to, you know...keep to himself! Or at the very least, make it so that only Ain knew what was really going on. It was just easier to pass for a human down here, because trying to explain he was anything but wouldn't make much sense to the average person...and to someone who knew what he was talking about, it was dangerous. If rumors started circling topside...]

H-hold on-

[Vash tries to pump the breaks before things get out of hand, holding up both of his hands pleadingly as Add hops off the stage and accuses him of being a mole rat(???). Then, his head whips around to look at Ain- BABE???- before subsequently whipping back around to look at Chung.]

[But they're still going, several of them likely convinced that he's a cactus of some sort, which he's almost willing to let them believe. Maybe they'd just end up forgetting later after sobering up?]

He didn't mean Plant, like...plant plant, he meant to say...uhh...

[Looks at Ain, pleadingly.]

Ppppplllastic! You know, like- because of my arm?

[Vash barks a desperate sounding laugh as he lifts said VERY METAL arm and wiggles the fingers, both Raven and Add know fucking better than this.]
