    Summary

    “You’re beating yourself up about something,” the other Vash comments, observation of the century right there. “Go on, then. You can tell me.”

    “...Why would I do that?” Vash asks, frowning.

    “Well, because I’m you?” A pout. This old ass man is actually pouting at him right now. “Think of it like… spilling your soul! But to someone who gets it. I mean, really gets it. Really. Try telling me something I wouldn’t understand. I bet you can’t.”

    He’s annoying. Vash has half a mind to wonder if he’s ever this annoying, except he’s sure that he’s not. He’s always watching other people, trying to make sure he’s never too much, too pushy, too frustrating—not that it bothers him when people look down on him, but it’s one thing to receive pushback for standing on your ideals. It’s another thing to be a genuine nag, and this version of him is. Where does he get off acting like that? Does it actually get him results? Vash is having a seriously hard time wrapping his head around the idea of that.

    ---

    Naturally, when one version of Vash sees the other slacking on self care, he's compelled to step in.

    Don't you think it's ridiculous that Trigun '89 never had a hot springs episode? Well it does now.

    Summary

    Wriothesley ignores the need for rest. He can handle it, after all. His love is far more busy and Sigewinne is helping with the relief. So what if he hasn't slept in a few days, what could go wrong?

    Everything. Everything can, and will go wrong. Wriothesley of all people should know this.
    At least he's not the only one to make a stupid mistake. And that may even give him a chance at making it out alive.

    Summary

    The pop of the cap made the glass bottle hiss in the empty room like a back-alley cat, bubbles rushing to the surface and spitting like seafoam. A generous splash was poured into an upturned lid whose jar had long-since shattered. Despite the vague sense of guilt from hiding such a treat from his siblings, the first sip sent a shiver down his spine. He had been loath to brush his teeth, wanting to savor the bright, syrupy sweetness of the Fonta, like his tongue could remember how the drink fizzled in his mouth like sparks off a Gardemek. Papa had smiled at him and ruffled his hair affectionately… then, things get fuzzy.

    Before he ever called himself Wriothesley, he received his first scars.

    Summary

    And that is the crux of the issue, she thinks as she watches him eat his meal with bandaged hands. This man is full of contradiction.

    Lauds and laurels are draped over his shoulders. He would have no trouble finding a distinguished position amongst the elite in the Court of Fontaine if he so wished, yet even years after fully serving his sentence, here he remains. Such a firm believer in justice but never allowing himself the luxury of forgiveness. He hands out tickets to redemption freely and sees off reformed citizens with a wave and a wish of good luck, feet firmly planted within the confines of Meropide.

    Maybe he thinks he’s beyond saving. Rebuilt, rehabilitated, but still ruined at the core. Perhaps in his mind, he’ll always be a murderer.

    Sigewinne is used to patching him up, but she's never quite sure if he's left healed.

    Summary

    “That,” Neuvillette pointed it out gently. “I know you have a habit of moving your leg over and over again while thinking, but I have a feeling that you seem particularly distressed today.”

    Wriothesley tensed as he glanced at his bouncing leg and almost immediately stopped moving it, shifting his seating posture to eventually straighten his back and maintain both feet flat on the floor. Neuvillette could tell the man was trying hard not to move his leg again, thus he gave the Iudex a strained smile.

    “Whatever gave it away?”

    Neuvillette observed the man, humming lowly.

    ***

    alternatively, Neuvillette insists that Wriothesley should take a nap and lays his head on top of his lap.

    "—Please, enter, and tell me how may I help you today. A personalized, custom job? Or something off the shelf?"

    Oh wow, Wriothesley likes her already. Facing too many sweet-talkers during his business deals makes Chiori's straightforwardness a breath of fresh air he doesn't know he needs.

    "I'd like to commission wedding suits."

    One day, Wriothesley visits the Chioriya Boutique.

    Summary

    Neuvillette finds himself trapped in a hibernating sleep. He is awake—he just can’t open his eyes, can’t move, can’t speak—and he’s known that there is nothing more despairing than watching the years go by as a spectator.

    But this. This is so much worse.

    Summary

    “The only person to enter this office in the last few days besides you and myself has been-” The realisation of who the thief was felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on Wriothesley. Thought thinking back on it, it had been obvious from the beginning.

    Sigewinne seemed to agree on that “Mhm”

    “You really think it could be him?”

    Or it takes an unusual amount of time for Wriothesley to figure out who has been stealing his items.

    Summary

    All treasures are precious, so dragons do not give them out nor surrender them lightly.

    Unless, a dragon intends to court.

    Should a dragon give out a treasure of its chosen's preferences, however, it entails a deeper intention than to just continue its bloodline—it's an act of selfless love, to think not about itself and want only to please whom its heart chooses.

    And Neuvillette understands this.

    Neuvillette presents his (courting) gifts with a certain Duke in mind.

    Summary

    “So it does speak,” someone exclaims, Kakavasha being too preoccupied with the hot metal that was swung in his direction to tell who it was. The man in the mustard suit approaches, chuckling to himself. “That name ain’t gonna help you where you’re going. Better to leave it at the door with the rest of your humanity.”

    Aventurine has a nightmare about his past and the horrors he faced as a child.

    Summary

    “My… I don’t know, 154th? Or something… The years sort of start to blend together at a certain point.”

    Wolfwood grumbles. “Don’t say that shit. Reminds me that you’re old.” He punctuates the complaint with a light flick to Vash’s cheek. After Vash whines again, he can hear the smile that sneaks into Wolfwood’s voice as he continues speaking. “Why didn’t you say anything? We could’ve celebrated.”

    It’s not an intentional silence—Vash doesn’t think it’s a stupid question—more so that he just doesn’t know how to answer. He opens and closes his mouth. A century and a half ago, Vash celebrated this date with Rem, and with his brother… and now Rem’s bones are rotting somewhere beneath the sand, and his brother is a monster. A true monster, with no love lost for Vash or for humanity or even for their sisters who he claims to fight for. Not the person who Vash thought he was, at any rate, a hundred and fifty years ago.

    What is there to celebrate, anyway? Vash is hardly better than Knives himself.

    ---

    Vash would rather skip being celebrated altogether than celebrate his birthday alone.

    There is a man sobbing on the floor of the room.

     

    Ayato frowns at the man, brows pinching with mild disgust as he eyes the snot and tears gleaming on his face. “Oh, get a hold of yourself. I haven’t even done anything yet.”

     

    “Please, Lord Kamisato, please, have mercy…”

    Ayato deals with a traitor within the Kamisato clan.

    Summary

    Despite Vash’s babbling, Wolfwood says nothing. He smears bruise cream over Vash’s cheek with a tenderness that is probably unearned, then draws back for the ice pack he previously wrapped in a clean towelette. When he holds it out, Vash bites down on his tongue so he won’t reject the offer out of hand. He accepts the pack with his prosthetic hand.

    “...I really hate to keep making trouble for you, Wolfwood.”

    “The trouble isn’t why I’m angry,” Wolfwood grunts. He clasps his hands between his knees, now, lacking anything to do with them, and averts his gaze. “There’s always gonna be trouble. You’re such a damn bleeding heart. I know what I signed up for.” His eyes return to Vash, slightly wet along the waterline, a visible crease in his brow, lips downturned at the edges. “You take yourself too damn lightly, Needle-Noggin. I can’t stand it.”

    It—

    Isn’t the first time Vash has heard a sentiment like that.

    ---

    While dressing Vash's wounds, Wolfwood reminds him of something somebody important told him once.
