Take your time.

[He scrutinizes the wrapped up cross in the meantime. A curious decoration... Though shaped much like a religious cross, its style doesn't look particularly reverent.]

[goldenglasses]

[It stands as tall as a man and it's actually even heavier than it may look and it looks pretty heavy. It sits in clear view so that Vash can see it just about anywhere he sits in the room.

Vash himself isn't gone too long before he's back with a box of bandages.] Here they are. I really had no idea that they were getting scarce around here. [He opens up the box in his hand and pulls out one sheet of four.] Here! Repaid with interest even! [Yes, right now, Vash thinks he's being clever.]

[monocledman]

[Oh, good. That saves him the trouble of asking for the interest that yes, he was eventually going to ask for. He'll take the band-aids with a crooked smile.]

Thank you; they look to be in good order. It's always pleasant to meet an honorable borrower. [And then he gestures to the oversized cross.] If I may ask, what is this? It seems a bit excessive for a simple decoration.

[goldenglasses]

Honorable borrower? It's just a bandage.

[Seems a bit of an extreme title for just a small thing like that. Of course, then his attention is brought back to the cross. He sets the box of bandages down on the coffee table, his face falling sober as he moves towards the cross and puts his hand on top of the cross.]

It belonged to a very dear friend of mine, but he's no longer here.

[monocledman]

[Ah, the dearly departed friend. He watches Vash impassively.]

A pastor, by any chance?

[goldenglasses]

Ah yeah, preacher by trade. He would often use this in some of his 'sermons'.

[monocledman]

Use? How so?

[He can't help but be a little curious now.]

[goldenglasses]

[Shot the people who didn't listen with it.] Well, he was a preacher. A preacher has to have a cross, right? Means he was ready to spread the word of God wherever he went. Heh, he even had a small portable confessional.

so very late... I'll understand if you'd prefer to drop it :')

[monocledman]

He must have been a true man of faith. Most preachers I've met like to keep their crosses hands-free.

[He folds the band-aid sheet in half and slips it into his pocket.] Well then, I shouldn't overstay my welcome. Many thanks, Knives.

8D I'm good!!

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, he was.

No, you're fine, I don't have much goi- ...did you just call me Knives?

[monocledman]

Would you prefer I call you something else?

[goldenglasses]

Well, Vash is my name, but where did you hear that other name?

[monocledman]

[He looks at Vash curiously.]

Why, from you, of course. When we spoke yesterday.

[goldenglasses]

We spoke, but I never would have given you that name.

[monocledman]

... Then I must have been thinking of someone else. Apologies if I've offended you.

[goldenglasses]

I'd still really like to know where you heard that name.

[monocledman]

Very well. I heard the name from a man who looks very much like you. In hindsight, I believe his mole was on the other cheek.

[goldenglasses]

Knives. He's here? In Luceti?!

[monocledman]

The prospect doesn't seem to please you.

[goldenglasses]

Let's just say we don't get along very well. Where did you see him?

[monocledman]

In the very place you and I first met. Very soon after then, in fact.

[goldenglasses]

What? Really? How soon after? [How could he have missed Knives when he was so close? Usually he could sense when his brother was that close.]

[monocledman]

Oh, I'd say within a minute. [The minute after he and Vash first laid eyes on each other, technically speaking.] He seemed a clever and careful man. Do you plan to seek him out?

[goldenglasses]

He is and he can be dangerous. I- I don't know- I guess, I will try to find him. Do you know where he went after you parted with him?
