It is no problem... I am used to those who are not human. One of the people I trust the most is not a human being. My uncle.

[She's smiling, more relaxed and leaning her head against Vash more as she shares the secret with him. Now that he's said something, it feels more like he's simply accepting her rather than planning on using her, or rejecting her for what she is.]

I am a Magus... the daughter of a human and a Succubus. I can live my life as a human should I choose to do so, though there will come a time when I must make the choice of whether to live a mortal life or risk everything to live eternally.

Whatever you choose in the end. I'll be happy to stay with you.

[He honestly wouldn't know how to advise her, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't slightly excited to hear she could possibly live eternally. Someone he wouldn't be forced to watch grow old and die.

Of course, now that she's taken the leap to tell him what she is. It was only fair he do the same.]

Well, where I'm from, they would call me a Plant. Hahaha! Ah, well, not like a tree or anything like that. On my world, many years ago, humans once created an organic machine. They had their own thoughts and were alive, but they needed the machines they were created with in order to survive. A bit like a life support system.

No one really knows how or why, but I was born from one of them. So I don't need the same life support that they do. I guess you could say I'm an evolved form.

[He leaves out telling her just what Plants can do for now and Knives. That was just too much at once and he wanted to still enjoy the night and the way the different lights in the sky would brighten Adela's face.]

I... Am not sure I understand, not entirely.

[She's frowning, trying to imagine it - but it really is difficult to do. An organic machine? Just what is that supposed to be, and for what purpose? And Vash was born from one of those? It's kind of hurting her head.]

... Still, so long as you are here with me, I cannot say I mind.

That's alright. Almost no one really understands. Sometimes, I'm not even sure exactly how it works myself.

[By sometimes he means all the time. He doubts he'll ever really understand the how or why Knives and him came to be.]

And I'll stay with you for as long as you want me to.

[The fireworks were entering their grand finale. Sooner or later the pair would have to choose to head home or borrow one of the cottages the Malnosso had been so kind to provide people.]

And I with you.

[She can't help it, she's beaming for the world to see by then as her wings. Still, as the show drags on she cannot help tiring just a bit, her free hand rising to mask a yawn before she leans onto him a bit more. It's simply comfortable then, even if it is almost time for it to end...]

[Vash decides to wrap his long arms around Adela. It wasn't bitter cold out like it should be, but there was still a slight chill in the air.

He sits still, trying to be a good pillow and blanket, until a few moments after the last firework has faded from the sky.]

I think they might be done.

Then we should return.

[The words are spoken but she doesn't really want to move away from his warmth, reluctant even to shift in his arms. Still, aftera beat she'll lean up to give him another soft kiss, not demanding as earlier but instead sweet and tender.]

[He repays the kiss with his own soft kiss before rising carefully to his feet. Once he's up he'll help Adela up to her own before picking up their blanket and taking her hand once more.]

I suppose we should see if the teleporters that brought us out here will send us back. Otherwise we have a bit of a walk in front of us.

Unless, you wanted to stay in one of those cottages I see over there. You might still be able to find an empty one.

I would imagine that the teleporters would still work. I see no reason why not.

[As nice as it was of this place to provide the cottages... She felt that 'her' own bed would be more comfortable then. At least for now, she'd feel better taking things a bit more slowly.]

Then let us go see. [Vash would agree completely of the idea of taking things slowly. He had no intention of sharing a cottage together, but wanting to make sure Adela wasn't too cold to make the walk home.

They were in luck. The teleporters did work. Vash was enjoying the walk back to their apartment. Although his started to feel just a bit anxious as they reached the building.

Soon they were going to reach their floor. He was going to have to say goodbye, go into his own room, and go to bed. Would Adela still be there when he woke up the next day?

He tries his best to keep his anxiousness out of his face as he starts to rub his thumb against her fingers.]

[The anxiousness is shared as Adela returns the rub with a squeeze, her walking causing her to drift towards Vash and even bump into him as they went. It isn't until they reach their floor that she pauses, glancing up at Vash with an almost shy smile.]

... Shall I see you in the morning, Vash?

[Vash keeps his smile on his face. See you in the morning. Something he had heard before and it's not been kept.]

Of course. [He leans down his head. Giving Adela one more small kiss, but he doesn't want to be the one to let go of her hand.]

[She doesn't want to let go, not really, but she knows she has to. Adela is just a little breathless by the time they part, and she starts walking back with her fingers sliding out of his hand, as if still desiring to linger.

Her mismatched eyes glance to Vash and a smile pulls at her lips before she slips into her room. It's new, to be in love... But she cannot say that she minds, not really. Not when it feels as wonderful as it does.]

[Vash holds on to her hand for as long as he can. Even standing with his arm outstretched for a moment after their hands part. He returns her smile before he turns back to his apartment.

There are two hungry cats waiting for him. He feeds them before heading to bed.]
