notabluesbro | 13th Confession [Action/voice]

[Of course, Vash wasn't the only kid Legato ran into. The ass confused the hell out of him, but moreover, he wondered if he really was going to be 'trained' by someone. Trained to fight, right? And he said he'd be skillful, too... But right now? He called him useless. Incapable. Just some stray dog.

"If you think yourself capable, that is something you must prove."

Nicholas wanders into town and takes a seat at a bench, with journal in hand. Considers using it—even if it is confusing, and even if he's not the kind to spark up conversation. Instead he simmers a little, brow furrowed, reaching down and shaping snowballs before throwing them at the nearest building ~~totally sorry if he doesn't see you coming around the corner or something~~. For some reason, he feels like he's done this before. Something about the whiteness of all this is familiar, but... ah, well. He's too busy trying to decipher what that blue haired guy told him.

He was worth something. Wasn't he? Or was what every said true...]

[Voice]

How do y'prove you're worth something...?

[After that, he decides to go back into the forest and try to talk with that Eferin guy. Things weren't as bad as last time; he even got to actually speak to him, without any running or cursing. Even if it meant sucking up to the bastard, just a little. He's in the forest, sitting on the gnarled roots of a tree, lighting and putting out the end of a thin twig. It takes all of his concentration, but it's worth it. His pants leg has a hole burned into it, but whatever burn mark was under it has been wrapped up by a ripped shirt.]

You started it! Ahhh! ACK! [Running for cover!] I just did it to keep up! [He ducks behind a bench and starts throwing snow back.]

[Mwahahaha, tossing snow to and fro]

Then you're turnin' into a cheater to win! I see how ya' are!

Well I wouldn't cheat if you didn't! [MORE SNOW!]

[Pthhht more snow ergk]

All right, all right, no more cheating!

[For now.

Also, totally under-handing a few throws for experimentin']

Yeah! You say that so you can cheat some more! [Those throws don't do too bad. While Vash gets the idea to try to use the fountain as cover and sneak around towards the back of you.]

[Funny thing, Nicholas is just gonna run around the fountain to sneak up on you, too. 8Db]

[Sneak, sneak, sneak, snea-] AHH! [What are YOU doing here!? Throwing that snow in a panic.]

[SADSKLJ YOOOU]

[Kicking a footful of snow at you as he scrambles back.]

G-geez, m'freezin out here...!

[He pauses in his snowball fighting.]

This the first time you been in snow?

[Vash hangs onto his fistfuls of snow, not fully trusting this cease fire.] Yeah, it is.

[In all honesty, he's been confused about a few things himself. Enough that he'd put their little battle on pause, as much as he'd love to win.]

Yeah?

[He thinks about Legato, and he frowns.]

You ever met a guy with blue-lookin' hair and a golden eye? With a big weird white jacket?

You mean... Mr. Bluesummers? [Nick can probably guess that the meeting probably didn't go well, as that snowball he was holding up defensively suddenly lowers as if forgotten. Does he really have to think about that again?]

Yeah... You met him, too, then?

...He said when I'm a little older, a guy named Chapel's gonna take me in and train me t'fight...

[But was it true? What reason would he have to lie about something like that?]

[Sorry to ignore your problems for a moment Nick, but someone has just had someone he feared in his mind confirmed.] He's from your future too? [His stomach drops. So the ships that crashed WERE their ships.]

I—I guess so. He knew my full name, even though I never tell nobody it...

[So they could be on the same planet some day. Didn't Nick say it was awful? Well, he wasn't going to let that happen. He was going to change things so Nick will wake up on a GOOD planet!]

Well... don't worry! When I go home I'm going to warn Rem and the others! I'm going to make sure we don't crash! So you'll be born on a nice planet like you're suppose to! Rem is going to make a planet where you don't have to learn how to fight!

... I'd like that.

[He puts a hand out.]

Shake on it. And even if somethin' happens, y'gotta promise you'll try t'make things okay. That way, nobodies gotta suffer so much there.

[Vash clasps your hand, gripping it tightly.]

I will! I'm going to make sure Rem's dream comes true no matter what! One day! One day everyone will be able to live their lives in peace! With no war or stealing! I promise!

Tch— ["can't believe I have faith in ya"] If ya' screw it up and forget this, I'm gonna go lookin' for ya and make ya finish your promise. Got it?

Don't worry! You won't have any other reason to come find me, except because we're friends. [Wow, "friends" that feels so good to say.]

... Yeah...

'Cause we're friends.

I'm really glad you're my friend and aren't afraid of me Nicholas.

Of course. No matter what ya are, if you're a good person, you're a good person. Ain't nothin' else to it.

[Coming from a boy who has seen the worst of monsters present in normal human beings, he believes what he says 100 percent.]

[Just like Rem said. Vash rubs at his eyes quickly, trying to hide the happy tears that are building in his eyes as he smile.] Thank-you, Nicholas.

[dfsdlfkdflkashdf!!]

H-hey! Cut that out! You're too old for that!

~~[Wait until you know him later, Wolfwood. He cries over donuts.]~~
