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.]

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.]~~

[Sigh]

And y'don't need to thank me for somethin' like that. It should be somethin' everyone does.

I know, that's what Rem says, but... it's just nice... to know it's true. [He's almost got his tears under control again.]

[S-sighing again. And an awkward backpat while you get those under control.]

You should never have t'worry about what people think of you. [BEING A TOTAL HYPOCRITE AT THIS AGE, but shut up, he's an orphan who worries a lot about things.] So don't be afraid about something like that. 'Specially to your friends... n' all that...

Okay! I won't anymore. [Such a happy boy right here.]
