Vash barely thought he knew the other cookie, but still he had been there when the faerie had needed him.] We haven't known each other long, and I'm... pretty bad at keeping people at an arm's length but. I'm here.
[It's the least he can do. And hell, maybe he just wants to have some inkling of companionship.]

And, uh... Thank you, for everything.
