[Vash can't help the way he jumps to Wolfwood's defense. He can't help but worry that it'll send Wolfwood into a spiral of his own, that he'll question every little moment between them. It takes him only a few seconds before he processes the irony of his efforts. Walking on eggshells to prevent Vash from shutting down is what Wolfwood and Livio have to do every damn day, isn't it?
Oof. He'll have to pencil in some time to really think about that later.]
But if I want to help myself, I need to make sure the people I love aren't, y'know... Encouraging those kinds of behaviors. You get it?
[His tone is soft, encouraging more than anything. Vash is a good liar, but there's nothing on his face that would even indicate the effort of doing so. For all intents and purposes, he looks to well and truly mean it.]
We started our relationship with plenty of ribbing. And maybe it's on me for changing the terms of how we interact but... I think it'll help.
