[Okay, Vash has to laugh at that. Especially at Angelina being let in on the prank. She gets lots of extra pets for being so sweet and nice to Gnosis. She might not be a guard dog, but she is a good girl.
And since Gnosis treated his pet, Vash has to do the same. He doesn't exactly know what to give a big bird and a giant cat. The only person he could ask aside from Silverash just gives him a weird vibe. Like a magnet that pushes him away.
Weird!
Anyway, he ends up bringing in giant, raw bones for both of them. Covered in extra meat. He leaves down newspaper too, so they don't leave a mess. But who's to say they don't carry them away.
[Imagine being Gnosis and walking into the lab to discover Unci and Tenzin just covered in blood, good fucking lord. It takes him all of two minutes to realise this is just meat and that they've eaten a snack and didn't, like, murder somebody (Tenzin is the only one here capable of murder, let's be real).
It takes him about an hour to clean up after the two of them and to call Enciodes over and be like HELP ME BATHE OUR CHILDREN LOOK AT THIS.
Revenge could be plotted, but Angelina seems too sweet to cause that much chaos, and she's also not a wild animal like his own critters are. Hmm...
...oh, you know what causes chaos and enrichment?
Taking the dog out to play in the mud for a while. (Except he'd hate for mud to get on the furniture so Vash will probably find him giving Angelina a bath at the riverside. "Pranks".)]
[Don't mind Vash, just washing from the side. He can put two and two together here. Angelina has definitely been having too much fun. And hey, even standing idle is helping prank Gnosis back. Angelina catches sight before long, and begins wagging her long, wet tail frantically about.
Which gives Vash an idea...
Anyway! Enjoy getting splattered and splashed by a very adorable pup as Vash gets closer.
[Gnosis has his arms up to protect his face from getting splashed with water when Vash jumps him, and there is a very cranelike squawk that erupts from his throat before he can stop it. All the feathers puff out, it's a bad time.]
By Kjeragandr... [And then he just. Sighs. Takes off his glasses to wipe them on his shirt because they got wet.] I see I've been caught in the act.
[The noise is so unexpected and so graceless coming from the usually put together Gnosis that Vash... can't really help himself. He lifts a hand to his mouth, trying to muffle his laughter, only to wind up snorting and giggling through the palm anyway. It gets to the point where he has to hunch over, palms braced on his knees.
Amazing.
At least he gets comeuppance in the form of a very wet Angelina jumping on him. It knocks him clean into the mud, which is pretty much exactly what he deserves.]
S-sorry. You just looked so - [Oh there he goes, laughing again.]
[...ugh. Fine, Gnosis will crack a smile too, but only because Vash is his friend and also Angelina bowling him over is admittedly hilarious.]
Admittedly, I was taking her out for another "prank", but I felt the least bit bad when I thought about the potential for your home to be covered in mud, so she's getting a bath instead.
[Surprise! Your dog is clean. Not that Gnosis' pranks have been unhelpful so far, he's slipped books and stuff in there... not very good at actual mean pranks, this one.]
[His response takes a moment, as he's quite distracted with Angelina. She continues to pound her forelegs into his chest, as if administering CPR. Each blow sends him further into the mud, and sends another bout of laughter into the air.
Eventually, though, he does wrestle the dog off him, and she promptly runs off to find a stick. Or something else. Hard to say.]
Aren't you a big softie! [He says it with a toothy grin, and a tone that's teasing over anything else. All told, one could believe that he was continuing to fool around. Unfortunately for Gnosis, though, Vash really does think that. Oops.]
I'm sure Liv and Nick will appreciate it. Don't want them gettin' caught in the crossfire!
[He loves them both enough to not subject them to his pranks. Or rather, these pranks. They get pranks of their own.
Perhaps, [he says to that first comment, noncommittal, even though he's leaning down to yoink Vash out of the mud as they speak.] You've at least been mildly entertaining all week. It's been good to get out of the lab, I suppose.
[Considering he glued Wolfwood back together and then immediately had to go make another prosthetic... but those are "right now" excuses. He has no remaining excuses for the rest of the time he normally spends holed up in there.]
Sometimes we need a little joy. And I know I needed the distraction.
[He's already going through the first stages of change, even if he hasn't quite let himself acknowledge it. The pranks have been a pleasant distraction from reality.]
It's good to see you out of the lab. Not that I don't appreciate all you did. Nick's already starting to move around better because of you.
...that's good. Glad to hear it. He doesn't strike me as the sort of man to sit down in a wheelchair for the rest of his life when he could be on the front lines, that's all.
[No, you stupid bird, you care about the Triguns be niceys to them.]
It did help to have your arm to study. I'm only sorry that it took me so long to perfect that. Hopefully you managed fine over the month without it.
