[He stumbles like he will, indeed, fall over, but thankfully catches himself. He isn't bothered by the gesture, at least not based off of the way he bursts into warm, raucous laughter.]
I get it. But something this precious, I'll keep tucked away or on me. No one else is gonna make off with it! Unless Daschie really decides to cause problems!
[There's another bright titter of laughter. For once, he both sounds and feels hopeful. Like there's actually something to look forward to. He's missed the feeling of normalcy.]
Haha, I'll tell him to behave. He's made of El Energy too, so he knows better than to mess with holy artifacts, and he is a little smarter than he chooses to act.
[Ain will claim this, but then Dachie will get stuck behind a couch and not realise he can very easily get himself out of said situation with his own native magic.
Regardless... his expression softens at the laugh. He won't claim to know Vash super well, but he does remember seeing the man romp around in a depressed state, and he knows that he's been in a Situation for quite a while.]
Your laugh is nice, Mr. Plant. I hope you can continue to laugh like that in the future.
[Lucky for Ain, Vash keeps right on laughing. He isn't sure that he believes Dachie is as smart as he's hearing, but he also... has no reason to doubt it. Dogs are usually smart creatures, after all! And Ain has no reason to lie to him!
... Okay maybe a little. Who wouldn't want to defend their pet.
In any case, Vash's laughter does hitch a little at Ain's words. The tips of his ears warm, all the more embarrassing by the fact that they stick out so far. He huffs, tilting his head just barely to the side, trying to hide his face.]
Aw, well. I'm sure as long as you're around, I'll keep on laughing for sure!
[Ah, he's cute... Like, Ain knew this, but man does this really seal it in. He wants to help Vash so bad, too, more out of selfless concern than anything, but as far as he's concerned it's a win-win if this works. Vash gets to not be under the Forest's control anymore and Ain gets to hear him continue to laugh. There are literally no consequences to these actions.
He rocks back and forth on his heels to the balls of his feet, smiling serenely.]
Flatterer, haha. Not that I mind. [Now he's winking.] Either way, if you need anything, you know where I'm at. If it's not the tailor shop, it's probably my inn room. You're also welcome to visit even if you need nothing, you know~.
Careful, someone might get the wrong idea if you say that!
[Is he flirting a little? Absolutely. The council of boyfriends all agreed that Ain was cute. I'm also pretty sure one of them joked about stealing him from Wolfwood. If they didn't I'm deciding they did.
But honestly, it says a lot that he's so willing to flirt like this. He trusts in the cute that Ain offers, and maybe he just plain trusts Ain. Who wouldn't, though, with a smile like that?]
I won't keep you, though. I... think I have some good news to share with some folks.
