[ something Eve will probably learn here, today--Vash is a very emotional person. Kni wasn't wrong when he called him 'crybaby' quite so often--151 years didn't change that fact at all. Crybaby that he was.
the news might not have been 'awful', but it was sad; therefore vash would shed tears, where Eve might not. He can absolutely imagine what it's like to be separated from someone who you cared deeply about, after all. He was currently being kept from seeing wolfwood, due to the man's need to be away from Kni to collect his thoughts. And each day felt like the man was never going to come back.
Dramatic as that thought was. He can't imagine Eve; who can't even call or send a message out to her loved ones--how she might be feeling. That loss, that loneliness-- He finds his free hand reaching for her. Placing his palm against her head without really thinking about the action before just--making it.
He does take note of that crystal that's been... oddly hanging over her head as changing colour. Curious as his expression gets--he thinks he might start to understand it. Does it change colour depending on her mood? ...what an intrusive thing to have follow you. And yet... ]
Sometimes a home isn't a place, but people. I think I know how that feels. And I'm deeply sorry that your home doesn't feel right without your family here. [ family, friends--whichever they were. both.
he's used to being in a pit alone, but. when she casts herself down into it, his arms are open to welcome her. ]
...Sometimes, people have no choice but to make terrible choices like that. Taking the lives of others isn't the right choice to make in any situation, but. I understand that a lot of beings don't feel like they have a choice. Or they do it because they don't know better. [ learning eve is a killer... makes his heart ache, because she's so young, she's got smaller shoulders to carry such a terrible burden. But his arms don't fall away from where he intends to catch her in her descent, all the same. ]
...Everyone can start over. You can. I can.
[ he laughs as... eve offers him absolution. he's always wanted to be forgiven, and hearing it from someone like her--it makes his shoulders shake as he almost finds himself laughing at how much of a ...relief it felt like. ]

Thank you, Eve.
I think I needed to hear that.
