It's really not that impressive. [but, it was nice - more than nice - to hear vash praise him. he didn't want to cause his brother more undo stress and worry, especially after the troubling last week they've had. kni shakes his head.] No, he didn't, but he probably wanted to. He made the others really nervous.
[it was a big step, big enough that kni isn't interested in exploring how big it was, to reach out to a stranger and initiate some kind of conversation. he's just appreciative everything worked out in his favor.] Wolfwood scared him off.
[a pretty decent guard dog, but kni won't say that out loud. the longer they talk like this, easygoing and tune dancing, the easier it is to pretend there isn't a note with vash's name on it in his pocket.]
You're half his age. That's still pretty old, Vash. [an age kni would like to reach himself one day, for all his teasing.] I bet if he took you swimming, you wouldn't have to worry about sinking. [a pause, considering,] Unless you're worried he might not actually like you. Then you'd have reason to worry.
