[His brother? Shinjiro takes a minute to think about who all he's been talking to. He hasn't been especially talkative this go-round, what with his own Sleepr bio posted by the oracle.]
that the guy calling himself millions knives? i'm fine, yeah don't worry about it, the guy was barely in any shape to hurt me when we met
[He was better off the second time, sure. But Shinjiro probably could've taken him if he'd felt the need to defend himself. There's no reason to stress him out more than he probably already is.]
[ He should ask if he's spoken to Qifrey. But he doesn't, inching several levels deeper into cowardice. He'll have to talk to Qifrey himself, eventually. ]
Yeah. That's him, my twin brother. He might not seem like it right now, but he's dangerous. Just be careful.
I owe you... for a few things. I wanted to let you know if you need anything, just ask.
yeah i got that picture when the guy tried to kill me for sayin he wouldn't be able to get anywhere on his own in his condition
i ain't gonna go outta my way to piss him off but that don't mean i'm gonna roll over and let him trample me either
anyway you don't owe me for shit if anything bein there made that whole mess at the inn worse and i already told your brother i didnt want anything for helping him out that guy's so paranoid he'd probably count it as lying if you tried to repay me instead
[ Yeah that sounds like his brother....both what's said first, and then last. Vash winces a little. ]
You're probably right. About my brother at least. I'm not so sure I can agree with the rest of what you said. That whole situation was my responsibility. Neither of you would have been in the position we were in if I had just been more careful.
So at least let me make that right, somehow. It doesn't have to be right now.
it ain't your fault some monster kidnapped you and stole your face, man especially when shit's always goin outta its way to mess with us around here i was the one who was arrogant enough to stick my nose in without my powers or even a weapon qifrey had to protect me and he got killed for it

what's up?
no subject
[ And he means that. But then, there's just a really long pause.
That can't be it right? ]
I guess I wanted to check in on you. Especially since you seem to be talking with my brother.
