[Today, like most days, Vash is out in the forest. He’s settled himself down next to a patch of flowers. He’s been thinking a lot lately, maybe too much, as he just sits running his fingers through the grass and looking around.] I wish… I could share this with all of you.

[He sits quietly for a while before tears start slip down his face.] Damn it

[...Well what the hell is this. Haruki goes into the forest to try to test the range on the teleporter cans and he comes across this scene. Isn't that his newest minion? Trying at flowers? What the he-]

What the hell, Vash.

[goldenglasses]

[Jumps, wasn't really expecting people.] Oh... Haruki.

[god_is_a_dude]

What are you doing out here?

[goldenglasses]

Oh, I thought a walk would be nice, but then got missing some friends. [Wipes away some tears, he's not embarrassed but they are clinging to his cheek a bit awkwardly.]

[Rangiku is making her way back from the barrier and is now headed towards with one specific destination in mind - to get drunk. Yes, that is a destination.

The path she takes BY CHANCE leads her to where Vash is sitting and talking with the flowers - he seems to be upset in the same way the sky seems to be blue.

...so instead of continuing on, Rangiku pauses. And without a word sits down next to him.]

[Vash sits quietly, he doesn't mind the company and isn't shy of his tears at all. But after a while he'll speak.] Out exploring today?

[ashesandpearls]

Not exactly. [She turns to look at him directly - for all her dancing around, she also knows how to be very blunt.] Why are you crying?

A friend of mine died recently and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little homesick as well.

[ ...well. It's a break from finding upset girls, at least? Hughes has been branching out from the library lately and all. shut up I wanted to throw someone Sitting down nearby but not right next to you. ]

Very nice weather for a walk.

[goldenglasses]

[It's okay, I still wuvs you Gives a small smile because he can't argue that.] Yeah it is. The forest seem particularly green and alive after the rain. [That's just what he was thinking when the homesickness struck.]

[idkmybffroy]

[ Smiling back. Cheerful is how he rolls. ]

It's certainly a refreshing change of pace. Aa, I haven't been able to enjoy this much fresh air in a while~

[goldenglasses]

Oh, live in a city?

[bernardelli]

[ Meryl's feeling a little bold today. Maybe because he's been so down. Maybe because she's tired of being a bystander. But she's gone out to find him, and when she does, she'll walk right up behind him, kneel down, and wrap her arms around his shoulders. ]

[goldenglasses]

[Sits there a moment stunned. He heard you coming up, but wasn't expecting this kind of contact. He likes it.]

[bernardelli]

[ Meryl holds him tighter and rests her chin on his shoulder, but she keeps quiet. ]

[goldenglasses]

[Enjoys the silence for a minute before reaching up and holding her hand.] Thanks.

[florescere]

[ He's attracted the attention of one of the little inhabitants of the forest. She'll show up and sit down quietly nearby. It takes her just a moment to remember his name. ]

Vash...?

[goldenglasses]

Oh, Cheza, how have you been?

[florescere]

This one is alright. But has something troubled you?

[goldenglasses]

Ah... a friend of mine has passed away recently. I just miss him.
