[droppedstitch]

You left your entire life behind to help?

[love_and_peace]

Didn't you do the same?

[droppedstitch]

No, I committed a murder, apparently.

[love_and_peace]

And left everything behind for a cause you believed in.

[droppedstitch]

But you can and will go back to yours.

[love_and_peace]

[ There's a brief pause before Vash replies again, his tone shifting from serious to once again slightly annoyed. ]

You can go back to yours too! Everyone's redeemable, isn't that what you said?

[droppedstitch]

Oh of course.

But at what cost?

[love_and_peace]

I guess that depends on what you did to end up here.

[droppedstitch]

And we are back where we started.

[love_and_peace]

Yup.

You must really like it here.

[droppedstitch]

My brother is here.

Or did you forget?

[love_and_peace]

As a warden, isn't he? So once you were able to leave, you could leave together.

[ Assuming Istradez here thinks that he'll ever be allowed to leave, that is. ]

[droppedstitch]

Perhaps.

But there is still the question of why I am here. Something even my brother can't tell me.

[love_and_peace]

I thought you had a theory about that?

[droppedstitch]

Maybe it was those robes I stole when I was a child...

[love_and_peace]

Maybe I'll just ask your brother.

[droppedstitch]

Oh, feel free.

[love_and_peace]

Thanks! I'll do that. And I'll see you tomorrow morning, five am on the deck. Wear something you can run in.

[droppedstitch]

...absolutely not.

[love_and_peace]

Don't be late!

[ And he hangs up. ]

[droppedstitch]

[Istra will absolutely not be there.]

Action!

[love_and_peace]

[ Of course he won't! Vash will still wait 15 minutes, just in case he's running late, but he really doesn't expect Istradez to show.

Which is why Vash will show at Istradez's door instead -- or at least, the door that his earring tells him that Istradez is behind -- twenty minutes past 5am, knocking loudly. ]

Good morning! This is your wake up call!

Re: Action!

[droppedstitch]

Eventually, Istradez does open the door, looking very well put togetherin splendid jade robes and not at all ready for any sort of physical activity.

"Have you been yelling this whole time?"

[love_and_peace]

[ He looks very pretty! For his part, Vash is wearing sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt of some soft material... although he's still got his big boots on, and his left hand is still in its eternal black leather glove.

He beams at Istradez, not in the least bothered by the man's obvious disinterest in going for a run. ]

You couldn't hear me? That's a good solid door! You ought to see about getting a doorbell though, if you can't hear when somebody's knocking!

[droppedstitch]

[He glances over his shoulder, into the room, then back at him.]

It's soundproof. And I was asleep.
