He's not.

And I will take your non answer as a yes.

[love_and_peace]

Take it however you like! You will anyway, no matter what I say.

[droppedstitch]

I really do have the best conversations that way!

[And there's actually humor in those words. Humor that isn't entirely at Vash's expense.]

[love_and_peace]

If you want to talk to somebody intelligent, talk to yourself! It's a little lonely, but you'll be sure to win every argument!

[droppedstitch]

Is that how you're spending your days?

[love_and_peace]

Not anymore! Now I'm here on this ship, and there's no shortage of people to talk to!

[droppedstitch]

Willing participants?

[love_and_peace]

Consent is essential for a healthy relationship, in all things!

[droppedstitch]

Nothing about this Barge is consensual.

[love_and_peace]

Negative thinking benefits nobody. Not everything here is the way you want it to be, certainly, but you still have plenty of rights!

[droppedstitch]

Ah yes, they're written out so nicely in that bill of rights that was given.

Vash.

This is a prison.

[love_and_peace]

[ A little more gently than before: ]

It is. But you have rights even in prison! Don't be so quick to throw away what little you have, okay?

[droppedstitch]

You cannot throw away something that doesn't exist.

[love_and_peace]

Mmm.

[ So negative! ]

What did you have for dinner last night?

[droppedstitch]

Spicy noodles, actually.

It did not turn out perfect, but that's the lovely thing about practice.

[love_and_peace]

That sounds so good! What goes into that?

[droppedstitch]

Spices and noodles. And a drop of love, or so I'm told.

[love_and_peace]

No meat?

[droppedstitch]

I don't like it much, but I suppose you could add it.

[love_and_peace]

Mm, fair enough! Not everybody does! I feel bad about it sometimes, which is probably a sign that I should stop eating it, don't you think?

Vegetables, though! Spicy noodles would be great with onion... or eggplant! Have you tried eggplant?

[droppedstitch]

Why do you feel bad?

[love_and_peace]

About eating meat? ...Well, because an animal has to die to make it. At least I think that's where it comes from here. I don't really know! Maybe it's all plant-made, manufactured from raw materials, no animals required! I should probably look into that, shouldn't I!

[droppedstitch]

Animals die all the time.

I don't understand?

[love_and_peace]

They don't have vegetarians in your universe?

[ Really? ]

Because sure, they die all the time, but when that happens they aren't dying for me. They die from natural causes, right? Or because another animal needed to hunt them for that animal's own survival. and that's not the case with me. I don't have to eat meat. I'm an amnivore, so I can eat pretty much anything I want to!

[droppedstitch]

Of course they do.

But you think on a smaller scale than me.
