Ah they were fast growers thats for sure~
(A small sway and clap of her hands)
..
Still...I'm not sure how they'd feel, knowing I'm back when they put me in the past..
Taller than ME.
Must be all the sun that's making them tall being PLANTS and all.
( Small smile. He can't smoke in front of her )
If you were my mom, I'd want to see you....
So tall..
(She'd love to see them..but she died.
She burnt up on ship 5.)
...I think..if they saw me they'd be...in disbelief? Or denial.
Mm...that. denial.
(So how she's back alive now she has no idea)
( Briefly thought back to when he and Vash visited her HOME )
You do that to be with them for a long time, huh? Smart. Have you seen her? I can take you to her if you'd like.
( Leaning on his cross )
You should see them now. Already 6 feet tall.
Oh-
No that's okay.
Im far older than I look, you can thank cryo sleep for that
(A smile and a wink)
And..I found them at the bottom of a plant tank. I was the only one awake at the time so I had to look after them.
They grew up so fast..
( If those rings don't involve lives, sure. He can find that funny )
Aren't you a little too young to be, uh, a mother?
I'm sorry. Is that wrong of me to say?
You wouldn't want me to answer that.
( Smiling for the first time. He's spewing buncha lies right in her face.
He feels bad )
They're causing me a lot of trouble though. Can't get any rest.
Not too much trouble, I hope.
(A sigh, a hand resting against her hip and shaking her head)
I'm..I'm glad nai is looking out for his sister..even if they're not together and fighting..
( Praying to anyone who is listen and thanking them that distraction worked.
Wolfwood isn't really listening. The more he listens the more he sees slight resembles. Just the twitch of a smile.
Like Vash's.
Always her )
Pfft, yeah. That checks out. She gets into too much
+
I-
They're my kids, if something's happening I have to try and stop it at least...
(A tiny tilt of her head. He wants to know about their childhood?
Oh she could talk forever about it!!)
Hm where to start...
Vash was always the one that got into trouble somehow~
I remember+
Oh, nooooooo. No. No.
NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
This isn't something that you can stop by hurling a slipper.
( WHAT SHOULD HE SAY? HE COULD DISTRACT HER )
Why don't you tell me more about their childhood? They don't open themselves up like that often. Always so closed off.
They're fighting..?
What happened?
Maybe I could get them to stop
(She's been gone for so long. She doesn't know what's happened. How much everything has changed.)
( That pulled a small smile from him )
Vash likes a lot of things, some odd, but I'm not here to judge.
( Confused, Wolfwood blinked at her, then to their hands then back up )
Uh.... No. They're fighting at the momentβ they've been fighting for some time now.
( God, he
+
Oh the bookβ
(A hand covered her mouth in embarrassment, eyes flicking to the side)
I felt so bad for that...vash seemed to like it though..
(Rem stepped forward, hands clasping one of wolfwoods)
Are they okay? Did they stay together?
(A friend...they've made a friend. +
( Still patting himself down just to make sure )
Small stuff. Like how you raise her and Knives. Uh, the book you read to them and forgot it wasn't the kids friendly version.
I'm Nicholas D. Wolfwood, by the way. The twins..... Friend?
....
Yeah, friend.
.....
Sorry.
I've been on the verge of death multiple times, I thought this one stuck.
( Looks around )
You're not a ghost? I'm sorry, uh, Vash told me about you.
