[ it's stupid and vash knows it, clinging so desperately to something that was just a small gift, but it's important to him. as important as wolfwood, in a way, something tangible he can cling to when wolfwood isn't around. people don't stay with vash, and wolfwood deserves better than a life on the run, fighting everything that's made him hard and brittle around the edges, a life that can't include vash. ]

Thanks for finding it.

[ it's about all he can manage for now, and the smile he turns on wolfwood isn't even a good fake smile. he is thrilled to have it back, but he feels emotionally exhausted, exposed and tender. he tucks the bunny away in one of the inner pockets of his jacket, to be replaced in his bag later on, and nods in return, following wolfwood back to the van.

no one really talks in the van, which suits vash just fine, and they do manage to make it to the next town by nightfall, the second sun casting the town in shadows with its final rays of sunlight as it slowly sinks beneath the horizon. it's bigger than the previous town, but only barely: there are two hotels, both of them with rooms to spare; one boasts an attached bar and restaurant, where roberto disappears to promptly, meryl following with complaints of hunger.

vash double checks his pocket for the bunny before climbing out of the van, smiling at wolfwood. it's a small smile, but honest. ]
