[Vash finally smiles at the mention of houseplants. He's not completely sure if his brother is joking or not, but just the change in conversation helps his mood.] Good. Because I put one in your room. Now that I have more space I might pick up a few more later too.

[Just fill the place with flowers. He'll try to keep the red ones to his own room.]

I hope the food is alright. With a proper shop I'll make better pasta for you sometime. [He tries to fill the air with conversation. That way his mind can't start drifting back to the future and what this city expects of them soon.]
