[Vash was getting use to his life in the city. Some of it has been pretty bad, but for the most part he really can't complain. He always had enough to eat. He had stopped pouring sand out of his clothing. Could have all the water and shower for however long he wanted. No one had tried to shoot him in months. The people here even didn't care about his scars. In fact some people really liked them!

He was currently without a dominate, but he didn't mind. A small grace period to find another one and he wasn't in a rush. Which is why he was taking a moment to enjoy a bit of people watching in the Down. Munching on a donut and enjoying the day.

The only problem was in times like these his mind tends to wander to thoughts of home. Worry starts to settle in. Hoping that his friends were alright without him. Things certainly looking good when he left. Of course, there wasn't much he could do for them here so he tries not to think too much about it.

Besides, this donut was really tasty. Right now he just wanted to sit and enjoy them. Nothing bad could happen on this day, right?]

How about we just say 'gin' instead of yelling it?

Fine, but I still get to do the victory dance if I win. [He winks, but then remembers how long since Knives has had any real fun.] Uh, I'm kidding. I'll save the dancing until I'm better.

[Somehow Knives doesn't trust that Vash actually will save the dancing for later.]

How about this...

For every win, you get five minutes of gloating and dancing and I can't stop you during that entire time, but they can only be cashed in after you are fully healed.

Oh. I think I can accept that. [Knives! No!] And you should get something if you win too because I get the feeling you're not interested in victory dancing. [Vash struggles with coming up with something to offer for Knives. Everything that immediately comes to mind that his brother might want is something he'd refuse to do.]

Although I think you should give victory dancing a try!

I can't think of anything that I would want.

[Honestly, the idea of just being able to play a game with Vash feels like reward enough, but saying something like that makes him sound like a total sap.]

Oh, what about each hand you win you get to pick how I dress for a day! [That seemed safe enough and he can guess Knives doesn't exactly like the symbolism his hair and coat holds.]

I don't care how you dress. [What a stupid suggestion Vash. His expression clearly says he thinks your stupid. But in that normal brotherly way where he rolls his eyes and wonders how someone who looks exactly like him would say such a thing.

Still, he gets the feeling that Vash is going to keep making silly suggestions, when the only thing he really cares about now is his brother's survival.]

How about, every time I win, that's five minutes you rest without whining?

I get the feeling you think I'm a bit of a whiner. [Vash complains with a snort. Taking just the right amount of insult from the eye roll.] But you're on! And it will be a wasteful bet because I'm going to be the best patient you ever had! [Or you know, the ONLY one Knives has ever had. Either way Vash feels like this will be an easy thing to achieve.

Even if he was indeed a whiner when it comes to resting.] And I'm going to win too!

Hm. We'll see. [And he focuses on playing the game for now. As with poker, it takes him a few rounds to get used to the rules, but once he has a hang of it he manages to do pretty well. They seem to be on pretty even footing as far as who wins and who loses. It keeps the game interesting.]

[To his credit Vash does not dance around when he wins. At best he might slap his cards down a bit harder than really necessary while enthusiastically shouting GIN! Probably not something Knives will overly approve of, but Vash avoids injuring himself with his antics.

He'll try once more as they get pack up for bed to give Knives his bed back or to at least have Knives sleep in his for the night, but gives up after that one last try. If Knives wanted to sleep on the couch Vash didn't feel the need to fight him on that.

In the morning he's already feeling better. He stays in bed and they can play cards again. He does fairly okay this time although Knives may need to cash in a few of his 'no whining' wins as the day goes on.

It's the day after that Vash really starts to struggle a bit more. Feeling much better but also a bit dirty he doesn't see a problem with getting up to take a shower. Grabbing a towel and making his way to the bathroom.]

Wait.

[Knives cuts him off before he makes it to the bathroom.]

I'm not saying no. I only want to look at your wounds before you cover them in water.

[Vash sighs. Long, loud, and with a clear pout to his tone.] Alrrrriiiiggghhhhhht. [Carefully he turns and starts to remove the bandages.] Then will you help me with this?

[Knives nods and comes forward to help remove them.]

How do your wounds feel?

They're fine. [They certainly look much better. Scabbed over and a lot smaller than they would be if Vash was human. So long as Vash isn't about to go ripping the injuries open they shouldn't scar at this rate.]

Hardly even hurt anymore. [That probably is a lie. Vash just wants more freedom to move around more.]

[Knives examines the wounds and hums at Vash's claim that is barely hurts.]

Hm-mm. I'm sure.

Yeah! So I was thinking I could go back to work tomorrow or maybe the next day. [You know, as a dishwasher. Not like that job needs him to use his arms very much or anything.]

Are you fucking crazy? Don't you need to move your arms to do your job? It's not like you're sitting at a desk.

[Yes he is crazy.] Well, I mean... yeah, but I'm sure they're fine! I feel fine! Just need to get out of the house for a few hours.

Then go to the park and sit down and watch the flowers. Don't go to work before you're fully healed, you moron!

But what if I get fired! I can't stay away too long! [He complains for a moment forgetting who he was talking to. That his brother really wouldn't care.]

So? Just find a different job if you insist on working.

But I like the one I already have!

Then explain the situation to them and get time off. Any boss who would make you work while injured isn't worth your time.

[Never mind that that's what he did to the Gung Ho Guns.]

[Vash groans.] But there are so many other submissives that they can hire in my place looking for work. [He frowns but he also sighs. Apparently losing the energy and will to fight Knives on this.] But maybe they'll wait.

Fine... I won't go.

And you're not going to join me in the tub or anything like that, right?
