On freezing rain - desert boy doesn't get it

[goldenglasses]

Why is there ice everywhere!? That poor tree is going to bend in half! Are they suppose to bend that way?!

[...]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS NOTHING!? How do you walk out there? [...] Carefully. Hahaha. That wasn't very funny you know.

No, no, no. I don't need to go back to the desert. This is fine. Just fine. I like seeing all the trees, it's just... could I have one of your extra blankets, please? No, I thought not.

And no, I will go outside just because you think it will be funny to watch my hair and coat freeze. It- it wouldn't really freeze like that anyway, would it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WILL!? Why are you not more concerned over this?! STOP LAUGHING!

Because you seem to think it's easy to walk around out there. Prove that. Unless... you're chicken.

[Oh yeah. He went there.]

[returntoeven]

Chicken.

[ Vash, what are you, four? ]

[goldenglasses]

That's what I said.

[In a way?]

[returntoeven]

Idiot.

[ Aaaaaand they're back to square one. ]

[goldenglasses]

Why won't you go outside then?

[returntoeven]

[ Not gonna rise to the bait, not gonna rise to the bait -- ]

You really think I'll fall, don't you?

[goldenglasses]

Yup!

[returntoeven]

Tch.

[ FINE, HE'S GOING OUTSIDE... ]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash knows he shouldn't hope for someone to fall down, but oh gosh, it would be so funny to see KNIVES slip on the ice.]

[returntoeven]

[ Yeah, well, GUESS WHO'S WALKING AROUND ON THE ICE AND SNOW NOT SLIPPING. This guy, that's who. ]

Satisfied?

[goldenglasses]

Hmpth! Well, you had warning about it. [Not that Vash is disappointed or his pride is crumbling or anything.]

[returntoeven]

I've seen ice before.

[ And here he is, starting to come back... ]

[goldenglasses]

Seeing and walking on it are two different things.

1/idk

[returntoeven]

Tch.

[ Still walking, suck it, Vash. ]

[returntoeven]

[ Except there's a patch of ice there. ]

[returntoeven]

[ SLIPPING NOW ]

Aaaand done.

[returntoeven]

[ EPIC FACEPLANT IN THE SNOW ]

[goldenglasses]

[HA! Vash bites his tongue to keep from laughing. HE KNEW IT! HE JUST-]

2/4

[goldenglasses]

[Wait. Why is he trying not to laugh?]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[goldenglasses]

[Except, he forgets to keep his balance as he starts to double over from the laughing.]

HAHAHAH-WHAAAAAAA!

4/4

[goldenglasses]

[And down goes Vash.] Owwwwwwww.

[returntoeven]

[ This. is so. fucking humiliating, he doesn't even.

He just glares at his brother and pushes himself up. Snow all over his face and hair, ugh. He scrubs it off. ]

Serve you right.

[ Very mature there, Knives. ]

[goldenglasses]

[Pushing himself up, and even though his backside is bruised, VINDICATED!] Told you it wasn't easy.

[returntoeven]

[ FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, VASH. He's just going to go back in now, thanks ever so. ]

Tch.

[goldenglasses]

[It takes Vash a bit, on shaky legs, but he'll follow Knives back inside.

This? This smile? This is the BIGGEST: I told you so! Smile Vash has.]
