Oh, hello! [ nai's greeting catches his attention and vash turns his head towards the other, waving with the hand that was outstretched towards the cow a moment ago. ] You're here to help as well?

[ wow, that's harsh, shinjiro ... after vash took all the trouble of hauling out the dirty hay and all. he's done most of the hard job already while nai was busy being distracted, okay? he deserves some credit and a little bit of free time to pet the cow if he wants to! not that he really minded the work, of course. it was nice to see nai getting out of himself and not picking unnecessary fights (or participating in violence). for that, he would be more than happy to haul hundreds of bales of stinky hay.

speaking of hay, there's some sticking out of his hair untidily ... not that it makes any difference, being nearly the same colour as his hair, and it already being untidy and standing out in spiky mess as it was as when shinji had found him when vash first arrived. but maybe that's just his constant state? ]

Um ... [ guiltily, vash takes his hand away from the vicinity of the cow entirely, as though he's been caught doing something wrong, slacking off when he should be working. is that why nobody wanted to deal with him? ] Sorry, I'm ... We're nearly done! I'll get the rest done in no time!
