[his brother made an interesting spectacle of himself, hurrying to and fro at the whims of others' directions. there was purpose to it, knives could see that much, but the sight of vash following orders, offering assistance and encouragement with all the zest of someone just too happy to be of help, it still sat wrong with knives. he'd been spending more time by vash's side, especially since the results of his sentencing. a quiet spectator, a shadow vash couldn't quite shake, but it also came with the caveat of knives behaving himself. there would be no strangers' blood spilled for now, not when he was too preoccupied in simply observing his brother.
he doesn't stray far from vash's side, only to pet the occasional stray cat or watch as birds gathered along rooftops scatter into the air with an odd kind of fascination. his interests always did skew slightly off.
the tables of food are inviting, and the smells are not unpleasant, but knives' attention is instead focused on vash as he attempts to juggle a handful of pastries and a dangerously steaming mug of some sweet-smelling drink. it's almost comical, maybe even a little endearing... if he wasn't thinking about how vash might burn himself if he drops that mug.
so he holds out a hand, an offer to take the drink for him.]
Give it to me, before you make an even bigger mess of yourself.
