And is there opportunity for you to achieve that goal in this place?
You're far more honest about such matters than most about such matters. Don't let this place try to wedge that dedication between you two.
Yes, she's an acquired taste. She will do her best to antagonize people, yourself included. She is my daughter, and I hold the same sentiment as you do for your brother.
That remains to be seen. Until I can find a way to open a connection between them and myself, there is little I can do that would benefit them right now.
Even if Vash ends up resenting me for my choices, I am resolute in following through. Whatever it takes.
Time will tell if this place puts dampers on your future plans. One must also consider that we currently have no means to choose to go back to our original places.
Will he not respond in kind if you were in danger?
[Dangerous people making deals it seems.]
We do. I hope we can consider our dedicated people to be off limits from overt harm then.
I have considered it, yes. Every possible scenario must be taken into account.
No. He would not.
[knives remembers looking down into the barrel of that gun, the look in his brother's eyes before they were parted. of course, he could be wrong, maybe vash would protect him in turn... but knives won't risk betting on it.
but answering 'no' might dissuade silco from potentially using vash in the future. his brother having nothing to offer means he is safer for it.]
So long as Vash is unharmed, then we are in agreement.
A planner and strategist. That will come in handy in our attempts to shake off the Council.
A shame. He comes across as a protector to me.
[That said a lot about the relationship that the brother's had. Silco also wasn't above putting that claim to the test, though he would have to think of the best way.]
As long as Jinx is not harmed, we are in agreement. However, I have no issue with you verbally tangling with her.

[He will and has murdered for her.]

[a poisonous seed planted by that woman...]
She seems to enjoy causing strife with strangers.

[Curious, curious!]
Yes, seeking out weaknesses and bothers in others is one of her many skills. Once you get to know her, she softens up some.
