Title: Foreshadowing

Knives was in a bad mood. Vash, blissfully unaware of it, ignored him as he trotted down the hallway. As the passed one of the humans, Knives noted darkly at the way the human recoiled from them. It was slight enough that Vash wouldn't notice, but Knives was watching for it. It never failed to appear, except with Rem.

And it bothered Knives.

Why didn't she act the way the others did? Why wasn't she affected by whatever it was everyone else was? And why was she so set on teaching them her own damn beliefs?

Knives was too smart for his own good and was thoroughly underestimated by the woman who believed them to be empty slates, waiting for her teachings. And he was in a bad mood. This did not bode well.
