CHAPTER 8: Mindless Babble
Vash gently stroked Maryl's hair as she slept upon his chest. He starred at the ceiling, thinking only of the night before. How he wished it could have lasted forever. Today would not be peaceful. This day, he would have to travel again. History was repeating it's self. Vash would once again, find himself in the everlasting hunt for Knives.
"Knives."
He spoke the name. His brother, but still his enemy. He looked down at Maryl. It would be no use trying to keep her out of this. She would fallow him to the ends of this God forsaken dust ball.
Maryl began to stir. She opened her eyes and looked at Vash. He smiled, but she only sighed. She too, knew what the day ahead could bring. The two sat up. Maryl stretched, and pulled of the blankets, getting up. Vash did the same. Maryl rummaged for some clean clothing and handed Vash is usual dressings.
The two were silent.
After dressing, Vash went back to his room to retrieve his gun, while Maryl checked over each of her derringers.
After a while the two met in the main lobby of the hotel. Maryl checked them both out, and the two left through the front door.
After hours of silence and travel, Maryl spoke.
"Vash?"
He looked at her.
"Yes?"
"What are you going to do once you find Knives?"
Vash looked at the horizon ahead of him.
"I don't know, Maryl, I don't know."
Vash ran his fingers through his long hair, smirking as he did so.
"I think I'm about due for a hair cut."
Maryl smiled.
"I hadn't noticed it, until just now. But you're right, it's getting a bit long."
Vash looked ahead.
"Sure is hot out today."
"Yep. But then again isn't it always?"
Vash laughed to himself.
"What's so funny?"
Maryl asked, concerned he might be laughing at her.
Vash gave her a sideways look.
"You do know what we're doing don't you?"
"No."
"All this mindless babble, we're using it as an escape."
Maryl smiled.
"It's ok. I enjoy your babble. No matter how mindless it may be."
Vash smirked, and gave Maryl a playful shove.
Maryl shoved him back, knocking him over.
Vash sat up on the desert ground, and grabbed Maryl by the arms, pulling her down with him. She landed with a thud.
"Vash! You louse!"
Vash got up and ran, Maryl playfully threatening and chasing him towards the setting suns.
