[DON'T JUST CONTEMPLATE HIS CHIMERA HEART ask him... ask him about it..........
He's just returning the baffled look with a lil curious cant of his head, blinking a bit owlishly. DON'T JUST RUN FROM HIS FRIENDSHIP SPEECHES. Though the mention of Callisto has his brow furrowing, lips pressing briefly together in a thin and worried line.]
[STOP. He's getting there..... The heart that got him in trouble, got him killed, and the heart that plagues Lucien's nightmares.]
Ah... Very... seriously. He really is a no nonsense kind of man, huh? I think he tried to trick me to see if I would slip up. He made it sound like you had told him already about Vash.
[WHY IS HIS HEART HAUNTING LUCIEN'S NIGHTMARES. BE NORMAL ABOUT HIS FREAKY LIL HEART.]
Oh! Aha, no, he knows that Monsieur Vash is here... [SWEET VIKTOR him just playing coy while Knives is out there like no he definitely told me.]
But! He doesn't know how he died or where his body is, and he doesn't know where we are. Though not even we know where we are for sure, so that part's a bit moot.
[Long story. Lots of ancient, Eldritch trauma among other things. It's fine. IT'S FINE! Also, he almost cornered Dahut and shoved his cane into Dahut's chest about it, but luckily... it was cleared up...]
I realized after talking to him more, yes. He said he didn't care--a little concerning--but... did you happen to tell Vash about this?
[STOP BEING ELDRITCH TRAUMATIZED BY HIS HEART WHAT THE FCK YALL. DAMN. Also that would have been so funny TCH misunderstandings being cleared :ben:
The idea that Knives "doesn't care" is definitely making both of his brows raise, though.]
Doesn't care that Monsieur Vash is here, you mean? [GIRL??? As for that, with a light sigh:] Someone else told him first, so he does at least know that his brother is here. He's apparently reluctant to talk about it, but I think I might try, anyway...
Sorry, I meant... He said he didn't care of Vash knew he was here. [Which makes the next part equally as hilarious still.] Oh...
[SOMEONE REALLY RAN THEIR MOUTHS TO HIM.]
I don't think it's... a bad idea. I don't... [He paused, sighs.] I don't know if you will agree, but I think we should try to see if he will assist us in trying to get out of here.
I know the condition is he wants Vash returned to him, but... this is why I think it's not a bad idea to speak to Vash about it.
[I SIMPLY THINK HE SHOULD BE BULLIED. HE IS SO SMALL AND BULLIABLE. JUST A LIL FOOTBALL TO KICK AROUND!
Anyway, he just nods at that, he hates this, god, why is it always some weirdass family drama.]
Aha... Well, I'm sure it's no surprise that I'd rather avoid throwing any potentially dangerous wildcards into the mix, but I'm not exactly opposed to the idea. Unfortunately, we're in a situation where any help is good help! For now, at least. So I agree that we should at least get a feeling for where Monsieur Vash stands on... [MAKES A VAGUE HAND GESTURE.] ...all of this.
I don't... particularly enjoy the idea of relying on him, but... I do agree we have so few options. He is quite volatile, so the idea is... risky. I told Lucien... to try to figure out who in the Senior Crew didn't belong.
I think if anyone can convince him to assist us... it would be Lucien, or someone else not human.
[Lucien is not human, but also Lucien's personality is bad.]
You and me both. [Regarding not WANTING TO RELY ON MILLIONS FUCKING KNIVES god he hates it here.] I'd say maybe it's less a matter of relying on him and more a matter of keeping our options open for now?
But I would agree with that. He reeeally doesn't like humans or human-adjacent things, so our best bet is someone who isn't by a pretty wide margin. Even Monsieur Scien and myself would be counted among humans by him... Maybe we could rely on Monsieur Sidon? After, you know... He has time to acclimate.
[IT'S A LOT. But also, Sidon is their next most obviously not human guy and his personality is so much better.]
[No, let them get help from Millions fucking Knives. I think that's so funny. I think that is also funny for Knives to be forced to exist and rely on the help from humans.]
I could ask him, but... Prince Sidon is a very good man, so I'm not sure... he would be willing to work with someone as risky as Vash's brother. Especially not if Vash's agency was put into question.
[THEIR MILLIONS KNIVES BACKUP... HELP!!! That is very funny though yeah that's what he deserves.]
Ooh, that's true... [Sweet Sidon with his heart of GOLD!!] But! I think you're right about that, too! We can at least float things by to see where he stands, if nothing else. It's better for all of us to be on the same page about these matters.
[Vash your plant stripes. Dahut's head cants a little to the side, considering.]
Monsieur Vash also appeared in the dream that I was in, but he spent the entire time protecting me until his brother turned him into stone.
[WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO SWEET VASH.]
So if he does have something to do with what's going on, I don't think that it's intentional... I don't think that Monsieur Vash is a malicious person.
[Well, that sucks. SPEAKS LOADS WELL FOR KNIVES, FOR SURE. Thinks about how Knives kicked him outta the dream when he tried to be nice and get Knives to show him more interesting things.]
I meant... his brother. Do you think his brother has something to do with what is going on with the ship?
[do you think about how you've had to pretend dahut isn't an idiot who misunderstands things twice now because i aki can't read
KNIVES REALLY SAID FUCKIN BYE THOUGH HELP. This is so funny. That man's subconscious mind would be so fun to inspect with a microscope. He seems to be considering the question for a moment, but eventually, he shakes his head.]
I don't think so... I have no factual evidence to back up that hunch, though.

I didn't ask him... for obvious reasons, but... do you think he has something to do with what is going on? [A pause.] In his dream... Vash appeared.
He started glowing. He had... these strange marks on him. Like the markings beneath what his brother had been wearing.

This seems to... relieve Viktor somewhat, though perhaps not totally. No one can ever be relieved when Knives is involved in anything.]
That's alright. I suppose we'll proceed with caution.
no subject
Valid though, he's also not relieved despite being the one to give this assessment.]
That's about all we can do, right now.
