[ Guess who got caught in the latest storm without any sort of umbrella despite the way the weather has been for a while now... yeah, these idiots. ]
Wolfwood, come on! [ Vash has already shrugged out of his coat and is now trying to hold it up over Wolfwood's head as well as his own. It's not working out great. It might actually be making things worse. ]

[ Unfortunately for Vash, Wolfwood is not being cooperative. Sometimes a man has never seen rain before—outside of his fake memories, which is weird, how can he have memories of something he never experienced?—so he walks rather casually down the sidewalk where Vash is trying to usher them back to the House.
He frowns, squinting at Vash through the droplets on his glasses, not entirely minding the warmth of his coat. ]
What're you so worried about, spikey? A little water never killed anyone.
[ DID IT? ]

[ They're both already soaked so it's probably worthless at this point, but Vash tries anyway.
It's amazing to see water just falling from the sky like this, abundant, without any Plants to speak of. The damp chill makes the metal staples in his skin ache, but that's not what's making him so anxious. ]
You'll get sick, and then you'll overwork yourself the whole time. [ Vash has no idea how he knows that - these fake memories are so strange. He just gives up on sheltering them both, leaving the whole coat draped over Wolfwood's head. ]

[ Why don't you take the coat then, dumbass. They are pretty soaked, and the coat is little more than a wet weight on his head right now. He thinks that they probably shouldn't be so amazed by this phenomenon, given how everyone around them is treating it as little more than a nuisance.
He's been googling a lot of things, but he'd never thought to question... the weather. That it could be something other than swelteringly hot or full of sand. ]
I'm pretty sure the ability to get sick was experimented out of me.
[ Sneezes.
... Which is follows up with a glare at Vash. Don't say a thing. ]

[ Vash is such a worrier. Wolfwood just ignores him for a second, tilting his head up toward the sky again, careful not to let the coat slip from his head. His glasses shield his eyes from the droplets, but he lets them close anyway, committing the strange pitter patter to memory.
He sticks out his tongue, tasting the rain for a few moments before looking at Vash again, his curiosity satisfied.
He gives his metal arm a look before deigning to continue on their way back to Dodo House. ]
Mm. What about your arm? Ain't it gonna rust with all this water around?

[ It's funny, there's so much here that seems new and wonderful. Vash isn't any less dazzled by it, but more often than not he finds himself watching people instead of things. He'd always wondered what life would have been like if not for what he (and Nai) had done.
There had been movies and books and stories, but there's nothing quite like seeing the casual irritation of people so accustomed to something like rain that it's no more than a nuisance to them. The way it should be. Something they can take for granted, instead of a luxury.
He watches Wolfwood tilt his head up to catch the water on his tongue and something in Vash's chest feels light. He entirely misses the first part of the question, but he laughs and turns toward Dodo. ]
Don't worry so much, Wolfwood. [ Pot, kettle. ] I can take it apart and let it dry off when we get back, it's fine. [ He waves the arm to show that it's totally fine and immediately gets a cramp in his shoulder, so the gesture is somewhat stilted. To add insult to injury, the wind decides to pick up right then, and Vash doesn't quite suppress a full body shiver. Maybe Wolfwood won't notice. ] Oh - have you had hot chocolate yet? I've heard it's good for this kind of weather...

[ Wolfwood actually hadn't been worried, because he assumed that lost tech was fancy enough not to be troubled by a little water—they'd had plenty of that during the Spacefaring Age, hadn't they? (Not like he has any clue.)
His expression flatlines when Vash fails to reassure him in the slightest, shaking his head and giving him a hearty smack to the shoulder. ]
Get a move on then.
[ He picks up the pace, his loafers squelching grossly as he does so. Getting his feet wet by the ocean had been nice, but there's something a little gross about swimming in his shoes. ]
Haven't tried it. You been to the "grocery store"? [ Thanks fake memories for filling that context in. ] Been workin' my way through the seafood they got. Some of it ain't too different from Worms, but some of it...
[ Tentacles. ]
