["Yes, that's why it's a hallucination," he'd say. "You've finally lost it being around all these humans," he'd follow that up with. Vash is a lot of things: over-insistent, a do-gooder, someone who fails to see the hairline cracks in the foundation, way too earnest... but this argument is going nowhere, and Nai can only say "I know everything" so many times when Vash refuses to listen.

An investigation, though, isn't a bad idea. What little he's been able to glean of the place has included mostly the various monstrous beings lurking about, the shadow-people, and the obvious surrounding forest. That is, perhaps, the biggest "tell" that they aren't home. Everything else... it remains to be seen.

Nai cocks his head at the hand-motion.]

[Prove him wrong, Vash, he dares you.]
