[Vash has a tendency to wander, especially lately. There's a lot weighing on his mind, and a terrible foreboding that clings to his shoulders. He and Wolfwood had spoken about it once, a feeling of dread that just wouldn't ebb. The only thing that eases the tension even for a brief moment is a walk around the grove, checking each and every corner for signs of something going wrong.
Finding a little shrine isn't that surprising. Finding that said shrine has his brother's name on it? That's something different. But where Vash expects it to hurt, it feels faintly warm. Hopeful, perhaps? He'd made enough of an impact on someone to be cared for, and that has to be something good.
So he makes a point of visiting this shrine daily now, just to remember his brother as fondly as he can. He doesn't know who made it, but there's always been the subtle hope that he'd find out.
And one day, he does. Or at least, maybe he does. There has to be a reason Mizuki is here, tending to it, right? Besides, of all the people in the grove, the young man made the most sense to want to honor his brother, at least aside from Vash himself.
Despite everything, Vash finds himself smiling.]
Hey, buddy - [He clears his throat, trying to keep his voice light.] This something you put together?
