Callan's Corruption has lightened since Mizuki and Livio have seen to him. It was always easy to take care of his conundrum; turns out there are more cures than just the obvious excising of the rot. Perhaps, if he was left alone for a bit, he would have fully regained himself, or perhaps he wouldn't have. There's no telling now.
The issue... is simply that Callan is still So, So Corrupted, and that Corruption is clinging onto the soul. With trees, it doesn't have much of a soul to cling onto. With a whole-ass Guardian? It's a raindrop in a lake. The ripples are felt, they're there, but it doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things.
Vash pulls on that Corruption and, perhaps luckily, Callan's soul is too resilient to be yanked out by this. So far, anyway. That doesn't mean much for Vash, though, who has to deal with blowback from this; the Corruption rubberbands, stretches, but doesn't fully detatch. Some of it goes, like pulling glue off of a new credit card, but not all of it.
What does go snaps off of Callan's arm and slaps Vash clear across the face with enough force to at least briefly stun him, if not knock him off his feet entirely, and of course... that rot enters him, too.
Callan has crawled halfway out of the well now, leaning over it in alarm. Vash is free to try again if he'd like to, but know that there will be further IC consequences to this that could affect Vash, Callan, or both of them negatively.]
