Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
"You are so annoying," Nicholas grumbles, but he leans over so Vash can pluck the cigarette from his hand. The fingers of Vash's metal arm are warm, as if they've been absorbing the heat of the suns all day and are reluctant to let it go. Vash lifts the cigarette to his mouth and Nicholas braces himself for a fit of coughing and choking, but Vash just inhales smoothly and exhales without a hitch in his breath, seeming to savor the smoke on his tongue.
"Not bad," Nicholas says grudgingly, and Vash gives him a lazy smile.
"You think I've never had one of these before?" he says, lifting the cigarette to his mouth again. "Come on, Wolfwood. What else do you think I've never done?"
Just because Nicholas has never seen Vash smoke doesn't mean he doesn't know how. Maybe there are a lot of things like this.

Summary
It's another shitty little town, and another circular argument. Wolfwood realizes violence will never reach Vash the way he wants it to, so he tries something different.
