[ being up in a tree (and consequently falling out of it) really can mean a whole slew of things other than subterfuge, but vash gets that this is a tense situation for everyone. military occupation of any area, even if it is well-intentioned (from what it looks like) and sans-violence (even if it may not feel like it exactly, with a sword pointed at him), can't be a pleasant experience. ]

Ahaha... [ apart from both of his hands flying up, palms out towards voryn, vash doesn't make any other attempt to get away from the range of the blade. maybe he really is an idiot. ] I'm just, an advocate of peace!

My name is Vash, I just wanted to come and see for myself what's going on ...

[ his tone turns hopeful. ] You guys aren't actually invading this place, are you?
