[ it's a startled exclamation that burst from vash - but it's less surprise than it is some faltering, self-conscious thing (as some insignificant, flayed open creature would flinch at the light of day) as he lifts his gaze up towards where the voice has come from. at first, he doesn't really know where he is looking at - where to put his eyes, as the faceless visor indicates nothing but a blurry, indistinct outline of his own back at him. ]
Um, I'm sorry, [ it's a reflexive thing, the apology. so is the smile that awkwardly carves his face open in an misshapen, jagged line, as vash ducks his head down again to scrub at his eyes quickly with a sleeve. ] It's nothing, hahaha ... I was just, zoning out, or something!
[ he hesitates for a moment, glancing from the palm extended towards him, to the still surface of the water - but whatever it is that he saw in there is now gone, and the water only mirrors back nothing but the moonlight and a vague reflection of both of them standing at the edge of it. ]
There's nothing you have to apologise for! It's just ... [ vash makes an inarticulate gesture with his hand, before he reaches out for bondrewd's hand, letting the other pull him back to his feet. ]
Sorry, again, [ fumbling a little, vash smiles again - tentative, but it flashes out a little brighter, a little easier, a little more in control now. ]
