I'll be there. [It's a promise. Even if he has to lie to Vash right now, it's for the best. He'll make up for it by spending time with him tonight.
For now, he goes his separate way and brings Rem to the chamber. Weirdly, she finds nothing wrong, and even more weirdly, none of the humans he'd seen moving around were showing any indication of having woken up, even when Rem checked their logs. She just smiled, kindly put a hand on his shoulder and asked if he was tired, to which Nai grumpily insisted an Independent like him doesn't get tired. Not like Vash, anyway.
It's only when they leave the chamber together that a noise makes Nai freeze up. It sounds like a scream coming from the plant room, and it plunges another jolt of fear into him like an icy dagger in his heart.
When he looks at Rem, though, she just smiles and takes his hand, either because she hasn't heard anything, or is deliberately pretending to be deaf to it. Rem had always been a comforting prescence in his life, but looking at her in this moment, he almost feels afraid fo her, too.
He doesn't run to the plant room like he wants to. The noise dies down as quickly as it comes, and he doesn't want Rem following him. Instead, he grabs a blanket, some snacks and a drink for Vash, and goes to find him in the garden. By now, he's not able to hide the upset expression written on his face.]
