[Distracted as he is, maybe Vash doesn't notice what Adrian's about to do. Maybe he notices and simply doesn't care. Everything feels so wrong, so rotten that perhaps being wiped out would just be a blessing. It would resolve the situation in JuLai. Wolfwood and Livio would grieve, but they'd have each other.
It would be okay.
But then the world upends itself. Like Adrian, Vash is upended by the force of the earth shaking. His wings don't catch him like they should, and he realizes why as he tries to flutter them — the lower left wing is nearly gone from the first blast fired, while the upper is singed at the bottom.
Wonderful.
But there are more important things to worry about. He sees Adrian go flying, and while logically he knows that he's probably fine, Vash still charges forward as if to catch him. Yep, he is absolutely on the grounds of the lighthouse, but he doesn't care. Nor does he seem to pay attention to the rain.]
Hey - you okay?!
[And while he waits for a response, he turns his eyes to the old Lighthouse. He puts his hands to its walls, trying to make sure there's no damage to something that's clearly important to the guy.]
