[ The instant that Meryl lurches back away from him, Vash does the same, the movement quick and jerky like he's making a great effort to put the space between them that seems to be needed in the moment. He blinks owlishly, both of his hands lifting up in a surrender gesture almost immediately after. In a way, it's a weird kind of call back to their first meeting all those months ago.
Wah- When she doesn't say anything else and instead just stares at him, he's quick to slip a thin little smile on his face, his eyebrows up turned in an expression that is hopefully a little less alarming. He is however, a little concerned about the crying, that certainly is not something he'd seen Meryl do, and right now it's more than a little over the top.
But, one thing at a time. He almost, ALMOST flinches when her hand shoots out towards his face, but he mostly manages not to, save a slight duck of his head. The patting of fingers over his hair is ... different, and certainly has him tilting his head a little to one side. ]
Hahaha, hey, hold on. It's good to see you too, Meryl.
