"Isn't everyone?"

It's only a little wry, which probably surprises him more than it does Faye. In the elevator, he sets the Punisher down, and leans against the wall with his hands in his pockets, frowning a little at that thought.

Anyone on Gunsmoke would say it's impossible; that Vash the Stampede couldn't even believe in redemption, that he doesn't deserve it, that he didn't save the town on purpose, or whatever idiotic drivel the papers and superstitious townsfolk are spouting these days.

But why would he destroy July, then? And what the hell is so special in those thugs that attacked them to make Vash spare them? "As for Vash, he's just soft-hearted. Maybe a little soft-headed too, but hey, that's just my opinion of a guy who won't even attack in self-defense."

He lifts his shoulders in a lazy, uncaring shrug. Thoughts of Vash unsettle him. He'd rather be talking about almost anything else.

"But since you ask, yeah. As a matter of fact, I just came from a Quick Draw tournament he was in. Actually, I signed him up for it. I thought he'd jump at the chance, since he seems to be such a good-doer."

Do-gooder. More like needle haired moron.
