Kassian's almost-smile evolved into a real one at just how quickly Vahni got familiar with him.  He hesitated to call it trust, considering Vahni's life here, but there was a certain, ah, ease with which Vahni grabbed his hands that struck Kassian as nearly innocent in its presumption.

"Slap them."  Aye, Kassian had heard of this before.  Wasn't it a children's game?

He straightened up a bit then replaced his hands where they were.  This was almost unbelievably silly, but...

He made a go of it and missed by about a mile—his reflexes weren't quite into it.

Vahni laughed when Kassian missed, and slapped Kassian's hands in turn. "Heh, gotcha! C'mon, mister tough fighter guy. Gotta be a lil' faster! Unless," he said, and gave Kassian a shrewd look, "yer goin' easy on me. An' I'll have ya know, I'm a master at this game, so don'tcha think ya gotta go soft!"

He replaced his hands and met Kassian's eyes. "Try again."

Kassian would not have expected such a look from Vahni—sharp as razors it was.  That Vahni managed such a look over a hand slapping game should not have surprised him.

He locked his eyes to Vahni's.  "I would never insult your honor so.  I fear you may simple be my better here."

This time he waited.  And waited some more.  He looked only at Vahni, not at their hands.  When the moment felt right, struck—and missed again.

Vahni slapped Kassian's hands again and snorted. "Wow, yer really bad at this!"

Kassian returned the jab with a mock-glare.  "And you're a ungracious victor."

"Ain't really much of a victory if it ain't a challenge," Vahni said, flashing Kassian a shit-eating grin. "Like winnin' against a kid."

"You're a vicious little rat," Kassian said, returning Vahni's grin.  This was the first real bite he'd seen from the kid!

"Street rat!" Vahni said, puffing with pride. "Gotta be vicious or you'll get yer tail gnawed off!"

And then, with a cheeky grin, he nodded at Kassian. "So what's yer excuse? Ya just 'bout killed me th' other day, now yer all timid!"

"Timid, hm?"  Kassian withdrew his hands and rested his chin on his fist.  Sometimes--often, even--Vahni said things that made little sense to him.  "Well, good thing I have you to protect me."

"Yup!" Vahni said with a toss of his silver hair. "I know I'm all small an' stuff, but tha's why it works. No one ever suspects th' harmless lookin' on ones." And with a sly smile, he added, "Ya sure didn't!"

"No, I didn't," Kassian admitted, a wry half-smile twisting his mouth.  Vahni was so good at seeming harmless that even here, even injured, Kassian had never once considered he might be a threat.  He was beginning to understand how Vahni had managed to survive out here on his own.

"Not tha' ya gotta worry now!" Vahni added quickly, and his smile grew less cocky, more sincere as he looked at Kassian. "We're friends now, yeah?"

"Aye," Kassian said.  Didn't even have to think about it, strange as that was.  He...wasn't sure he knew how to be a friend to someone.  Been on his own too long.

"We're friends."  And he held out his hand for Vahni to clasp.

With a beaming smile, Vahni clasped hands with him and gave a firm squeeze. "An' I solemnly swear tha', as m' friend, I'll never steal yer shit again! But if ya need anythin' swiped..." He gave him a wink. "Ya know who to call."

"I'll remember," he said, and meant it.  Having a decent thief as a contact could be useful.

"And I suppose I should offer you the use of my sword should you ever need it."

Vahni looked at Kassian, bit his lip to hold in a snort, and then just couldn't help it any longer.

He burst into laughter.

It took Kassian a few seconds longer, but he got the joke.

"What?"  He grinned down at Vahni as the thief had a fit of laughter.  "Something I say strike you as funny?"

Still giggling and clutching at his stomach, Vahni lightly elbowed Kassian in the side and waggled his eyebrows. "Heh heh, I could sure use yer sword," he snickered.

"Oh yes," Kassian said, reclining back and content to go along with the jest.  "A long, hard sword just for your use."

"With a big, thick shaft?" Vahni said with a wink--before he paused and scrunched up his face. "Er, handle? Hilt? Uh, whatsit called?"
