These weren't the most optimal conditions to go out and lurk around school grounds after-hours. The moon's waxing phase gave off plenty of light, so even with the security booth's dimmed bulbs, Eriks' not-so-stealthy movements nearby are easy to make out.

In fact, it's Wolfwood to get the jump on him, a blind-spot angled tap on the shoulder landing right on the mark. Eriks flinches, jumping straight-up in place, before his right hand folds over the spot of his heart.

"Hheghlo?!," the guy squeaks out very casually, tongue tied from panic.

"Did he ever make any promises to you?"

Vash's teeth audibly click together, jaw tensed when he sees Wolfwood flinch in his peripheral view. He turns to look.

Caught off-guard, the undertaker's jabbed himself in the thumb with his sewing needle, shooting his friend an annoyed glare while muttering a curse under his breath. Hard not to smile about a funny sight like that.

"Don't overthink it," Vash continues then, turning his attention back to scissors and felt. His following explanation is lighthearted, even a little playful, though he's serious about the question: "Thought I'd take a page outta your book, is all. If I've got any outstanding debts owed to you, I wanna know about 'em, at least. You can tell me.

"You've already confessed to the scam thing, though, so… Careful with what you say."
