Ever since Zazie's arrival, Knives has made a habit of checking the contact list in his phone after every eclipse. Specficially, he checks for the names of the Gung-Ho Guns. Even if things with Zazie went well enough, each member of the gang has their own quirks that could make their arrival troublesome for Knives, even without taking into account the unknown element of the other universes.
Legato Bluesummers.
It takes three passes before the name really sinks in. Even when it does, Knives struggles to put the emotions he feels into words. Is he relieved? Pleased? Afraid? No. None of those were ever things he felt towards humans. Especially not a meaningless dog like Legato. He was a tool! Lord… Vash really must be-
Vash! Damn it. Knives has no idea where or when this Legato is from, but any state he might be is almost certainly not good for either Vash. Hastily, the plant clambers out of bed to change into his suit; better to wear something that has a higher chance of being recognizable than any of his new clothes. Once he's dressed, Knives doesn't bother with the door and opens one of his windows to leap out of it; wings quickly manifesting to pull him higher into the air.
Knives isn't able to get to the platform before the arrivals are shuffled off to their new homes, but he does at least figure out they're being taken to Archimedes. It isn't great, Golden would have put more distance between Legato and his Vash (he isn't sure where the other one lives), but at least it isn't Fibonacci.
With a little more searching, Knives lucks into spotting Legato outside and his heart jolts once more when he recognizes the man. Again he's hit with a confusing swirl of emotions, and again he roughly pushes them out of his mind. There isn't anything to feel for the blue-haired human but ownership.
"Legato!" Knives barks in a commanding tone as he lands softly behind the human, his wings quickly dissolving back into energy, "Kneel."
