It was more like respect than appreciation, but it was close enough. Vash thought it kind of funny how fast that got the other guy acting friendly. It was way better than the way he had been scowling before. "Actually, I'm not," he said with a laugh. "It was a gift, and I wasn't going to pass it up just because of that." He could still use the gun just fine, anyway.

Vash replaced the gun in its holster with a quick motion, the way he had flipped it from its position in his hand somehow not awkward at all. "I'm Vash," he then said with a smile, offering his gloved hand to the other man. It was past time for some sort of introduction, seeing as how they were still talking.
