[Well, to be honest, Basil is glad he's not having a despair induced breakdown! It is...definitely abnormal that he isn't, though, and it shows in the way his eyes widen as Vash just...laughs about it. Like he just got off an elevator onto the wrong floor accidentally.

So, for a moment, Basil is left a little lost for words. His mouth works soundlessly, his tail sort of curling nervously around his ankles.]

[He's? Pretty sure?? Everyone he's EVER talked to says it's the Fog's doing...and also, why ANYONE would ever come here willingly is beyond him.]
