Vash blinked cluelessly. “What business did you have on Earth?” he asked. “I wasn’t aware anyone still lived there - I thought it was totally inhospitable.” he explained truthfully. While he was led to believe Earth had been reduced to a dead rock, he supposed it wasn’t implausible that maybe some small human colonies still remained. Or perhaps the planet had simply bounced back, so to speak. “Er, at any rate,” he tried to shake the thought away, attempting to focus more on where they were rather than where they weren’t. “If this isn’t Earth, and it definitely isn’t Gunsmoke, then where are we?” 

Diverting his attention from Ba’al slightly, he glanced towards Nonon and Asphyxious, and only a moment later, popped up between the two of them, forcing them to distance themselves a bit more. “What do you guys think?” he interrupted, shooting them both a friendly face. “Any idea where we are?” he asked, keeping an eye on the lich in particular. While he did still want answers, he also found himself rather concerned with making sure the big scary guy didn’t tear the little girl’s head off.
