[There's a rapid and suddenly spike of anger that rips through Vash at the confirmation that Knives thinks he'd enjoy killing him. Perhaps the anger is from the fact that Vash should get some pleasure from it, after all the torment this man had caused him, but the simple truth of the matter is he wouldn't. Even with all the suffering there was still one thing that just could not be changed.
Knives was still his brother and the good memories of what life was like before the fall just would never leave.]
Well. I wouldn't. I've never gotten any joy out of causing anyone pain or sadness, even if the pain would only last a moment. [Unlike some is what he keeps to himself.
Then there was the woman's name. He even knew her last name? Vash scrolls through his mental Rolodex of names and faces that he knew. No face came to him with that name.

Weighing his options and trying to second guess how Knives would handle new information such as alternate realities.
...he had never been very good at playing chess with Knives.]
