[ alive, maybe. he's not a revenant anymore, at least - not that percy needs to know that part. he needs to eat, breathe, sleep here. he could die here, as easily as anyone else. ]
I'm not afraid of dying.
[ not under his eye, not under anyone else's, but it's returned with a steadiness and maturity that differs from his usual "running-into-the-fire-face-first-and-coming-out-barely-alive". if percy won't accept it, then vax will, because vax already has. he's long since accepted it, and made his resolute goal here much of the same. the raven queen will come find him eventually. percival has to come home. he will do anything to ensure that is how their time in the prism ends.
death isn't something to be afraid of. it simply is.
but, percy's reactions are hard to miss. vax is observant (though never as much as vex'ahlia), and he knows percy. he knows what he's coming from. (but even still, it surprises him, sometimes. percy is his brother, and he knows that, but sometimes...
well. sometimes he remembers telling him he'd never have his trust again, and now, how silly that seems.)
after a long pause, he sighs, scrubbing a hand over his face, and then drinks from the bottle. ]
...I'm not telling you anything else. That was an inevitability, Percy - the rest of it, you've got to live on your own.
