anyway smashcut to a few minutes later and here is vax, sitting cross legged in front of the tree. it has too many sun tree vibes for this not to do something - for not the first time, vax wishes keyleth was here.
he gives percy a sup nod whenever he shows up. yo. ]
[ he already knows what being left on read means at this point when it comes to vax.
upon arriving and seeing him there, percy gives him a nod in turn and approaches, finding his eyes tracking the tree itself for a long moment, its arching dead branches, its handless clock. there's something like familiarity in his eyes before he moves to have a seat down by the decrepit tree. ]
To water the tree won't be enough... though it'll certainly be a start.
I'd wish Keyleth were here, but this place is abysmal.
[ it wouldn't be as abysmal if she was, but he doesn't say that out loud, just makes a quiet, agreeing noise. vax can't think too much about that right now, because the wound is only just sutured over, and if he prods at it too much - who knows where it might send him.
he steps up to the tree again, lifting his head to look up at it proper. ]
Better than doing nothing. [ might as well try to bring it back to life. this is not what he was expecting from being the raven queen's champion but here we are. ] ...She'd be pissed at us if we didn't try.
[ it wouldn't be, but percy would feel too much for her. imagine keyleth in such a dark place, no doubt trying to light it up with her presence alone. he stands there side by side with him a moment more before lifting his hand, placing it there against his shoulder. ]
Precisely. Now...
[ he glances down at his hands ] Let's start with water... and then perhaps think on whatever else we might be able to do after. Just... to get it all started.
I can create water so between the both of us we'll have, what, two cups? Not nearly enough for a tree but. I'm sure it won't complain considering how dead it is... [ not like they could have had keyleth talk to it since all their powers are so damn nerfed. ]
[ he doesn't say anything to the hand on his shoulder - just glances at percy - but it's appreciated, and obviously so. he takes a breath afterwards, in and out, and then squares his shoulders.
right. ] Two, yeah.
[ he frowns at his hands for a moment. whatever level 1 druid shit he has is not meant for this. ]
...Probably needs light. [ since this place is so dingy. ] And... 've got the green one. Maybe there's a handful of something we can make it that'll feed it. Something.
Shale wasn't able to give me much information on it when I asked them... but maybe they would still be able to tell us what sort of things a tree like this might need and if we can make it.
[ a half laugh ]
I bet we could use the undead as fertilizer if we truly had to.
