[ an outlier is an outlier!!! he's not going to overthink this because he is vax and once again is not meant for too much thinking.
the arm that comes around his shoulders is a little surprising (smooth, emet) but, you know? that touch compulsion means its fine. he just leans into it a little without any real teasing, turning his head to glance up at him. ]
Would've been fucking weird if you were stuck like that longer. Doubt and uncertainty's... what, Iunno. Probably Marine, too. All of ours are fucking depressing. You can't use any blue powers right now, can you?
he gets elbowed gently for this comment!!!! you know what he means! but it's not very hard, so. ]
Maybe that's it. Bringing out the complements, or whatever. I don't know, I haven't had a weird dream and I'm not nearly smart enough to figure out what the fuck any of that means. [ augh!!!! ]
[ maybe. just a theory. colors are dumb. also was that a laugh? that was a LAUGH he knows it was!!!!
vax makes a noise when his hair's being ruffled at, batting at emet's hand, though it's halfhearted. stop his cool hair! ]
Sure, yeah, I guess. Leave the thinking to Percy, if you ask me. [ but emet is right, that vax is smart. he speaks several languages, he's quick on the draw, and knows how to solve problems.
... he just would mostly rather stab the problem than solve it sometimes but you know. ] You two are two peas in a pod for that. Tend to learn by doing, personally.

[with vax's hand still on his arm, he just. ends up resting an arm around his shoulders, idle, not quite conscious of it. touch week, man.]
I am thankful, however, the aftereffects lasted no longer than a day.

I always can, remember. I am crystalline, after all.
[a quirk of one corner of his mouth, because he does have to tease.]
...but yes. I can, in more than purely that sense.

[imagine targeting that when they seem to change. impossible as hell.
he huffs out a breath when vax complains about not being nearly smart enough, though, ruffling his hair but like, partially just in the annoying way.]
But I expect you could manage well enough, had you a need to.
