... I will ask Bass how he feels, when we meet today. Gauge his current stance on the matter.
[he thinks he might not be as hard as others, maybe.
the flowers get a worried look, but he continues on without pressing... which ends in him coughing a purple elpis blossom. it's fine.]
-mm. But as for the last part... we now know it is possible to save each other. Percy and Hot Pants were. Even if we cannot save everyone, there are ways-- you and Hythlodaeus may have faded, after I saved you in our own trip, but there was no violence. You never tried to kill me.
Mm. I think it's... we talked about it a little. It's getting better. I think he and Riff should try and remember things together - we gotta keep coaxing them all to talk to each other.
[ vax's expression stays thoughtful, even after that, and he drapes a little further over emet's shoulder, settling. he remembers that name, briefly, from emet's memories, and frowns a little. he'd like to not fade away, frankly. ]
Right. That's good. Sounds like an improvement over some of the - I've been on too many of these fucking things, what the fuck. [ GOD WHY IS HE ALWAYS DEAD AND OR DYING ] ...I keep saying it - cheesy as it is. Love saved me and Percy.
[ his sister, after all. ] So who knows what we can do with that. I think we avoided getting fucked up in that castle because we were nice to a monster in it.
[he's quiet long enough that his throat begins to tickle again, that the flowers threaten to make him choke on them again, but:]
"The most important part of you is your heart. Not your mind, or your magic. It is the love I know you possess. The love for us, for our people, for those you have met here."
[he remembers it so clearly.]
Hythlodaeus told me this, ere the two of you faded. And you-- you asked me to promise you both not to let my big brain get in the way.
vax is quiet for a long moment, but there's no tickle or cough to it, as he just settles with that information. there's sort of a bittersweet notion to it, but for vax'ildan - someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve, who has a lot of love to give - it touches home, too.
he tilts his head a little, and turns it - there's no one really around, so he can bonk his temple into his from where he's perched, and just leaves it there, eyes closed. ]
...I agree. [ two words, but they're affectionate, for what this version of his friend from home said, and... that sounds like something vax'd say, too, and it gets a lopsided smile to tug back onto his face, gentle. flurry really always be having to rp my characters in cyoas and i think its very funny. ] Maybe we're onto something, here.
[it's still difficult for him. he doesn't know how to get the words out in the right way, doesn't know if he should say them-- if it is right to.
they're through the moon's archway by now, and so emet-selch pauses out here, with their view of the stars. lets vax's head rest against his, before he tilts his own to steal a brief kiss.]
[ oh, an emet initiated kiss... he's a little surprised by it, actually, if only because he was behaving himself as promised (sort of), and he's left blinking, just a little pink cheeked.
... but, vax's expression shifts to something a little further affectionate, and he lets it be, with that, feeling just... warm. there's no gremlin emotion, here - he settles like that, for now, letting emet pull back from the kiss but staying close enough to lean against him a little more heavily. ]
