"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. ]
