[ is jostled ]

You're embarrassing! [ sticks tongue out at him ]

But we're gonna wait til he's had some time to rest, before talking about it all together.

[daggering]

[ he makes a playful grab for her tongue, not actually trying. ]

Good. You know, they're both gonna need some help having that conversation. Counting on you, huh?

[petalbursts]

[ acts like she's going to bite his finger. hehe. ]

I hope I can help...[ stares at ground. sighs and looks back up. ]

I'll do my best.

[daggering]

[ noogies her immediately ]

That's all anyone can ask for, kiddo. You wanna know something?

[petalbursts]

[ WAH ]

What's that?

[daggering]

[ when this noogieing is over he leans over and smacks a kiss on the top of her head. mmmwah. ]

Love you, kid. I'm glad I met you. 's all.

[ and then will free her from noogie prison ]

[petalbursts]

[ she's free from the noogie prison, but then she's turning to him and hugging him tight.]

I love you too, Vax.

w7, saturday post-trial (??)

[petalbursts]

[ ah the rooftop. the rooftop for vax. vax's rooftop.

ruby comes up and hops onto the railing, leaning against vax. ]

[daggering]

[ there she goes!! vax has a smile for ruby when she hops up, affectionate, and reaches out to ruffle her hair. ]

Hey, Rubes.

[petalbursts]

[ smiles back at him! ]

Hey, Vax.

So...think we'll get to go home soon? Everything seems to be coming to an end.

[ there's a sadness to that, just underneath the surface, and her smile fades slightly. ]

[daggering]

Looks like it.

[ it feels like an ending, doesn't it? like they closed a chapter in a book.

...vax hums, quiet.] What's the first thing you're gonna do when you get back?

[petalbursts]

[ swings her feet ]

Make sure everyone is okay...we were in a big battle before I woke up here and I want to see if they all made it out alright.

[daggering]

Yeah? Who are you most excited to see, you think?

[ vax seems - happy, to listen to her talk like this. just content, honestly. ]

[petalbursts]

That's kind of hard...but I think, Blake. Yang, Weiss and I were able to meet again, beforehand, but Blake was still gone...She showed up during the fight, but we didn't really get to exchange any words before...

[ closes her eyes. ]

Before there was a giant illusion of Salem and everything went black.

[ opens them again, staring ahead. ]

owo what's this?

[daggering]

On Sunday morning, Ruby will find something unfamiliar among her things...
