[ seeing him smile makes her smile right back, heaving a sigh of relief. ]
I should be asking you that. [ she reaches out to boop him gently on the nose, before pulling a chair up to sit next to him. ]
I'm...okay. Still shaken from everything, but okay.
[ her smile falters for a second and she has to reach up to rub at here eyes, as they gloss over. her voice a little shaky: ] I'm just glad you're both...you're both okay.
[ booped! he goes a little cross eyed when this happen, and then just looks instantly more fond. his sister just did this to him an hour ago, after all. ]
...Yeah. Me too. [ this relief is very genuine. he doesn't seem at all opposed to ruby's company, either, looking her over briefly to make sure she's actually alright, at least physically. ] Iunno what happened, and neither do the residents, but, I'm grateful.
...Did you see her, Rubes? [ warmth there, a little effusive. ] My sister.
[ there's a little worry there, about the unknown, but she's decided to simply worry about that later and focus on them being alive. and yes, she's fine physically, maybe looks a little tired, but otherwise perfectly okay.
she nods. ] Vex, right? She's amazingly warm and strong.
[ and even though there was no face. ] And beautiful.
Yeah, she is. [ he can be this sweet about vex, right now, because she's not here - but she was. it was exactly what vax needed to see, exactly what he needed to carry on after all of the suffering of the past few days. ] Figures, she'd have to come save our asses.
[ hearing vax talk about her with such fondness, it makes her smile. ]
She couldn't let her boys go down like that. [ she reaches out to place a hand over his. ] Her love for you, for both of you, is stronger than whatever this place throws at you. And that love is what saved you.
