[ well that was A LOT. and ruby is back in medbay, this time here to check on vax. ]
Vax...
[ she spots him laying in a bed and walks over, frowning at the state of him, even if he's gotten some attention, he still looks like he went through hell. hateful. ]
[ that sure fucking was a lot im sorry i missed our teacups for this
anyway here is vax! his injuries are (waves hand) while i wait on my medbay comment, but he is alive and at least breathing, and for ruby, who looks so sad, he manages a little smile. ]
...Course I did. Can't kill me that easy. Did you hold the fort up alright...?
[ he can joke about it if ruby doesn't, looking down at his leg. look. it's not the first time.
but! ah! he's gonna answer her question about the cake when he is suddenly presented with a tiny little present? a friend? a bear??? ]
...Rubes. [ surprise crosses his face, and he sounds.. touched, actually, the wider eyes softening a bit, as he takes it in his good hand and toys with it. ] ... thank you.
[ and then holds it out to her, reaching to boop her gently on the nose with it. ] Trinket Junior, then.
Mmhm. [ iirc he hasn't told her so this works out perfect. he pulls the little bear back and fiddles with it for a second, expression softer than you would expect for someone talking about an actual fuckoff large bear. ]
My sister's. Trinket's a real bear, though. Big as a horse. Well trained, even if he smells kind of funny.

that little smile gets her to smile a little back, but her eyes look so sad. ]
You kept the pinky promise...[ sniffles a little ] I did my best, I think we all did...
[ :stressedbun: ]
no subject
Yeah. I promised, didn't I? Maybe wasn't all that careful, but I promised I'd be alright. [ a beat. ] I baked a cake, even.
no subject
You made it back in one piece...well [ pauses. shakes head. nevermind. ]
Was it the cake you all landed in??
[ she's going to place a teddy bear on his chest, gently. ] This is for you, I made it myself. [ smiles lightly. ]

ruby smiles at him and nods. ]
You're welcome- oh!
[ the boop makes her giggle a little, scrunching her nose. ]
Junior? So there's another Trinket?
[(idk if she would know or if that's something her would have told her before so we'll just go with this!!)]

[ awful ]

Your sister must be pretty skilled, if she has a real bear as a companion, and really cool.
[ she could look past the funny smell. ]
no subject
[ though his expression warms up immediately, notably, there's something sadder to it - further away, and his smile's not quite all the way there. ]
...Yeah, she's pretty fucking cool. She's an archer, too - could hit a target halfway across the world with her eyes closed.
no subject
her eyes soften. ]
She sounds like an awesome fighter and sister. I'm sure you can't wait to get back home and see her.
[ me, sweating. ]
