[ fret your emotions ]
...yeah. Same thing happened when I went. [ he glances across at percy, for a moment, and the concern and worry stays. ] ... sounds like she was brave as hell, whatever she was stuck in.
[ that doesn't make her being hurt literally any better, but, it's something. ] - Maybe most important, she came back. Fucked up to all hell or not, she's still here.

[immediately kind of burrowing into the blankets despite...wearing a hoodie...and a jacket...and probably a shirt under that. damn bitch. but there's still a flicker of worry there even if there's a note of gratitude. and still a little uncertainty.]
Yeah. I...Meteion and I were making plans, but then she disappeared and...
["I want to be a good friend to her, but I don't know if I can be what she needs right now."]
You get it.

[he jumps a little when riff bumps his knee, but - he manages a smile. it's small, but it's there. after a second, he throws an arm around riff's shoulders and leans against him.]
It's all good, man. [he says quietly, trying to force the anxiety and worry down into the usual cardboard box he keeps it in. sunrise, sunrise, sunrise.]

I'm fine.
[ a very soft wave of calm, again. he's just sort of letting vax have at them. of course all of this is very fucked up and he's pretty on edge, but it's fading just a bit. ]
Just sit. Rest. You did what you could.
[ quietly: ] When we're let out, we can go see her immediately.

I do, yeah.
[ softer for this sweet, bundled riff. maybe gets it better than anybody, actually, that feeling of uncertainty when you just want to help. vax reaches out, and puts his hand on rindo's head. ]
...Right now, we gotta just make it to morning, and be ready to see her then.
[ his baby bird. :< and his baby riff, too. vax ruffles his hair very gently and then pulls his hand up, underlying emotions reading easily under his words - worry, protective worry, care. that same something warm and familial. ]
... y'know, why don't you write her a letter? Or type something on my phone. I'll get it to her. [ tomorrow while the npcs are Occupied ]

[ my teens :(((((
rest, he says. ] Yeah. [ vax runs his hand over his face, then over the top of his head, just holding it there for a second. stress, worry, fear - balled all up together as he takes a big, deep breath, and then exhales.
...
what would keyleth do? ]
-- Let's build a fort, or something.

[ these teens :(((((
he can feel it, the anxiety just faintly leaking in the room, stamaped down by its respective owners. so he just passes what calm he can between the two of them before vax speaks and: ]
It'll be something to do. You've enough pillows for it.
[ he knows he can't ward it all away, but he's willing to at least try. ]

What?
[fort?? he's caught off guard by that, but.]
I - okay, sure. [he takes the pillow, holding it, and then, trying very hard to sound cheerful:] Okay, but you can't let Selchy and Percibro do all the construction because they'll get all into the math and stuff. You gotta make a fort by vibes.

I'm with you, but what the fuck does that mean?
[ what, my good sir, is the fucking vibe
anyway he's been boffed with a pillow that he failed to dodge, so he makes a - ] Mfff. [ noise. ] Go steal the ones off of Yasu and Estinien's beds, it's not like either of them ever use it.

["Shut up."
but he doesn't say that because this really isn't the time to point out that he can feel those feelings, dude. there's a vague, half-hearted disgruntled sound when bass throws an arm around his shoulder and the extra weight is added, but he adjusts just slightly so he can lean more comfortably.]
Yeah, totally. [it's equally quiet. there's a lot going through his head at the moment, but like always he doesn't say so.] ...have you been out every week?
[with other people, he means.]

Vibes - are you serious, Riff hasn't explained to you vibes?
[how very dare] It's like - the mood. Like chill vibes.
[he explains this as he's rolling off the couch to go grab pillows and also just like, probably crouch in the bedroom and die for just a second, it's fine]

[he doesn't push it away for once, sort of staring at vax with a strange sort of forlorn look on his face. or maybe it's puzzlement. or. it's a lot of things. there is a lot going on there, so he settles for a nod.]
...you think that'd work? [incredulous. and a little like "huh, yeah, sure."]
