[ he will return with the pieces of his armor over his arm, but with a bunch of big fluffy blankets, too, and drape one over rindo wherever he's settled. making a clown of himself aside: ]
[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."]
[ 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 ]
[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."]
