[ see? it all works out in the end. vex keeps percy from murdering their friends and pike keeps people from dying permanently. it all works out in the end!!!!
(if only he knew) ]
Yeah, we're all kind of way too co-dependent on each other, aren't we.
[ it's not really said as a question, and vax almost kind of laughs about it when he kisses the top of her head. ]
[ Keyleth hums a soft laugh, but it's a heavier thought than she lets on. Do they even know, really, how to live without each other? Really live? Keyleth isn't so sure anymore. And honestly, honestly she would be just fine with never ever finding out.
Maybe they won't have to. Maybe, because of the Storm, they avoided at least that one terrible thing. Maybe she'll never have to look at Vex without the other half of her in the world, maybe she'll never have to learn to live without her heart.
[ he can sense the heaviness, though he doesn't really know how to help her with it. instead of saying anything to try, he just pulls her a little closer, getting just a tad bit more comfortable before letting out a slow, easy breath. ]
So...nap time for the rest of the day?
[ because he can't fix this. whatever is bothering her, either because she doesn't want to burden him with it or it's not fixable. that thought bothers him, but it's also going to have to be something he deals with later.
for now, he'll just bury his face in her hair and let his body settle in that dangerous, i-could-go-to-sleep kind of way. ]
[ Keyleth hums happily, because the idea of a nap--a nap with Vax--sounds absolutely delicious. She nods a little against his chest, lets him orient himself around her to get as comfortable as possible--press his face in her hair and breathe deep, like it's all he needs in the world.
She knows the feeling. This is the most comfortable and right she's felt in a long time. The safest she's felt in so long, to just closer her eyes, and drift. ]
