SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 72! The fall out of the last minute or so.
He’d said they were going to talk later. And now Vex was here to have that talk, dammit.
How dare he steal her thunder like that?

“I just…
Don’t want things to change for no reason,” she muttered into his shoulder. She
didn’t actually need the propping up from him, but it felt nice, so she kept
playing along. “You know, when we talked today? I mean, besides the fact that
we talked about death and resurrection and undead, it just was… Kinda nice to
talk to him, you know? Like nothing happened?”
“But things
happened,” Vax said softly. “And things will continue to happen. We could all
die when the next fucking dragon shows up here, and remember how that felt.”
“That is
such a mean argument,” she protested. “Oh, bye Grog. I guess.” Vex waved at
Grog as Vax led her out the room. Grog toasted her and went back to drinking.
“Yes, it’s
mean, but it’s also true,” Vax admitted, dragging her along. “Remember
Tiberius? That could be all of us in any moment.”
“Not as
well as you do,” she snorted and poked him in the side again. “And now I
instantly feel horrible. I’m drunk, don’t judge me. Also, really? He’s the
example? When we’re all in this shit just because of that time we all built a
pillow fort around Percy’s cold, dead body?”
“Is that
when you realized you are in love with him?” Vax asked in disbelief.
“I told the
fucking tree like a week before that, remember?” She now punched him in the
side now. “Keep up, man.”
Plans are made and also fail, more drunken awkwardness happens, and people talk. A lot. Just not what they’re supposed to be talking about.

Spoilers up to episode 69 in text, 70 in spirit. “I feels really third grade in here.”
“For fuck’s sake…” Vax muttered and half-dragged, half-carried his sister with him. “Have you tried talking to him yet?”
“Oh,
sure!” She retorted, making a grand, sweeping gesture with her free arm
and most of her body, forcing him to tighten his grip on her. “Why
hello Percival, so glad you’re alive again, and by the way, I… I…” She
apparently couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Vax sighed deeply.
“You did it before, and I’m sure you can do it again and be a bit more eloquent about it.”
In
which Vex is stubborn, Percy is emotionally constipated, Vax is a
thoroughly annoyed but effective matchmaker, Scanlan and Keyleth find
their true calling, Pike is somewhat glad her service to Sarenrae tends
to keep her away from this train wreck, and Grog is both happy and
confused that he suddenly has more drinking buddies than he used to. A
drama in 3 acts.
@actualinspectorkemp got me into this horrible soap opera-esque mess. Suckered me into it with drama and a pairing and shit and now I can’t get out and write fanfiction out of frustration. And y’all get to suffer along with me.
