You just have to eat the bread, right? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with it?

I'll be ready to heal you, just in case.

[foundpurpose]

Yes, it’s only the bread. Seems okay from close inspection. It’s really warm so probably fresh from an oven or so? Doesn’t seem poisoned.

Come to think of it this is a really weird bet. It’s a bit hazy why they made it? I was drinking a lot at the time.

[usedhuntersmark]

This seems like a bet you, Scanlan and Grog would make.

In this instance, you'd be Grog.

I just want you to think about that.

[foundpurpose]

This is exactly the kind of bets we made. We’re just missing Scanlan cheating. Grog eating more than one.

I am thinking about it. It was a cat I made this bet with. I can probably pass off that I ate the whole thing even if I don’t.

[usedhuntersmark]

Grog would eat all of the bread for good measure, I think. And Scanlan would definitely cheat.

And probably wear a disguise kit while doing so.

A cat? Really? Just how drunk were you at the time?

[foundpurpose]

Uh, somewhere between fucked up and too messed up to stand? Did I mention it was hazy?

It was some good shit whatever it was.

[usedhuntersmark]

You did.

Please tell me you got the other person to pay for the booze.

[foundpurpose]

Of course I did, Stubby! That part I remember clearly. The rest is the mess.

Also the bread. I remember the smell of that. It smelled good at least?

[usedhuntersmark]

Well, there's that at least.

Now I need alcohol to get this conversation out of my head.

[foundpurpose]

Hey, before you get too trashed. There's apparently some kind of dessert holiday drink here called eggnog? People were apparently trying to steal some, so can't be too bad?

[usedhuntersmark]

Eggnog? How is that a dessert?

[foundpurpose]

I have no idea. It sounds it? They take ale and mix with it egg whites, sugar, milk, cream? I don't remember the rest. I think I'm starting to sober up a bit.

[usedhuntersmark]

I suppose we should meet up and start drinking these new dessert alcohols. And hitting on the locals, I suppose. ;)

[foundpurpose]

We should. I can show you what happened because I'm here. Seems like I get wings all the time now. They don't look the same. It's kind of weird. Where are you right now?

[usedhuntersmark]

What do you mean you get wings all of the time? I thought you could only do it once a day?

And, honestly, I don't know where I am. A town square, I think. It's definitely not Whitestone.

[foundpurpose]

Of course, it's not. Did you talk to that fox too? They offered...offered to test and draw out your full potential, right?

But, town square. I know where that is. Sit tight, I'm on the way.

[Sober enough to fly at least. Or reasonably sure he is.]

[usedhuntersmark]

Yes, I think so. I was a little drunk at the time. We'd been celebrating and I thought I was seeing things.

[What? Vax doesn't have the corner on dumb decisions made while being drunk.]

Try to avoid crashing into trees. It hurts.

[foundpurpose]

I'll be alright, Stubby.

[It isn't long at all before there is a faint glimmer of light from above. Vax'ildan looks the same as ever. The deathwalker's ward makes him a shadow in the sky. But the wings are different.

They're bigger and the feathers look like the sky at dusk. The faint glimmer of light comes from what would be the sun's final rays. He dives down and lands, sighing.] Last I remember, we were about to push into Emon and end Thordak for good.

[usedhuntersmark]

[Vex looks around and rubs at her eyes. Her head is starting to really hurt. And the fact that she's here is kicking in, when she should be back in Whitestone.

When Vax's wings start to blot out the sun, she shields the rest of the light out with her hand and watches as he lands beside her. Then he says what he does and she has to think things over before she answers that.]

That...happened a while ago for me, Vax. Months ago.

[She's not sure what else to say, but she knows that telling him more might not be helpful, since they weren't on Exandria.]

[foundpurpose]

[There is a moment of silence as he stares at her. Of all things he hasn’t expected that. But the shock bleeds way into satisfaction.] I see. Well, I wonder why our benefactor made this offer.

I’m not going to back on the deal but, [But at least Vex makes it and that’s enough for him. Thordak falling is…it puts to bed an old ghost. He sighs and folds his wings, tucking them in so the glimmer of the ends of his feathers isn’t annoying.]

I’m glad you’re here. Whatever is going on here, we can handle it.

[usedhuntersmark]

[She doesn't need to be a mind reader to know what her twin is thinking. She's had the same thought over and over since seeing Thordak's hulking corpse hit the ground and stop drawing breath.]

I don't know either. It was a bit out of the blue. [And while Vex has Vax, just like old times, there's a sense of sadness that makes it impossible to be truly happy. They were fine before, just them, but without the rest of Vox Machina—and two others specifically—she's not sure how happy they'll stay.]

Well, of course, dear brother. Although, when I find that fox, I'm going to ask her why she didn't allow Trinket to come as well.

[foundpurpose]

…And why the rest of Vox Machina wasn’t given the same offer. Keyleth and Percy at the very least. They both have great potential.

[The sadness he sees hidden in his twin sister’s eyes is mirrored. It feels like a part of him is missing. Vox Machina is their family. The place they belong. He could have told himself over and over it was fine but, he wouldn’t truly be happy until he returned to them.]

Maybe we can convince them to let Trinket be here. And maybe the rest of us are coming in time. I think I arrived first and now you’re here. It’s possible we turn around and they’ll show up.

[usedhuntersmark]

[Of course he knows exactly what she's feeling. He was the one to push her outside of her head to talk to Percival after her confession.]

Honestly, it's a shame that Grog isn't here. I have a feeling he'd very much appreciate everything this strange place has to offer.

[She reaches over to hug her brother briefly before looking around. If they continue to talk about their friends, their family, it will only hurt them more and she won't do that.]

Then let's not waste any time, shall we? We can look for the others while we take in the landscape. Perhaps we'll find something to distract us for the time being.

[foundpurpose]

[He returns her hug and stretches his wings partly around her. Just for a moment. These wings feel like part of him as if he had always had them. It’s a weird feeling.] Yeah, I got to show you the village of cats.

They’re wearing clothes and manning shops and everything. [Like the one that made that bet with him.] Everything is their size. Even the tankards.

[usedhuntersmark]

[For a moment, she allows herself to relax completely into her brother's hold. Even with the wings, it's probably the best hug she's had since Vesrah.]

An entire village of cats? Is everything the size of Pike?

[Please say yes. And if this is where he made this stupid bet, she can at least find out the one that he was stupid enough to bet with. And persuade them to do what she wants. Eventually.]

I can't wait to see it.
