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.

[foundpurpose]

Exactly the size of Pike! The bars are a bit bigger thank everything but we have to duck to get in.

[For a moment he relaxes. Since he took the deal he has felt off balance. Having Vex back in his sights helps. Hoping the others will find their way is like a golden thread of fate weaving in the air. He steps back as he gestures to the west.]

And who knows? Maybe while we’re here you’ll get wings too.

[usedhuntersmark]

So, hold on, brother. Are we talking about a village of Tabaxi? Or actual cats?

[She lets him lead her towards this strange area. However, she does raise an eyebrow in his direction.]

What makes you think I don't have my own?

[foundpurpose]

Actual cats. [He says before he catches up with the last thing she said and his wings unfold, then resettle.] And you can't just say that without sharing.

Come on. Let me see them. [Vex with wings too is perfect. Maybe their feathers will let people tell them apart but who cares. She has wanted to fly and now she can by more than a broom.] And before I see, I bet they suit you.

[usedhuntersmark]

[She can't help the grin at the way he finally catches up. Mentally.]

I suppose I can indulge you.

[With a little thought about it, a pair of delicate-looking green and dappled-gold wings pop from her shoulder blades and spread out behind her, like that of a Gouldain finch. What she fails to notice is the slight golden aura around her while they're extended, but she's too busy giving him a slow turn.]

I wanted to be angry that my broom didn't come with me, but this works too.

[foundpurpose]

[He stares at her. In a way he's reminded of the Suntree with how the golden aura subtly changes the light around them. If he's the dusk and final moments before the transition between night and day. She's the brilliant light of the early morning, full of possibility. He flares his own wings up, mingling the light of their feathers.]

Yeah, I called it. They suit you just fine. I'm assuming you've tried them out already. How do you like flying under your own power?

[He sets his hands on his hips and grins back. He has worries about this place. But so far it isn't too bad. And really, no matter what is ahead they can make it. He finally relaxes a bit.]

[usedhuntersmark]

[If only he knew just how closely she's aligned herself to Whitestone, Percival and, in turn, Pelor since finally taking care of Thordak. As much as they are identical, physically, they can be polar opposites in the directions they go.

Their wings just seem to make it obvious, if anyone bothers to get to know them beyond their superficial personalities.]

Of course I did. And flying by myself is different, but it's a bit more freeing this way. I don't have to keep a grip to anything.

[She still misses her broom though. While the way she got it was shady, she'd used it for good. Poor Gern.]

So, cat village?

[foundpurpose]

Cat village. [He agrees as he spreads his wings and takes off towards the open sky. He hovers to wait for her as he glances around. The village is to the east.

Once she’s joined him he takes off in that direction. His wings are silent just like those of death walker’s ward. He has the thought that maybe some time if he really needed speed he could use those wings too.]

It is freeing. Flying I mean. I used to want to be able to just take off whenever I wanted. [But his armor didn’t allow that. Now it doesn’t matter.]
