[ Vax laughs a little as well just because it's nice to hear that chuckle. ]
Yeah. Too good.
[ Too good. Too perfect.
With a smile and a sigh, Vax lowers both hands and gives Dion some of his space back while reaching for his wine glass. Maybe it's going to his head, but if the silliness lifted Dion's spirits, that's the important thing. He'll worry about any hangovers tomorrow. ]
[ They're going to continue disagreeing about that. Vax smiles over at him until Dion has settled. He noticed how cute Dion's smile is when he's laughing, but he keeps that thought to himself. ]
Really? Well then, cheers.
[ He sips from his wine glass once more. Dion just gave him a 'get out of hangovers free' card. Is that wise? ]
[ Which of the two statements is he addressing? Both actually. He does think Vax is too kind, but that simply makes him want to look out for the man, should he need it.
As for hangovers, why should he suffer when Dion is near at hand and can wick off those consequences with his light?
He's silent for a brief while, before asking— ]
Have you someone back home?
[ Vax is more experienced than he is, clearly. And he's a charming, attractive man. It stands to reason he may have someone to return to in his world. ]
[ Vex would appreciate someone looking out for her idiot brother, no doubt. She couldn't hope for anyone more reliable or responsible than Dion for the job.
The question returned gives Vax some pause. He sets the glass down with a sheepish look and gets comfortable on the couch next to Dion once more. ]
Uh.. not really. Not in the same way it was with you and Terence. I felt that way about someone, once, but she... didn't think it was the right time.
[ He got let down as gently as possible. That was over a year ago by now. It's not supposed to still hurt, is it? ]
For what it may be worth, Terence only told me because I'd suffered an injury protecting him. Odin's blade would have slain him, had I not.
[ And thus, his concerns over relative fragility. Terence had admitted to harboring those feelings for a long time, so Dion has no doubt what spurred him was the fear that he might never have the chance to voice his feelings at all.
Dion only wishes he'd voiced them more, but that is hardly a new thought, and he sets it aside. ]
But do you no longer feel that way? It does not sound as though your feelings were spurned outright.
[ Vax phased it as having "felt that way once", so Dion can't help but wonder. ]
[ It's starting to sound like he and Terence are alike in that way. Vax confessed his feelings during a moment when he thought he might never get the chance. It was just bad timing all around.
No, his feelings were not entirely rejected, but they weren't accepted, either. Vax doesn't know what that means. Maybe she just wasn't ready or maybe she was just trying to let him down easily. ]
I don't know. It's been over a year since then, and I've been in this world for a long time. She's my friend. I still care for her, of course. But.. knowing what happens in the future, she would only get hurt.
[ A lot has happened since that moment at the Sun Tree. They quested for vestiges, killed another dragon, and he's been living in Etraya. On top of that, his time in his own world is limited. The important thing is saving Tal'Dorei. Vax doesn't think he'll be able to rest if he leaves his world and his friends in danger. No, the fight must be finished first. Then he can go in peace.
Realizing he's been quiet for a long moment, Vax huffs, then smiles to lighten the heaviness upon him. ]
There was one other, but... it's the stuff of romance novels. Less plot, more action.
[ Not the good kind of romance novels Dion likes. The other kind. ]
[ Whatever happens, it's out of our control. Vex's words still ring in his mind from time to time.
A slight shrug, and he nearly says something but then Dion throws in that remark and Vax bursts out laughing. He's quite red, too. Oh gods. Good thing he wasn't drinking or there'd be wine all over Dion's couch.
How unexpected to hear Dion, of all people, say that. Guess he's read a few of those, too. Not to mention, some of those books take place in fantasy worlds. It's not uncommon to see a beautiful elf on one of those covers. ]
I'm not sure I would go that far, but Shaun might.
[ Presented with a curious new genre right there amidst the expected fare, Dion couldn't help but be curious. He had purchased a few, even, simply for that reason. Their time on Earth was short, and anything he didn't strictly need could be donated to the library, after all.
He smiles at the sound of Vax's laugh. It seems he hadn't expected that at all, which may not be a surprise, given how prim he is. He's written a letter or two that might also surprise others, but he's content to keep that tidbit to himself. ]
I believe this is the first I've heard of Shaun. Is that the other you were referring to?
[ Vax didn't say very much about Keyleth, and Dion said so much about Terence. Guess he owes Dion a proper story, but this one is clearly a happy memory.
A deep sigh and he rests his head against the back of the couch, his body slouching in a comfortable, lazy position as he settles in while turning his head just enough to look over at Dion. ]
Yeah. I met him some years ago. He was.. older. Worldly. Experienced. And a very powerful sorcerer. I was.. in over my head.
[ Vax chuckles fondly as the reminiscing. ]
He's quite a character. And in recent years, he's been the greatest benefactor of my group of friends. We would have been lost without his knowledge and resources.
[ It makes sense enough to Dion not to pry about what seems still to bruise Vax, where naught can be done for it. He does wonder whether Vax might yet be pleasantly surprised when he returns to his home. People were unpredictable in many ways.
No matter what might occur, he would have no way of knowing. But he hopes good things come Vax's way, feeling that he deserves that much at least. ]
He sounds like a good ally to have.
[ He debates commenting upon the rest, though it seems the experience was a positive one in Vax's view, and he's glad for that much. Tales he'd heard regarding certain figures in power and those a good deal younger were often not so favorable.
Not that he knows details, and it wouldn't be his business to ask. It's enough to know how Vax feels about it. ]
I've read of sorcerers in books, but we've no such people in my world. What manner of abilities does he have?
[ A safe question, but one that allows Vax to talk more about the man if he wishes to. ]
He is a good ally, and a good friend. We still.. keep company, on occasion. Or we did.
[ It was nice not to be lonely, sometimes. Were one to say Vax was charmed, maybe even seduced, might not be inaccurate, but he has a genuine fondness for the man. Vax cares about him deeply, and Shaun cares deeply for Vax, as well. ]
Shaun's sorcery is innate, which makes it incredibly powerful. It's in his blood. He can do.. just about anything, I imagine. Create and destroy, but he's always used his magic to help others. And make a profit. He is a merchant, after all.
[ Uh.. wait. Wouldn't Dion know what it's like not having that form of companionship, too? Not in the same sort of relationship, but he was in a relationship.
All of this is going through Vax's mind, so he's nearly too distracted to notice the display of power at first, but then he blinks as the light catches his soft brown eyes, staring at the orb like a bird fascinated by an unexpected shiny thing. His gaze lifts, tracking the moving light around in its circular path. ]
Uh, not rare, exactly, but one of the more unusual ways to master magic.
[ His eyes flick from the light to Dion's face. Were he not both drunk and a little tired, he might not ask. ]
[ His attention is far from pointed, but Dion does observe the way Vax tracks the orbit of that light and the way it catches his eyes. Vax wears black, but the light suits him too.
He hasn't much time to linger on the thought before he's asked the question. His cheeks warm and he clears his throat quietly, glancing away, because he hasn't ever discussed that either.
Still, he recognizes Vax has been sparing in his language, assuredly for his benefit. ]
Well, yes, of course.
[ Of course...? He'll not dwell on it. ]
But circumstances were limiting, so it was far from the sort of...action one might find in a novel.
[ They couldn't be observed, or heard, or suspected. It couldn't be helped, and Dion appreciated what he had, but he didn't think it so dramatic a loss, spare as those instances were. ]
I may have wanted more than he did.
[ The admission is strange to hear himself voice, for all that he'd thought it. He tries to soften the oddity by shrugging it off, though he's uncertain whether it achieves that effect. ]
[ They're discussing a hell of a lot tonight. Vax never would've thought they'd cover this subject when he came up here for dinner.
For a second, he admires the blush on Dion's face. It's awfully cute.
As Dion explains how things were between him and Terence, Vax's expression softens, a slight blush appearing on his own face, too, and he glances down to hide an awkward smile.
Given the books Dion likes to read and his words, Vax can't help but think there's a passionate side of his friend stuffed underneath all of that propriety. And perhaps a longing. It must be hard trying to behave all the time. Vax wouldn't know, of course.
With all Dion had to live with back home, Vax knows the mental and emotional support Terence offered must have been invaluable. Still... the other stuff might have been nice, too. ]
[ Dion shakes his head, the drifting light above them glinting off his earrings. ]
You needn't apologize. I could always have declined to answer.
[ And he trusts that Vax wouldn't have pressed were that the case. He hadn't expected to speak on his own personal matters in general, yet here they are. It doesn't seem either of them are any worse off for it. If anything, he better understands what Vax has been contending with since his arrival.
There are many ways to feel isolated, many ways in which what one was accustomed to back home left a void in this world. ]
I wonder though... It was a great deal to put up with.
[ Not that Dion expects that Terence would have complained of it, and he surely had a sense of what he would be signing up for, but knowing and experiencing are different. He wonders whether there had ever been regrets, but he'll surely never know. ]
Edited (changed a word to fit better) Date: 2025-10-24 07:02 am (UTC)
[ If Dion sidestepped the question, Vax would not have pressed, of course. That's far too personal, but the answer does provide some clarity, and he thinks he understands his friend a bit better because of it.
The glint of light against Dion's earrings catches Vax's eye, just as the light above had. With a small smile, he lifts his hand and reaches to gently touch one of the jewelries from beneath so that it tilts slightly with the manipulation of his finger until it flashes with light again.
One can get used to affection, and though Vax and Gilmore's trysts were occasional, only between moments where they happened to cross paths, Vax appreciated the company of his friend, who obviously cared a great deal about him, and who knew how to alleviate Vax's loneliness in that aspect of his life. When they left Syngorn as children, Vex iced her heart away from others, fearing love. Vax, on the other hand, quietly yearned for it and how wonderful it might be to feel connected to someone both emotionally and physically. But Vex and Percy are the lucky ones.
No doubt, Terence knew what he was getting in to, having known Dion his whole life. With a sigh, Vax removes his hand from its place beneath Dion's ear, though there's the faintest whisper of the back of Vax's fingers against Dion's jaw as it withdraws. Vax's eyes are then cast up to the orbiting light again, shimmering like a star. ]
[ Dion doesn't expect the touch to his ear, but he so seldom expects others to reach for him. It isn't the norm, nor has it ever been. But for once he doesn't shrink from it, merely glancing curiously at Vax.
Yet there is no explanation, nor any question that would amount to the same. Vax simply lets go. And he accepts that, at least until the comment comes.
He sits with it, for the span of a few drawn moments. ]
Alas, I cannot ask.
[ Whether Terence survived or not, he would not see him again. It's something he'd accepted back in Kanver, resolved to it, for he would rather the man live on without him than die with him.
His gaze drifts up to follow that light as well, as it continues its slow circuits in the air. ]
But I hope he finds happiness.
[ If he is to have faith in him, then he wants it to be for that. ]
[ Vax tilts his head a little as he observes the orb. It's difficult to say how long he's resisted the urge, but he finally lifts his hand, his fingers moving in the path of the light as it comes around its bend. Will he feel it? Is it warm? Or maybe it'll give him a little spark. Perhaps it will be bumped off course in some chaotic fashion. It wouldn't be the first time Vax disrupted an orderly flow. ]
He would want the same for you. Your wishes for him would also be his wishes for your life. Whether that life is here or.. whatever happens.
[ If Dion cannot go home because it only serves to cement his death, maybe he would choose to remain here as some others seem to want. Living under Echo's rule isn't ideal, but it might be better than death. ]
Echo commands so much power, yet somehow not enough. Dion can only wonder what becomes of those of them whose time has passed. Perhaps their only reward is death, but none could say.
He hums in quiet acknowledgement... And that luminous sphere pops like a bubble, showering Vax with shimmering light that fades shortly after.
Dion snorts. It's a quiet sound, but it's audible, and it might just imply his light does what he wants it to.
[ As the bubble pops and scatters light, Vax flinches out of surprise, only to be doused with luminescence.
Briefly, it coats his dark hair, his black shirt and his arms. He blinks, seeing it on the tips of his eyelashes. Then he looks down at himself, wondering if it's going to be hard to remove it all, but thankfully, it fades after a few moments.
[ Dion did think it was funny, primarily because it caught Vax off-guard. How often would it be the case that a dragoon might surprise a rogue?
Aside dropping in from some absurd height, that is. ]
It suited you.
[ Sincere statement? Teasing? Yes to both, though the former outweighs the latter. With Vax's dark hair and clothing, a little sparkle had a dramatic look to it. ]
