[ there’s no reply for quite some time. when it does come, vax is quiet, and he sounds... tired. ]

yeah. i think you believe that. but i don’t think you know how to show me.

[ another pause, and now he sounds a little more resigned. ]

i think it would be best if we didn’t try for this anymore. i have feelings for you and being around you when you can’t return them hurts too much. i can’t anymore, percy.

[had they been trying for something...? That is news to Percy. So, maybe, this is what needs to happen.]

The last thing I want is to hurt you, Vax'ildan.

[vaax]

[ vax laughs, a humorless barking laugh before he touches the earring again. ]

it’s too late for that. i hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for, even if you have to find it alone.

[alignmyheart]

I wasn't looking for anything.

[Maybe that will just make things worse, but Vax deserves his honesty here. Percy worries this means he has lost (again) Vax'ildan's trust and affection. Likely no less than he deserves.]

[vaax]

well there’s clearly something i’m not doing correctly or i wouldn’t feel like this.

please just leave me alone until i can stomach being near you again.

[Well, that's a familiar sentiment. Percival managed it the last time, he will survive this time. And then, as now, he deserves the ire.]

Good night, Vax'ildan.

[He drops his hand from the earring. After a moment of consideration, he reaches up again to take it off and leaves it on his nightstand.]
