It feels...well, I guess it's not so different. Not now. But it feels different. Because.

[she makes grabby hands for the drink, but realizes, falters, frowns]

I...I always want you guys to be happy and work things out and live happily ever after, I guess. Because...I just do.

[alignmyheart]

Vex and I will be all right.

[Even as he says it, Percy doesn't know how sure he can be. But--but he wants to believe they will be. He knows that he will do whatever it takes to make things up to Vex, to remind her how deeply he loves her.

He finally relents and lets Keyleth have her drink.]

I've been an ass, I hurt her, and she's every right to be angry with me.

[passedthroughfire]

if you really love each other, none of that should matter.

[she takes a long drink. the alcohol is making her feel sad and nostalgic, not that she'd admit it's already hitting her. must be dust in her eyes.]

[alignmyheart]

Because we love each other, it does matter.

[Percy takes a drink from his glass, lingering for a moment.]

Denying her feelings is certainly not a way to move forward.

[passedthroughfire]

[she wavers]/

well, no. I guess you're right.

you're not an ass, Percy.

[alignmyheart]

Yes I am, [he says with a dry smile.] You know it almost better than anyone. But it's sweet of you to say otherwise.

[He leans closer to brush a platonic kiss to Keyleth's cheek.]

We give the people we love the power to hurt us, and we trust that they won't. I abused that trust, regardless of the reason or circumstances. So it's up to me to--I don't know. Try to make clear just what Vex'ahlia means to me.

[passedthroughfire]

well, I mean.

not in this circumstance, I guess.

I...I think you will. I think that you're thinking about it--that you want to--says a lot.

[gods, why is she crying???]

[alignmyheart]

You can't say that and then start crying.

[He's definitely an ass for teasing her. But he wraps an arm around Keyleth to pull her against him, offering her some support and affection as another wave hits her.]

Maybe it would be best if we sit somewhere.

[It doesn't take too much doing to steer them towards a couch.]

[passedthroughfire]

[she lets herself be led, trying and failing to stem the flow of tears]

I don't even know why I'm crying??
