WHO? three disasters.
WHAT? vex and percy impart spoilers about campaign 1 of critical role.
WHEN? outside of time and space, etc. during spider-training sessions.
ANYTHING ELSE?

[ There aren't all that many places to hide aboard BASE, but Vax manages. He likes to think he could manage until they're shuttled off to entertain spiders, but it's inevitable that Vax gives in before they head off to do something dangerous. It's the way of things between them. Vax stalks away, but he always comes back. No matter what's happened between him and Vex, he always comes back to her to try to set it right.

And it's hardly her fault this time. It's no one's fault. (Which means Vax is going to treat it like it's his own fault.) He doesn't remember a large chunk of time and all the terrible things that had passed within it. Vex hadn't done that to him. The separation that causes is difficult enough without Vax creating physical distance between them, or so he tells himself.

He's still telling himself that as he scrapes the glitter off his skin and then makes his way to her room. He'll apologize. He'll do a better job of apologizing than he'd done when she'd been explaining all of what he'd lost in the first place. But when she opens the doorway for him, Vax's footsteps stutter when he realizes Percy's there. Vax immediately stiffens. ]

I can come back.

[ It's nothing against Percy, but if Vax had realized he was here with Vex, he'd have waited until Percy had gone. He wasn't used to having an audience when he and Vex hashed things out. Vax had a hard enough time with just her, nevermind having Percy there to watch him try to navigate the situation. He takes an immediate step backwards, angling to beat a hasty retreat. ]
