[ Vax.

Pain erupts from her arm, white hot, sharp, dragging forth a cry from her lips. Broken, bloody, she reaches despite it, for the brother that lays motionless just out of reach. If she can, if she can just touch him, maybe, maybe. But it's too late, some part of Vex knows it, but she can't accept it. Tries to reach despite her broken arm, despite the blood pooling from head, the slickness of her hands, and the deep, oozing gash to the side. Hope remains, a tiny sliver, and defeat weighing heavy on her shoulders with the roaring cheer of the crowd.

But Vax isn't moving, he isn't moving─ ]

Vax!

[ He's to far, she can't reach him, no matter how hard she tries to dig at the dirt with the only hand left to her, she can't reach him. The crowd's roar gets louder and panic starts to claw at her throat, fingers digging into the dirt as she cries out for her brother again. Vax. Vax! Please, we have to move. Get up! Pain shoots through Vex's body again, trying to reach, vision starting to blur as the crowd roars louder and louder until...

The generals leap on him, all claws and teeth and hunger. Vex screams, eyes wide, bloody hand out stretched. She watches them tear into clothes and flesh, blood spraying across the dirt, across the generals. The smell of death floods of her nose, causing bile to rise in her throat, hot tears sting her eyes, as she reaches out for him, mindlessly clawing at the dirt stained red. It's over, it's over. All she has left is horror and misery, burning the sight of her brother being consumed into memory, before finally, finally, they come for her as well.

Percy... I'm sor─

The waking is familiar and not at the same time. Surprise comes first, followed quickly by panic and the seizing of her lungs. Instinct is quick to kick in, body moving of it's own accord to free her from the tube she woke up in. Pushing through, determined, until she tumbles out onto the floor, slick with the strange liquid. There is no time to think, however, before Vex doubles over, vomiting out something viscous and black. It takes a few more minutes of coughing up more of that liquid before she moves, absently grabbing something to cover herself up with before she starts to search.

Vax. It's all she cares about. She has to find her brother, has to make sure he is okay, that he is alive─

How are they alive, anyway? It's not magic, Vex knows how it feels to be revived by a divine magic. But if not that, how? How is she walking, breathing, searching for her brother when she saw him... ]

Brother!

[ A glimpse of familiar hair, pointed ears is all she needs to recognize him. Vex stumbles towards the pod, towards Vax, arms thrown around his neck as tears start to sting her eyes once more. Gods, he's live, thank the gods he's alive. ]

When we were children.

[ She reminds him, eyes clamped tightly shut. There is something comforting in the familiarity of this, a distraction from the weigh on her shoulders, the reality of having tasted death again. The sound of his laughter, as he pinches her arm, hand swift to bat at him if she would to shoo him away.

Vex doesn't want that, of course, parting still worries her and she can't help but following his footsteps with her senses as he walks away. If she loses him again... arms across underneath her chest, fingers digging into the flesh of her arms. Breathe, listen, breathe. Listen for threats, for Vax, for any─ ]

Ow. [ Immediately Vex opens her eyes, scowling a little. ] Come on, then. Lets find somewhere to sit that isn't here.

[ It's always satisfying to slip Vex's grasp. Vax is shadow made flesh. He gets harder to catch every passing day.

But that hadn't been enough in the ring. Thinking of it twists something in his chest painfully. He tweaks Vex's hair again before hooking his arm through hers. Staying in the moment is more difficult than he expected. Flashes of their defeat flicker in his head. It takes effort to keep them at bay. ]

My room. We can rest there, and figure out the rest after.

[ Aka: get yelled at by Percy when they aren't fighting the urge to vomit and consumed by aches and pains. ]

[ It's too much to think on now. She tries to keep herself grounded here, scowling at Vax's antics but it isn't nearly as easy as just that. Memories flash across her vision, the taste of blood in her mouth. Vax's arm hooks through hers and she leans against him, curling fingers around the arm of his robe. ]

Sounds good, I'm exhausted.

[ Later they can deal with everything else, after they've slept for a week. ]
