keyleth.

Keyleth moved to try and put the vegetative waste in a better spot cheeks flushed as she offered a nod. “It shouldn’t take me too long.” He had her smiling with his comment. She did her best to wash her hands and making sure she didn’t have any stray dirt on her face, wondering if maybe she should do more or if she was overthinking things again.

waiting, truth be told, has never been vax’s strong suit to begin with--has him hesitating on the threshold for a moment before ducking in, itchy-fingered. ( odd how coming home nearly always makes him want to get on the road again, but they’re here now, and he supposes he can’t really argue with the promise of a bed to sleep on. )

still--he waits, restively, flitting from one place to the next, and only makes himself sit still at a dining table in the end by flicking a spare dagger from one hand to the other and back again.

[deathwalkers]

pike.

Pike knew that Gilmore cared more about their group then he let on. He would likely never get that angry with them unless something drastic had truly happened. “I was hoping to restock our supply of healing potions, and maybe find something a little better than your standard healing kit.”

breezily, ‘ that can certainly be arranged. ’ a ledger thumps heavily onto the countertop, and gilmore flicks through a few pages before tracing a finger down the left hand column, glancing up. lightly, ‘ something a little better meaning - ? ’

[thymocosm]

folks have probably already gathered this by now, but writing/rping is taking a hard back seat for the foreseeable. not saying i’ll be doing no writing, but it’s definitely not a priority.

take care of yourselves and each other. amplify black voices. donate if you can, share if you can’t. share anyway.

be safe.

[deathwalkers]

keyleth.

“Yeah… that sounds nice.” She spoke as she felt the need to tuck a stray bit of hair behind her ear but then her hands were still holding the weeds she had been pulling. Right she was a mess… 

“I’ll need a moment to get cleaned up.”

‘ -- ‘course. ’ not that vax would care -- as far as he’s concerned keyleth could come down in a cloth sack, face and hands covered in dirt, and it would make no difference to him -- but if it matters to her, then ...

‘ i’ll be inside. ’ a wry smile. ‘ you know me. being a nuisance in the kitchen. stealing bread rolls. ’

[deathwalkers]

pike.

“For today yes.” Pike wore the warmer smile as she saw him. It was strange to see him at the front of the store like this but he was a welcome surprise. “Just thought I’d come in and get some supplies” They always seemed to go through them so quickly

‘ you’ve been getting into trouble again, i see. ’ for just a heartbeat, gilmore mocks disapproval - dark eyes shading darker - but he brightens not long after, straightening up briskly. the lot of them coming back in more-or-less one piece to stock up is a good sign, after all, and who is he to turn away some honest business? ‘ what can i get you? ’

[proelio-procusi-ar]

@deathwalkers liked for a starter

Pike was glad to be in town again, and as such she knew she wanted to look at getting more supplies. The best place of course was Gilmore’s. That’s why the cleric had moved through the city to his shop entering with a smile. She wasn’t sure if Gilmore was in but if he was she would in fact say hello.

[deathwalkers]

a rare enough thing, for sherry to be otherwise occupied, and rarer still, perhaps, for shaun to be in front of house when someone enters--but on this day, he is, and, catching sight of a familiar scattering of white-blonde, a warm smile catches and spreads, leaning partway over the counter. ‘ miss trickfoot. ’ glancing around, making a show of half-expecting to see the others, ‘ all on your own today? ’

favourite vox machina moments: episode 33 “Reunions”

[deathwalkers]

keyleth.

Keyleth heard him looking up, hands still holding some of the vegetative waste is her hands not sure what to do just yet. She probably looked like a mess, hands covered in dirt, and likely smudged somewhere on her face, hair tousled and now slightly red in the face. She needed to answer the question but it was a matter of if she wanted to be honest or put him at ease.

“I… I think so, or at least I will be.”

vax’s brow knits. he shifts, one foot to the other and back again - he’s not, he thinks, the right person for this, but he wants to be. chews the side of his tongue until the muscle itches, then continues, ‘ i was going to get some food together. come with? ’

[proelio-procusi-ar]

@deathwalkers​ liked for a starter

Keyleth had been tending the garden trying to let her mind settle. The whole group had finally made it back to Grayskull keep which meant a chance to catch their breath. Processing what they had been doing always took her time and she might as well do something productive with her time. She had been so focused on the pruning and weeding she hadn’t noticed she wasn’t alone anymore, though to be fair Vax often moved in a way that other didn’t notice him.

[deathwalkers]

more than anything, it’s so much a habit, by now, to move in near-silence, that vax clean forgets not to--but he halts at the threshold, fingers itchy but thoughts, for once, curiously still, eyes drifting the column of her spine.

inhale. say something, idiot.

‘ kiki. ’ not loud, not sharp, just - present. ‘ you all right? ’

“I made the earth remember him”

pumat.

“are you keeping okay? out there?” pumat might be busy, but - “i’m not the one who’s on the regular walking into trouble. bad, good, righteous, but trouble all the same.”

‘ ah, you know. ’ thinner, paler, worn around the edges and it’s all so much bigger than them--but it always has been, and maybe he was always supposed to end up here or maybe he wasn’t, but there’s nothing frightening in the dirt he's already met. ( but: he worries, ways he never did before. gnaws at his weakness. these people he’s been thrown together with for what? to falter and die before he can understand what she’s asking of him, or outlive them? ) ‘ we do all right. ’

[deathwalkers]

pluresque:

what a beautiful creature he is, her champion. 

in his tiny mortality, his uncertainty; a reminder of what was, standing and seeking before her. she would keep him with her at all times, if she could; steal him away to her realm and hold him close to her. but that his not his place, and it would serve to change him. her hands are gentle upon his face, when she takes it in a soft grasp. 

she has been alone for so very long. her champion is a light in the darkness. 

maskless, her expression does not shift much; softens, perhaps, at the melancholy downturn of her mouth. what more could she need? she has his faith, his wants and needs laid out before her; it is more potent a thing than any memory she has collected, visceral and heady between them. 

it is also for me.  such vastness separates them, goddess and faithful, and yet there is so little distance to show it. he is beautiful; past the material world, past his bones and blood. the thread of his fate shines so brightly.  you offer more than you know.

still, he waits for the gentleness to sting, to turn to something hard and knifing--cool on flushed skin yet it never does, and some part of him wonders if that mightn’t be worse. if it would be easier to rend and tear--it aches the more for the wanting yet unyielding kindness in it, and something behind his eyes prickles unworthily, yet he doesn’t duck her gaze.

that would be unworthy, he thinks, or knows in some gut-deep way, and her words reverberate down the bird bones of his spine and make no sense at the bottom, but who is he to argue?

( once, but not anymore, not now--take me instead, you raven bitch--so far-flown from his tongue he almost feels they were someone else’s words, and a swallow bunches in his throat. )

‘ i, ’ vax inhales in the empty space, still and letting himself be held fast, ‘ i’m afraid i don’t know what to say to that. ’
