as always thinking about vex and vax and the dawnfather and the matron. episode one of downfall and emhira reminding the aydin that he can’t save everyone and aydin reminding emhira that they can always try. vex’s last breath begging her husband to save vax. vex coming back and when faced with vax again, insisting that everything can be fine, turning to keyleth and saying We Can Pretend. i’m just chewing on them man. always chewing on them. vex who plays the hardass but with so much relentless and occasionally naive hope in her chest, just like aydin had once. and vax who is a loving prankster turned champion to a god who took time in her godsaving mission to steal an imp from a guard, who is distant and grounded in reality but no less loving for it. god . god . get me out of here
