❝  katie, don’t  —  ❞       he rubs his hand down his face, a sigh heaving shoulders that are somewhat slumped forward, elbow propping him up at the kitchen island.         ❝  i’m not someone you want to have a lot in common with.  ❞        

sure he’s done great things.  sure there’s good things about him.  but he doesn’t want to see her share more than those with him.   and sometimes, like right now, he can’t see the good outweighing the bad.  not necessarily on the moral scale of things, but just.        ❝  there’s a lot about me i wouldn’t want to see you burdened with.  ❞

if   syldor   hadn’t   already   disowned   vax,   he   surely   would   have   if   he   saw   him   now.         vax   never   plans   on   this   sort   of   career,   inking   up   people’s   bodies   for   a   living,   but   it’s   better   than   a   lot   of   the   routes   he   takes   before   he   settles   on   this   one.      and   it’s   something   that   brings   in   a   fair   bit   of   cash   while   vex   is   going   through   school      —      helps   with   the   rent   and   occasionally,   when   they’ve   got   money   to   spare,   with   vex’s   student   loans.      he’s   not   the   most   artistic   one   here,   but   he’s   the   cheapest,   so   he   gets   a   lot   of   regulars   .   .   .      but   @nothawkgrl​​   isn’t   one   of   them.            “      i’m   vax,      ”            he   introduces   himself   with   a   welcoming   smirk,   tugging   his   wayward   hair   back   as   they   sit   at   his   station.            “      what’re   we   doing   today,   kate?      ”

    *    @nothawkgrl​​    —    SENDER  CAREFULLY  APPROACHES  RECEIVER  IN  THE  AFTERMATH,  GENTLY  TOUCHING  THEM  TO  TRY  AND  BRING  THEM  BACK  TO  THEMSELVES    (   kaite  &  vax’ildan   ) 

BLOOD   RUSHES   IN   VAX’S   EARS,   PUMPING   IN   HIS   VEINS.         in   a   fight,   he   is   quick   as   shadows   themselves      —      here   one   minute,   gone   the   next      —      with   deadly   daggers   in   hand   and   flying.      it   takes   a   moment   to   slow   down   once   it’s   all   over.      it   always   does.   

kaite’s   hand   startles   him   at   first,   but   it   ends   up   helping   him   slow   his   breathing   a   bit.      he   wipes   at   his   forehead,   bringing   away   blood   from   a   cut   through   his   eyebrow,   and   smearing   blood   from   his   opponents   further   across   his   skin.      oh,   well.      he   rarely   comes   out   of   a   fight   clean      —      not   with   how   close   he   gets   to   the   action.   

“      i’m   alright,      ”            he   tells   her,   reaching   to   squeeze   her   hand   upon   his   shoulder   briefly   before   letting   go   and   waving   her   off.            “      got   through   it,   didn’t   we?      that’s   all   that   matters.      ”   

getting   through   close   call   after   close   call   is   exhausting   .   .   .      but   it’s   better   than   not   getting   through   it   at   all.      he’s   got   to   make   it   back   to   his   sister.      that’s   the   most   important   thing   in   the   world.      so   what   if   he’s   a   little   bloody   at   the   end   of   the   day?
