It’d been a while now that Vex had made the city of Whitestone her new home. While
she had a home being built on her land, leaving plenty of room for the Raven Queen’s
Temple on her property, she had been staying within the castle walls. Of course, she
didn’t quite mind. It left her closer to Percival and that made her feel safe, knowing
that they were both together.
However, Vex had been watching Percy working alongside of Cassandra lately. The
stress of his days were getting to him and she could see how it was effecting him. It
started first with the shaking in his hands, then it was the fact that he’d let his facial
hair slowly grow to the mess it had become on his face. Vex would say nothing about
it though, Percy had enough on his plate.
So when she saw him struggling a bit shaving she decided to speak with her actions
instead. She pulled herself from the bed, buttoning one of Percy’s shirts onto her body
as she walked over to him. She pressed a kiss to the top of his head as she gently
took the blade from his hands.
“Let me help you darling.”
Instead of staying behind him she took a few steps around him so that she was face to
face with him. She waited for a moment to assess if Percy would be okay with this
before beginning.
