keyleth was an enigma that vaxโildan would never understand, but would always chase to try and attempt to understand. he was a romantic, at heart, and a damn shitty one at times. pacing was never his strong suit. had he maybe pushed it a bit too far ?ย too soonย ? he promised to wait. why did he do that?ย
vax turns, not expecting keyleth in the slightest, but heโs glad to see her face. his hazel eyes scan, as if to quickly count to see if thereโs one more freckle adorning her nose today than there was yesterday. ( something that never changes, but itโs one of his favorite features.) as he allows the flower in his hand, he laughs. itโs soft, and awkward. did they always have to be awkward around each other? couldnโt it be back to normal? what was even normal, vaxโildan would challenge himself to ask, and with vox machina, nothing was ever normal. ever.ย
ย ย ย ย ย โ can i ask why ?ย โ he asks, moving to put it in his hair, almost mocking the flowers that were adorned in her circlet.ย โ i mean, iโm certainly not you kiki, but this might need to be a new fashion statement. i might be onto something here,โ he teases. he can already hear his twin in his head bickering that sheโsย the twin with the hair accessories.
ย -ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ( iโm certainly not you, kiki. )
simple words make the druidโs cheeks heat up immediately, even if it wasnโt so much as a direct compliment when it came to vax, she knew that it was.ย โ i think snowdrops suit you quite nicely,ย โ delicate fingers come up to adjust the snowdrop in his hair before embarrassment quickly floods through the gates of her body and her hand immediately coils back to her side.ย
clearing her throat, she shakes her head.ย โ ah, well. see. i simply... have come to realize that things havenโt been quite the same since you told me what you told me.ย โย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ( how does one wear the big girl pants so easily? sheโd simply have toย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ask vex about this )
ย ย โ i donโt want you to think that your....ย โ keyleth trails off momentarily, green eyes adverting to catch anything but his eyes.ย โ i donโt want you to think that your feelings arenโt reciprocated, vax -- because they are .โ she sighs fingertips rubbing at her temple for a moment.ย โ i donโt know about loveย quite yet, but i do like you.ย โย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ( how can someone who has never been in love know what beingย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย in love is like? you canโt. thatโs the thing. )
โ i apologize if my words showed otherwise.ย โ
