[ especially now that we have seen the execution!!! wow!! sad!!!

vax gives them a little smile, though, and makes his way into the garden, rolling up the sleeves of his jacket. he looks tired, but, comparably better than percy was? the bar is low. ]


Just put me where you need me.

[ down to the turnips he will go! vax nods, dropping down cross legged to sit in a spot where he can get into the weeds, literally. shale is right - he's got a steady hand, as he gets right to work.

for a little bit, it's just companionable silence. this is fine, honestly. focus on the weed(s). ]

[ easy peasy! it really is very soothing. working with the ashari has always been rewarding; the work is steady and difficult and grounding, in ways that very little ever was in vax's life. it's the same, here.

...as shale offers a meal, he laughs a little, ducking his head. ]
...hospitality's second to none like always, Shale. You sure that wouldn't be a pain? I can go a little longer.

[ this therapy garden comes free with one therapy statue!! ]

....mm. Anything's good. Something hearty, maybe.

[ now that he has to eat again, it's kind of nice to eat all the hearty food he enjoyed before the whole revenant thing, so! he will get to it pruning said tomatoes, more or less existing in his own head this entire time. it's like two steps from brooding. we're doing great. ]

[ hewwo my notifs

anyway yes! brooding but there is food at the end. it is another ten minutes or so when he finishes, and when shale calls, vax hops up and brushes his hands off of dirt, then comes to join them, peering into the cottage! ]


... thanks for the meal, Shale. [ and the therapy gardening, too. ] 'ppreciate it.

[ i love this house.

it feels just... homey, in here.

it's hard to really explain it in any other way. the sort of bustling nature of it all does remind him of keyleth, in that it's a place that feels almost bursting with life. he doesn't snoop around, really, staying nearby to shale - knocking dirt from his boots at the doorway like a good boy - but can't help but look through.

it feels familiar in the way that bass's room definitely didn't, too. like home - maybe not his home, but like home, in a way he can't really put a finger on. vax's head tilts a bit to the side, examining the figures (the blue dragon, maybe especially, makes the corner of his mouth quirk up in that same sense of familiarity). old fashioned feels good. feels nice.

his gaze drops to a beetle that skitters past his feet, and then back up to shale when shale speaks. ]


...Looks fine to me. Sure you don't need any help...?

[ not that he's much of a cook but it's fine. sometimes you just want to be good and helpful to the nice statue that has been so very nice to you!!!

but, if shale says no, he will go sit down, scooching out one of the little chairs and just settling down. there's so much to look at in here - it feels like you could spend a week here and never see it all. ]


Well, with the food, or with weeding your house, too. [ a little teasing laugh there as he props his chin in his hand to watch. ]
