[they are still...very uncertain about remembering things, or talking about the things they remember, like it's not going to help anyone and it's something to think through themselves. wary, maybe. with a touch of loneliness and general anxiety, maybe, but this is vax. so maybe it's okay?

Haha. Yeah, sometimes. I don't mind regular coffee with milk in it, or strawberry flavors or chocolate but nothing too sweet or too crazy. It takes away from what it's meant to taste like.
[ talk about your fucking feelings with vax he is here to be your emotional support bird you fool. anyway if he feels any of that uncertainty, for now he doesn't say anything about it, just taking the easy route of remembering coffee drinks instead of places, instead of people.
