Why not, right? Then you two can support each other - maybe confirm some things, too.
[ something both emotional and practical - maybe something both riff and bass would need. ]
... I told Percy a lot of stuff, right before he - well. You know. [ almost got executed. he doesn't linger on that long. ] He thought he was dead, and I was able to tell him otherwise. We've... 's been goo, to have him here, whether we get along all the time or not. Hard shit and all.
Two of you've got each other. You should lean into it.
...as good a time as any. And I think he needed to hear it. That's a little different. I'm...glad you were able to tell him otherwise. I think even when you fight with your friends it's always better to have them around.
[ vax gives him a little bit of an unimpressed look when he changes the subject because this isn't ABOUT HIM and his dissassociatively murderous brother in law this is about these two teens but there's no heat to it.
and when he acquiesces, he ruffles his hair. ]
Good. Just don't think about it too long, yeah? Told Bass that once, too. People like you and Percival need people like me and him around.
[ aka people who don't linger on decisions and just fckin yolo into things directly. ]
[ he has absolutely not managed to skate away from that. that's what i THOUGHT you'd do you dumb fucking riff ]
Think you're gonna need to hear whatever it is Bass remembers, too. Think it'd be good for you both.
[ but, he will acquiesce a little, reaching out to bat at rindo's cheek like he's gonna pinch it. ] 's how I feel watching you two! Peas in a fucking pod. Percy and I've got our own weird shit going on that we had to figure out, and we've figured it out, mostly. 's your turn now.
Yeah. I know, I know. [this is said in the same tone teenagers use when they don't want to admit their parents are right but they also know there's no other option. he bats at vax's hand before he can pinch him.]
...if this makes things worse, can I blame you? [it's...it's a joke, but also screams softly.]

but...there's a huff.]
Yeah, I know, I know. Seeing the two of you together really made a lot of sense.
[which two? percy and vax? or vax and bass during curfew? he does not clarify.]

[ that's a joke in return, and he gives him a little nudge, instead of a cheek pinch. ]
I've got your back, kid. No matter how it goes.

...thanks, Vax. [at least this helped.] I'll...think about what to do next and do it soon.
