It had taken Vax a minute to hear what Vex had said, expression half stunned, brows half furrowed - to really take it in - and by then Kash had made his way there, with Percy in tow. What she was saying, it only made sense to him if she'd showed up at a different time from him, as Percy had done. Either Percy had been holding out on that little bit of information (it was Percy), or she'd come from even later.
It was the timing that he doubted, moreso than the idea of his dying itself. That wasn't difficult at all.
Vax'ildan took her gently by the shoulders, picking up her chin to make her look him in the eyes. "Right now," he reminded her softly, "I'm here, you're here - even those two," he nodded in the direction of the others without looking away. "And we're all alive." The figuring-out of all the rest could happen when she wasn't shaking like a fucking leaf under his hands.
Vax took the broom from Vex's hold carefully, and used his hand on her shoulder to steer her to a chair off to one side where she could sit and collect herself while Kash did his thing.
Re: locked to Percy, Vax, eventually Kash
