Vax hadn't asked. He hadn't asked because he hadn't wanted to know. If something had happened to Vex, and he hadn't been there, like last time, to watch out for her -
He'd punched Percy after that, and so help him, if Percy had tried to tell him something mortal had happened to her now, when it would be worse than useless, he'd have had to wrestle with the urge now.
Whatever he'd been about to go do, Vax let it go. It was too late not to look wounded, too late not to think about his sister and the rest facing that green dragon bitch, falling maybe. He let his knees give out, so he sank down onto the huge bed next to Percy, sitting on the edge of it. "...Don't you try to tell me any different than that," he warned softly, voice low. He didn't try to take his arm back.
