[backdated March 4] Sup Ya'll? (Closed to Vox Machina & Co)

[st_illsinging]

The day after talking to Pike, Scanlan decided it was probably time to actually talk to everyone else. He had mixed feelings considering he knew a whole bunch more than literally everyone else. And also some of them were going to be pissed at him. Again.

Several days of rest had done the Gnome good and he moved to sit down in the lobby. A public place was probably good in case there was a huge fight, right? Settling down on one of the couches, Scanlan spoke into his earring.

Hey, so, you all probably heard I'm here already, but here's my official hello and I'm in the lobby if you want to say hi.

Then he picked up his lute and started playing a little, but he was mostly tuning and fixing - it was as if being in a big battle against a god could damage your instruments or something.

"Are you asking me for advice about how to talk to a woman? You, Scanlan Shorthalt?" Vax found himself grinning unexpectedly. "Oh now I know we're on a different word for real."

He smiled. "I didn't ask on how to talk to a woman, I'm asking about your woman. Mostly if there's anything I should avoid talking about so I don't get punched in the face." Steph seemed like the type to punch when unhappy. She was feisty.

Vax was amused to find that he wasn't really so concerned for either of them. Steph knew how to put someone in their place if she wanted, not that she often would. Scanlan was sometimes a bit much for the uninitiated, sure, but Steph had a blessedly good sense of humor for the most part. It was one of the things he adored about her.

"Maybe don't dive into the subject of Kiki first thing. Otherwise, you just go on being your usual charming self."

"Don't talk about you other girlfriend." His expression that he gave Vax as he said it seemed to say 'no shit', "I'll try to remember that." Then playfulness peaked into his eyes.

"You just asked!" Vax couldn't help but smile into the words, and it was just like things had been all over again.

Nothing here was like it had been in Tal'Dorei but what they brought with them. But if they could have their friendships back, their family back together again... He wasn't sure how much else they needed.
