[ Don't laugh at her!

Pay no attention to her pouting at you, Vax, even if you can likely sense it across the artifical link built to weave together thoughts and emotions within the confines of the pilot's bridge.

But even beneath that is a far more eager feeling, that longing to fly, an ephemeral joy to counter the uncomfortable edges clouded by their stuck circumstance. Vax flips switches, presses buttons, and there's a delighted hiss from his sister as the vessel rocks, then begins to pull free, following whatever eddies buoy it in space.

There we go. Easy does it. Once we're clear of the docking ring..

[ She can still feel that laughter, but it is genuine joy, her own bubbling emotions expressed by her brother too. Some might say this shouldn't work, they are atfer all two bastard othlir.

Two heroes, champions of Vox Machina, and beloved, badass twins.

She glances over at her brother as the gravity decreases and the ship moves as they command. Yeah, they totally got this.
]

I'm ready. Keep your hands on the reins there, brother. [they cannot turn on the speed until they're far clear of the "moon" and its rings, and have to watch for fellow flyers out here in the darkest reaches of the sky. Shifting attention from sibling to the view screen, then to the control panel before her, Vex reaches and slides a single dial.] On my mark, we can unfurl this beauty's wings, and see what she can really do for us.

On 5...4...3..

[ After everything else they’ve done, everything else they’ve lived through that they shouldn’t have (and didn’t, in one case), it is only natural that they say as they’ve said to doubters, to the world, to fate itself before:

Fuck the impossible.

Go!
A word that sings in heart, echoed aloud by her brother, and the ship responds. Slipping from sluggish to streamlined, it sweeps forwards the open space before them, passing through the parted gate as though it’s humanoid burdens and metal body were as light as a feather. Before them, a sea of endless lights, the stars seemingly infinite, and for a moment Vex is transfixed.

Then, a slow, steady turn, as her hands press dials and draw back on the controls. Time to bank this baby and bring her around to face the planet. ]

[19th] Before the Gala!

[ Vex knocks on Vax's door.

Sure, she could just walk in to his room within the shared apartment Vox Machina have occupied since arriving in Wyver, but that runs the risk of seeing things she doesn't need to. Even if it's only a few hours until the party.

A small something wrapped in paper held in one hand, while the other fiddles with the cuff of her white dress-shirt. It's been at least a decade since the twins deliberately dressed so alike, but back home was far less indulgent than this world. Tonight: matching suits, dark as their hair and tailored to their forms, cutting a pair of very sharp figures. That shopping trip for this Gala had proven well worth the investment of silver that Vex allowed to slip free of her clutches, at least in her mind.

(..The heels are a little much, but Vex is very determined to get past the hobbling stage while in their accomodations.)

Brother? Are you decent?

Oh good. I was worried that the shirt might not lie well across your shoulders.

[Let it not be said that new friend Tary didn't have an eye for these things, even if she still wasn't sure what to make of the golden fop just quite yet. Now she has permission, Vex steps into the room with care, not quite tottering thanks to the height of her new shoes; she's getting the hand of it, honest. Particularly given the little twirl she does at his whistle.

There's a snort at his question.
]

No. [there is the faintest hint of Don't Even Start in the tilt of her brows and the lowering of her lashes] But I could use a hand with my hair, if you've one free when you're ready. I'm not entirely certain how up or down it should be with this. Will you need a hand with your tie?

Even with. [because she doesn't know this man, not as her family apparently does, as she apparently will do some day. He seems nice enough, sure, but... But.

She did already give some benefit of the doubt, or she would never have haggled to what (to Vex) was a much more reasonable price. As it is, 'Stubby' gets to look her twin brother in the eye and smirk at his discomfort from her doing so, before giving a grand 'ta da' bow]
They'll have to get in line, no doubt. And you too too, even with your lovely date on your arm.

[there's little extra prompting needed; across she goes and sits on the corner; at least this room isn't quite as narrow as the Olympian ones had been, so she can stretch out her legs before her and point her toes as she waits]

Isn't it weird, though? Winter's Crest was barely a few months ago, yet here it is again. [pause] At least, it was for me, anyway.

I'd be disappointed if she couldn't do that herself. Then again, that'd require her to notice. [she tips her head back to peer up at Vax, expression of amusement softening] She'll have you with her, after all.

[ Time line functionality (or the lack thereof) earn the shake of Vex's head. The situation is perpetually weird. But it does remind her of the second reason she knocked on Vax's door, so before he can get too settled in with sorting out her hair: ]

Oh. Here. Catch!

[a wrapped packet is flipped up into the air over her head. Catch it! Or, you know, don't, and let it hit her instead. Or just land on the bed. Your move, brother.]

I thought it was rather obvious what it was.

[Sure, it’s simple brown paper, but the cording about it is infrared and tied neatly, a throw back to their younger years when it was less practical to give gifts in fancy wrappings.]

I do think you’ll find Keyleth will the one worrying she’ll have someone steal you away. Though I hope I can get at least one dance with my brother. Anyway, open it, open it. Might even match your outfit for this evening.

[That is if his suit pairs well with something silvery, scaled and Very Familiar. As only repeats of WInters Crests gifts past are wont to be.]

Sometimes, when you ask nicely, the Orbiters are willing to cut a deal for a good cause. Or a holiday.

[ Is that smugness you hear? Well, maybe just a little. It had taken more than a wink, but she hadn't been denied, and Vex had wanted to do something special for her brother. After so much exhausting care during her convalescence, it was the least she could do.

After all, it's just a belt. But it's his snake belt.
]

They said it should work no differently here than from back home.

[ The grin makes the smugness brighter and warmer as he repeats her words almost verbatim, then fades completely as Vax wraps his arms around her.

They don't have a lot right now, but it's still more than they started with, and for once she gets to do something nice for her brother than he hadn't anticipated. Shifting a bit so she can rest her head on his shoulder while returning the hug, there's a definitely look of satisfaction on her face.
]

Well of course. That's what sisters are for, brother.

[ She leans into the hug, rocking very slightly from side to side. It's good to hear Vax happy, she'll always do what she can to make sure he's looked after. ]

[deadpan] I'm very good at haggling.

I have no objections to that. We do need to make a good impression, don't we?

[ Said, as she straightens up and turns her back to him once more. It'll be a good night out, she thinks. ]

Not immediately. Have a little faith, brother.

[ There's a mock-pout to follow, but since he's back to work on her hair, she doesn't turn back around to scold him for questioning her haggling ability. ] They're not entirely unreasonable. Unlike the Olympians and Wyver..ians? Wyvers?

So long as you and Keyleth stay out of trouble while I keep the spotlight on me, hmm?

[she's glad she's gotten over their attention; Keyleth is a beloved friend, and it's abundantly clear how happy they are together. Now they've gotten over their issues, anyway..]

Ugh, I know. I really should get Fenthras back, but.. [fingers drum on her knee] I've asked about Trinket. They've said they're looking into the magic involved but it's complex and may take some time.

[ Who would have thought a locket would cause such a headache, instead of being the boon it was back on Exandria? ]

Uh huh. [doubt.jpg] And why not? Are you saying I'm not worth suitors?

[a pause] Or at least, rich ones. Preferably handsome. [with white hair]
