here comes the HURT

There's an instinctual moment of pure reaction between swears and stubborn cursing---at the onset rain and the sand now also in her hair---when those arms wrap around her.

The way she's grabbed though, that tells her all. The hug from the back is all too familiar---like returning to your favorite well worn chair. The hands are familiar, and suddenly, Vex'ahlia is shaken from the inside outward.

She had no idea that bittersweetness could be so violent.

If Vax'ildan was here, then she surely was dead. She can't muster it in herself to admit she's happy to see him. She knows she is. But the overwhelming sorrow of leaving Percival, Vesper, and Vox Machina behind compounds. Where Vax'ildan now feels whole---on ignorance alone, Vex feels empty in an entirely different way.

Her hands rest on his and she wills herself to stay standing. She must. For the both of them. Between sniffles, she forces a laugh, bringing up one hand to her chest and kisses it. "My best friend---" she cry-laughs, holding that hand tightly. "I should be happy to see you."
