If money has no meaning here, then what do people do with themselves? Adventure for the sport of it? Build things only to watch them gather dust?

I prefer problems that bite back or explode in my hands, but it seems difficult to call that work in a place where every need is already seen to.

So. What passes for an occupation here—when merit and coin are both irrelevant?

Hah! I’m flattered, though I must admit I’m hard pressed to find anyone terrifying after hearing such nice things about them.

And the three of you have found each other, yes? Vax was very concerned that he wouldn’t see her again after SanFran.

That is the trick of it. I praise her because every word is true, and still the truth does not blunt her edge. Vex can be as charming as she pleases, but she is no less formidable for it. Ask anyone who has stood on the wrong side of her bow.

And yes, we have found each other. Vax was not wrong to worry, but his fears were misplaced. The bond between them is unshakable, and I have no intention of ever standing in the way of it. As for me, I am fortunate beyond words that Vex chose to share her life with me, and I endure more than a bit of scowling from her brother as the natural consequence. It is, I admit, largely deserved.

You know, I am getting the distinct impression that despite all this matrimonial bliss, you and Vax aren’t terribly fond of each other.

Well, that would be because they're both idiots. Percy sometimes doesn't think before he opens his handsome mouth and my brother is impulsive and it leads to him being in danger that we could all very well handle differently if he only stopped for a moment.

Otherwise, I'd say they're both overly protective of me and adorable. It's both a blessing and a curse, if I'm honest.

You’re very lucky to have such an effusive pair of devotees, then. And lucky, too, to be reunited, especially in a place with so few opportunities to be reckless in battle.

I'm aware of how lucky I am. But, again, they are idiots. That is why I choose my bear. Trinket is not an idiot.

However, I love them all very much and would do anything to keep them safe. And despite Percy's lackluster show of effusion at seeing Vax, I know he's happy to see him as well.

Just one away for a full point augh.

You see what I deal with? "Idiot" is considered a term of endearment. It is a strange life, but as I said... I am lucky to have it.
