vax'ildan is immediately a few degrees warmer as the others accompany him, a comfortable kiss with molly helping him secure his place in this bed. he had been a little uncertain about exactly where he fit in in a bed full of fjord's lovers, but the way molly kisses him, the affection and acceptance from aphrodite, it couldn't be clearer that he belongs here, between lovers in common.

once he's dressed in his lingerie, matching molly and aphrodite, vax'ildan feels... wonderful. a confidence he's never quite felt before emboldens him to reach over molly's shoulder once they break from their kiss, moving to kiss aphrodite with just as much passion. as he kisses her, his hands wander down molly's body, just as the announcement of fjord's return echoes through the house.

he parts from aphrodite to hesitate, but then remembers that their entire purpose here is to surprise fjord, to show him that when fjord's away, his lovers will play. so he gives aphrodite a smile, then closes the gap to kiss her a second time.
