Snowfall shimmers onto Vax's shoulders, dusting his hair and clothes and swirling around him. Above where the halfelf is sat in the garden, Fjord holds the Star Razor aloft and is making it snow for him. Whenever he's noticed, he says,

"To match that frosty look on your face."

Sulky boy!

[vaax]

what.

fjord, what.

vax looks up at fjord, dangling the sword over him, dusting him with a light frost that melts the moment it meets his skin, so. really all he's doing is getting him wet.

as much as vax wants to be annoyed at him, he can't stop the smile that spreads on his face, and he shakes his head before moving to make space for fjord.

"hey. is it that obvious?"

[halforc]

"Only from like, every angle of the garden." Sad birb. "Ugh, I need to lie down. Here, take this, be the Paladin for a while."

He sprawls on his back next to Vax, laying the sword in the sad sod's lap as a distraction from his woes under the pretence of needing to rub his belly paunch.

"I ate a whole pig, I'm going to die. Right here, this is it! Oh, delicious pork, you've betrayed me ..."

[vaax]

fjord drops the star razor into vax's lap, and immediately, vax'ildan's focus is drawn to it. this isn't an ordinary sword, or even a simple magical sword. the runes seem familiar to him, and the way it focuses fjord's abilities... even vax seems to have a connection with it. he could probably wield it, if given enough time...

"is this a vestige?" he asks, talking over fjord's lamenting about his food baby.

[halforc]

"Is it a what-ige?"

Patting his food-son, he rolls his head to see Vax's attention zoned in on the sword. Success. Sadness begone!

"I don't know. How can you tell?"

[vaax]

"i don't know," he admits, turning his eyes back to fjord's sword, running fingers over the runes. he can feel it in his hand, like it's... wow.

"it just... told me. vestiges are artifacts from the calamity. they're either crafted by the prime deities or by their followers. they lie dormant if they haven't been used in a while, but can grow with time. my cloak is a vestige." he smirks before laying the star razor next to fjord, then moves to lay back on the grass next to him.

"you should keep it, though. i'm a paladin of a different goddess, and i don't want her to be annoyed at me for playing with another goddess's toy."

[halforc]

"Oh. It's super old and was made by acolytes of the Moonweaver and Wildmother, it would be pretty cool if it was a vestige. Snazzy, like your cloak."

He sits up to touch the sword and mutters Galas'var, lighting up the runes and casting a blue glow for twenty feet in every direction. His fancy glowstick is dug into the ground so it can continue to illuminate the garden like the overpriced fairylight it is, and he lies back down next to Vax, hands folded on his middle.

"I've been playing with a whole other goddess," with a significant look at wherever Aphrodite is, "so I think if I'm okay, you are."

[vaax]

vax'ildan respects the way fjord handles his vestige. to vax, these things can be nothing but an unwanted bind, and while they might demand respect, it doesn't mean vax (or anyone) has to give it. so good for you, fjord! you do whatever you want with that vestige.

"looks good on you," he comments, smiling. he nudges fjord's shoulder with his own, "it's a vestige if i've ever seen one. snazzy is a good word for it."

vax's eyes follow fjord's to aphrodite, who is naturally charming whoever she's talking to. vax has sudden memories of their own love hotel experience, and he swallows thickly before he turns his head up to the half orc. time to come clean.

"you remember when we were married?"

[halforc]

A vestige. It sounds cool, even if he only has the barest idea of what it means. With his shoulder nudged, he looks over and smiles; the memory is a warm one. The first time he lost control and was safely guided through the more confusing parts of himself.

"How could I forget?"

[vaax]

vax smiles all the same, warm and comfortable with fjord by his side. though he's nervous about confessing to what he and aphrodite shared, the comfort that fjord brings is almost enough to balance it out.

almost.

"ah... i... shared the same dream with her. with aphrodite. i feel as though i should tell you, since the two of you are so close."

[halforc]

"Oh?" His brows rise and he glances over to Aphrodite, voicing his immediate thoughts. "Lucky you."

Aphrodite means a great deal to him and Vax is starting to as well, he trusts the latter with the former. As though working on a complicated math problem, he frowns.

"I had that dream with her too, does that mean ... we're all married?"

His head hurts.
