    Summary

    “I don’t care what he says,” Vax mutters to her, later that night. His arm brushes hers, jostling as he tugs aggressively at the blanket. “We don’t have to change anything we don’t want to.”

    Vex nods in agreement. She likes their accent, and the idea of changing it is ridiculous. Surely Syldor will come to see that.

    Then she remembers the tailor’s shop. The burning humiliation.

    She doesn’t want to feel that way again.

    -

    An exploration of voices and Vex, ranging from the before, the after, and the in-between. Or, this is what happens when a “brief” character study decides to pull a Vax and go rogue.

    Summary

    Vex has had it rough, to put it mildly.

    She's trying to make a fresh start after finally breaking away from Saundor. She has a new job, she's living with her brother and his new boyfriend, she's trying her best to be a good mother to her son, no matter who his father was.

    But it's not until she walks into de Rolo's Toyshop that she really feels her life start again.

    Summary

    "Percy smiles, tired. 'Indeed.' It’s the work of a moment to cross the room and retrieve his daughter, holding her up to meet his eyes. 'I thought we put you to bed, madame,' he says sternly.

    "Vesper stares up at him. Vex jokes that she inherited her father’s stern countenance, and he has to admit, there is some truth to the idea. She definitely inherited the De Rolo eyebrows, which doesn’t help. She babbles for a moment, expression intent.

    "Percival nods with equal severity. 'I see,' he says, utterly solemn. 'I shall make a note.'"

    The De Rolos settle in after a long night, and have some conversations about the future.
