[ stuff...? she still looks a bit confused but, she focuses on the mention of song and smiles a little. ]

I.. like to think mine is, a song of hope. A.. gentle reminder, to keep holding on to it. [ there's still evidence of anxiety, worry in her, but she manages to keep that small smile for him. ]

Mm... I like to see you happy, Vax.

[ weh. he reaches a hand up to gently knuckle it against her lil cheek. ]

Should be me saying that about you, huh?

[ wehhh. she leans against that hand, a wing at the side of her head curling around it too. ]

I'll be okay.. one step at a time, right..?

[daggering]

One step at a time.

[ that's a good way to think about it. one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

he thumbs her cheek, gently. ]

[ her hand cups over his, smiling a bit more. ]

Let's stay strong.. for tomorrow, okay? Whatever happens, we'll figure it out on Saturday, together. [ it still aches, to think that Bass will likely be in pain once her gumball wears off but... she'll do her best to comfort Vax here and now. a reminder that it'll be hard as it always is but- they have each other to rely on. ]

[ this better not be a death flag

the gentle cheek thumb turns into a pinch. very, very gently. ]

Yeah, we sure fucking will. And then we'll look after all these people that got hurt, since they can't stay out of trouble! [ which includes you ma'am ]
