jiuqing smiles at feeling that affection.
is good for you an emotion? because she's feeling it right now.]
That sounds like something he'd do, yes! ...but it also sort of sounds like you're speaking from experience?
no subject
[ playful!! he winks.
whew. he was not expecting this conversation today, either! sometimes you vibe over both being ready to knife somebody for percy.
anyway it's not clear whether he's going to give an actual answer to this good for you emotion so jiuqing will have to decide if he's just being a terrible little gremlin or actually serious. who's to say! ]
no subject
[jiuqing did not mean that as an innuendo but i did and then i immediately got embarrassed about it. anyway.
some of her amusement fades - it doesn't vanish entirely, just becomes an undercurrent to the gratefulness that bubbles up in her, instead.]
...thank you, Vax. For asking me about what you thought I did directly.
no subject
anyway he's equally amused by this, though as jiuqing continues, he pauses - and then nods , ducking his head a little bit. ]
Course. I didn't want to beat around it. [ especially considering how suspicious emet was.... and that they had the same protect percy brain. ] I respect you more than that, doc.
no subject
I appreciate that.
[a beat.]
I was going to ask you, too, but you sort of beat me to it...
[and his question had made it pretty clear he hadn't - why would he have asked her if she had, if he'd been the one to kill him? he would have already known the answer.]
no subject
vax's eyes crinkle at the corner when he laughs, a quiet noise. he's tired, and this has been a lot, but... it's just nice to know he and jiuqing are still on the same wavelength. ]
Wouldn't have had to be refracted, if it was me. If this place would've let me tell you, I would've told you straight up.
no subject
[jiuqing PLEASE.]
...but if it wasn't either one of us, then it probably was someone who was refracting. So... that's something we're going to have to take care of as well.
no subject
actually.
he frowns. ]
.... Fighting and giving injuries, huh.
[ now wait just a damn minute ]
no subject
[
oh.
jiuqing pulls out her phone and texts something to someone.]
Did you just think of the same thing I did, Vax?
no subject
looks into the camera like this is the office ]
The fucking blood was a pair of pants.
no subject
[heading for the door!]
no subject
[ before she can get away, she'll feel a ripple of concern. vax's expression is very honest - worry, and care. ]
...Be careful, alright?
no subject
I will be. Thank you.
[and she's out!]
