[ Vax might have a place to rest his head at night, but he doesn't actually spend a lot of time at the apartments. Having been in Etraya for a year, one would think he would have found a more comfortable place to call home, but this place is not and never will be his home. In short, he hasn't bothered to try.

Instead, he likes to be out as much as possible. Exploring different areas. Learning the ins and outs of the world and getting a lay of the land. When he's not traveling, he likes quiet spots away from it all. Anything that remotely reminds him of home. The lakeside is one of those places he enjoys.

He sits on a log near the water's edge, absently rubbing a smooth pebble between his fingers as he watches a single bird glide over the surface of the water. It's here that he waits for company from someone who contacted him for a meeting. Until then, he lets himself get lost in the sound of the wind in the trees and tiny laps of the water on the rocky bank. It won't be difficult for his elven ears to pick up the approach of anyone coming to find him. ]

Comments

[oblige]

Typically, yes. Under extreme conditions, one can lose control, however.

[ It took unwillingly committing patricide and being taunted about it by a spiteful god, in Dion's case. He'd been so careful, but there was no accounting for a petty deity inserting himself into one's family. ]

I have never gotten drunk. It would require more than you'd expect.

[ A Dominant's constitution being what it is, he's never hit that ceiling, not that he'd tried. ]

[twin_blade]

[ If it took years of torment before Dion finally broke down, Vax figures it probably won't happen while Dion is simply drunk. ]

How much is more?

[oblige]

I have never reached that threshold. I outlast men who loom over me in stature.

[ Dominants are simply built different in that way, and having lived his life as one since he was an infant, Dion only knows normal limits by observing those around him. ]

[twin_blade]

That sounds like a challenge.

[ It's a statement of fact, but Vax would consider it a challenge. ]

Too bad the fog made it so dangerous, or you could've tried it like one of the rest of us.

[oblige]

I imagine we would've been accosted had we let our guard down to that degree.

[ The fog just seemed incredibly antagonistic, as though it knew just when to throw some new, horrible thing at them.

There had always been the chance that another among them, driven to madness, could have found them and thought them foes to combat, too. ]

I'd worried I might pose a threat to others, powers or no.

[ So he'd stocked up on sedatives and ensured Clive had some handy, just in case. ]

[twin_blade]

[ There are enough 'what ifs' concerning the fog that Vax knows getting completely wasted would have been a bad idea. One day, he'd like to see Dion let down his guard a little, though. It can't be good for a person to worry about others all the time. ]

Well, maybe one day, we'll get our chance to really cut loose.

[oblige]

[ It surely isn't, but Dion is so long-accustomed that he hardly gives it any thought. ]

Does that include you getting into a brawl of some sort?

[ That did seem something of a point of pride for Vax, so he's curious. ]

[twin_blade]

[ Vax laughs a little. ]

If we're lucky.

[ Then maybe Dion can have his first bar brawl, too. ]

[oblige]

[ A small huff in lieu of a laugh. ]

I suspect you'll make your own luck otherwise.

[ He simply has a feeling. ]

But should that time come, I'll get to witness Ser Vax in action.

[ The legendary bar brawler himself. It'd be novel for that reason alone. ]
