Ooooof. Matt. Twist the knife. “It’s everything that you wanted your home to be.”
OH the twins being so delighted about seeing their sister, and being asked whether they’d like to see her, and saying in sync, “Of course!”
Like they’ve got no time for their father, but OF COURSE they’re excited to see their sister
Vax and Vex grumbling about how much they hate this place. Keyleth being excited about how pretty it is, and the twins just saying nothing
Oh boy Keyleth trying to greet the elves and Vex telling her they won’t reply because her ‘ears aren’t big enough’ / she’s a half elf
Percy: is your father in charge?
Vax: No
Vex: Ish
Vax: he’s a bureaucrat
Percy: Excellent
Oh boy Vax stuttering over referring to Syldor’s house – “his home, our home, his home”
MATTHEW MERCER IS ON TEAM VALOUR AND I LOVE HIM
oh man vax holding vex’s hand as they walk into the city
ugh laura’s acting is killing me this whole opening confrontation with the elves of syldor is already so painful vex and vax are just so tired and exasperated and angry and hurting
oh man the contrast between vax, who doesn’t want to change anything at all about his appearance, and vex staying up all night trying to keep her clothes clean and make herself look fancy
