Keyleth – Page 9 – Lesetoilesfous

ha, i love percy and keyleth, both being exhausted as everyone else comes downstairs after they worked through the night making the potion

Percy, of the fire ashari: I know you don’t want to go
Keyleth: I really don’t
Percy: But you have to go

keyleth: how was that? did that sound ok?
grog: that was the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard
percy: you did good, you did good
scanlan: i thought she did very well

oh my god Grog trying to coach Keyleth in talking to the wolf and the whole thing going terribly is both excruciating and hilarious

oh god Vax leaves Keyleth’s room and falls asleep in Vex’s doorway

Keyleth: I’m afraid, every time I look at one of your faces, that this is gonna be your last. And I feel like deep down I know that day is coming. So because of that, I’m afraid to let myself feel something deeper than what I already do

And Vax quickly leaves the room. And Keyleth bursts into tears

fuck. even if everything works out, if Keyleth becomes headmaster, she’s still going to outlive them

Keyleth: I thought I was gonna lose you back there, and I’m terrified I’m still going to
Vax: I love you
Keyleth: ….And I think I love you. But I’m terrified to allow myself to.

Oh god. Keyleth tried to cast greater restoration and it failed and then a raven, out of nowhere, broke the silence

Vax: I don’t know if I did anything in there, and I wouldn’t take it back if I did. But I don’t know what I’m doing
Keyleth: I don’t know if it was very noble or very stupid, if I’m being honest. Probably a bit of both
