God freaking break my heart already. Vax hears Vex’s voice in his ear begging for his help and stops, choking up on instinct, feeling the need to go to her even whilst he’s under Sylas’s control. And then this bastard says, “keep up please”, and he’s pulled back into the spell.

Vax: I have a bad feeling about this
Vax: (puts his cloak of elvenkind around Vex’s shoulders)
Vex: No, no no no
Vax: Shut up. You almost lost me. I almost lost you. You will wear it, and you will hide if you need to.
Vex: Ok
Vax: (walks away)
Vex: (puts the hood up)
