my friends and i, we got a lot of problems (rp for
ihatepuns)
The morning after returning to Emon and Vox Machnia is right back where it started. Sort of. They are, thankfully, not still in the Underdark and there's light, real light, spilling in from the window beyond the table and turning the remains of more than a dozen breakfast dishes from silver to gold, but the arguments have started again. Vax really isn't surprised, given the gravity of the situation, the Horn, whether or not they can trust Kima and her people, whether or not they can trust Allura for the same reasons, but they're all going around in circles, now, and anytime someone tries to step up, to say their idea is what they're going with, the end, the others shoot them down in unison. It's the only thing they can seem to agree on, really, and it's getting fucking tedious.
That in mind and despite the fact that he already unofficially excused himself from this conversation long ago, throwing the towel in on trying to be heard over the others, he shoots a sideways glance at Clarota. A glance turns into a thoughtful look, accompanied by a frown, a moment after that, and a moment after that, Vax focuses himself inwards, practically shouting in his own head, even if his only outwards tell is him vaguely tilting in Clarota's direction.
Hey, Noodles. If I think really loud, can you hear me?

Not that she won't give it to them - Clarota is new to their group and she has no problems lending him money to get what he needs to get settled, but, well. That's an important question anyway.
no subject
Well, she knows that Gilmore's work doesn't come cheap.

She figures it's best to get Clarota equipped quickly before they run into any problems with the spellwork (considering there's already the one she doesn't know about).
no subject
Which is to say that Clarota seems at least marginally more comfortable with him than any of the rest of Vox Machina, so far, and he wants to be there for him, for that very reason. So, long story short, yeah. They'll come along. He shrugs, as if that says it all without him having to say it. They're twins; it probably does.
no subject
She also doesn't press for a finish to that sentence, because yes, she does get it without him needing to say it. "Where did you leave him anyway?" she asks as she gets to her feet and steps back out of Trinket's way as the bear stands from his place half under the table.

Spoilers: yes, yes, she is. Not that she doesn't have reason for it and not that he doesn't know those reasons, but, well. She has to object.
no subject
Not horrible. Not that tight with their money. Either way, it works, and either way, he's just teasing her because she's his sister and he can. It's his right and royal duty.

Clarota looks up as they approach, nodding a greeting to Vex. "Again, I thank you for this."
Vex waves a hand at him. "You're welcome, of course, but I can't very well argue against anything that will keep people from coming to the wrong conclusions and trying to kill one of us." She gestures past them all, to the entrance of the keep. "We shouldn't keep him waiting."

"Shall we?" she asks the others, gesturing for them to proceed her into the shop.
no subject
Inside, Gilmore is loitering by the counter, pretending to be busy and -- mostly failing. Sherri might buy that he's actually being useful, if only because she's pointedly not paying him much attention, very busy with her own, real work and only partially because the boss is right there, but he's not fooling anyone else. The fact that he straightens when he sees them and immediately heads over doesn't help much with the illusion.
"Vex'ahlia, darling," he drawls, as he meets them. A nod to Vax follows, then one to Clarota.
no subject
She could get right to business, but a little small talk won't hurt first considering it has been a while since she's seen him and does consider him a friend beyond just a business associate.
