Vex can read him like the book she left on the nightstand. It goes both ways: he's correct to assume the need in their kiss would remind Vex of his health. It does. But that's not entirely why she breaks the kiss, reaching up to stoke his jaw with the backs of her fingers.
He does so much better when he can be himself. Do what he enjoys. When he can forget he was recently deceased. She gets it.
"Tomorrow... let's spend an hour or so in your workshop."
Vex slides a finger down his jawline, index finger at the underside of his chin. There are other things that make him feel like himself.
"As for tonight? You'll have to remain on your back."
