There's a chuckle under her breath when he says he misses Vax, too. They've come far from where they once were. She's grateful the two men she loves most love one another now as well. It's as it should be.

"Whatever will we do without all the bickering, belching, and things catching on fire?" Vex asks, sitting up so she can repay that kiss with one of her own, another brief thing on the edge of his lips. He does look better out in the sunlight. She takes a moment to admire him before letting out a soft sigh.

"I love you, you know."

And how wonderful it is to feel brave enough to say it with ease, now.
