Knowing Percy means knowing he needs to find his own strength--but she's happy to exist in the space beside him, to be the one he trusts to brace him if he falters. Her fingers lace between his, but that's all it is. He's keeping himself up, setting the pace, and she's proud of him. Each day he improves.
"I can only imagine," she says, looking to him with a sympathetic smile. There's a lot of history here, though not all of it can be bad. "You have the opportunity to make this place your own. Honor the memory of your family, and shape it for the future you want. You and Cassandra both."
Whatever that might look like. Thoughts of the future are a relatively novel concept to Vex. While she misses her brother like a limb, the prospect of a future here, with Percy, is a balm.
"There's a lot of work to do, and we have time to do it. That's something to be glad for."
