Vex's first thought: Gods, but Percy is more tense about the prospect of sex than anyone she's met in a long time. Possibly ever, which is saying something.
Her second, softer: There is probably a reason for that.
Whatever the source of his anxiety, like his scars, is his own. They've barely known each other more than a few hours and she is being remarkably forward in all of this. She won't ask. She has no interest in prying.
However, she can have some compassion.
Rather than trace any scars, Vex places her hand on Percy's back, firmly between his shoulder blades, and urges him toward the bath.
"We'll see how it goes. Unfortunately, what I had in mind still might steam them up."
