    Summary

    Vex’s throat is raw with pain and caked with dust. She swallows trying to force some amount of saliva to take the dust with it. She feels Keyleth move in her arms, and as Vex stumbles blindly away from the Malleus Key, she looks down to see Keyleth looking up at her.
    “Vex?” Her voice is small and weak, too weak. Vex shakes her head and glances between her face and her surroundings to make sure she doesn’t stumble into anything.
    “Save your energy, darling.” She feels Keyleth move her head back and forth in her arms as if to disagree, and Vex has to stop the emotions from trying to move up her throat.
    “Vex, I’m not g-going to-” Vex shakes her head forcefully, but her answer is dense with the restraint of someone holding back a sob.
    “Stop talking, Keyleth.”
    “V-Vex, you have to go… You’re bleeding out, Vex. You have t-to-”
    “You cannot ask that of me!”
