Summary
Vex found her eyes finding Keyleth more and more these days. It's odd. For the longest time the first and only one she looked for was Vax, but it's different now. She looks for black and red in equal measure. Vex would be lying to herself if she claimed she didn't know what it was. She just wished she saw the light in Keyleth's eyes more like she used to. Wished she would smile more like she used to.
Whatever happened in the Raven Queen's Tomb changed the people she cared for most. Vax was more sure of himself and Keyleth's brow furrowed more, her eyes duller. She was still beautiful, she was always beautiful, Vex just wished she knew how to stop Keyleth from falling wherever she could see her slipping to.
OR
Keyleth's anger is more prevalent and Vex watches the woman she fell in love with struggle to find herself again amidst it. Then Keyleth is proved right and she leaves, taking Vex's heart with her and Vex let her. Vex falls in love with Keyleth over the course of their journey and she will be damned if she lets her go after everything. She won't lose the one thing in her life that has never tried to hurt her.
