[ sterile, clean, quick - he's no pickles, but he knows what he's doing. years of living alone with vex taught vax all kinds of useful skills. i'm going to talk you into the grave gets a huff of a laugh, humorless, the corner of vax's mouth lifting as he stretches across the room for a candle and sticks the tip of the needle in the light.
with vex, for vex. for percy, his friend, companion, teammate - his brother in law, he thinks. he hopes. for their sakes, for percy's sakes, for vex's when he's gone, he hopes. and that, more than anything, is why percy will stay a thorn in his side, and vax briefly glances up to lock eyes with him. ] Damn right.
[ no one's dying here.
vax's hands are perfectly steady, even if the left is bloodied now; he pulls the thread, looks down, and while percy's drinking, plunges the needle through to start the stitches so he doesn't see the first push. it's easier that way. ]
Might wanna keep with the compliments to the guy stitching up your fucking insides. [ this is delivered as dry as the desert. normal, normal. everything's normal - pull the stitch, close off the bleeding, fix percival. it's normal. ] Thankless bloody job, taking care of you.
