"When you put it like that, you do make a very good point," Vai says with a laugh that seems to have come from across the years, back when she'd made her home in a little cottage in the Greatwood. "And in that case, I hope it's peaceful enough that you forget about haircuts for a long time." Mussing his curls to punctuate her point, she raises her eyebrows at his innocent expression (that she doesn't believe for even a moment) and crooked smile.
"Mmhm," she drawls, given away by her grin. "I suppose we should all be grateful that you'd even go as far as to point people to the exit instead of just getting on with it right in front of them," she agrees, glancing as well towards Ronin, her expression softening. "This - all of this - is the most precious gift you could have given him," she says, stepping in to lean gently against his side.
As for Mort's halls, Vai gives him a gentle elbow. "Oh it's packed with action," she tells him, trying to lighten the mood. "I can bring my fairytales to life with a thought, I never get tired when I go on a hunt, my food never burns and my tea is always hot. You'll love it when you get there one day." And she might not even be lying. "Not too soon though," she adds.
Oh, but Theea? Vai lets out a shivery breath, her smile helpless and her eyes pricking with tears. "I have," she whispers. "She's wonderful."
