Door is open darling, come on in.
[ true to her word he will find the door to her apartment open, unveiling a rather familiar living space. since the last time he's been here she has added a few things to the decor. a number of miscellaneous (and shiny) objects she's picked up over the years. he will find Vex'ahlia in the living room lounging languidly upon the couch with her hair down and wearing little more than an oversized shirt. ]
[Percy got here straight from work, judging from the slightly frazzled look in his eye and the soot stains on his clothes. He holds up a paper bag with the name of a lovely bakery emblazoned across the front.]
Croissants and bear claws.
[Holding out the other bag.]
The finest Chardonnay I could buy, aged in oak barrels.
[And he's going to kind of fold down on the couch next to her and hold out his own file.]
We're going to need it, because I took this file out of the Asgard library, and it's a very infuriating, very enraging read.
[ oh, but the slightly frazzled look is just so good on him as is the soot stains on his clothes. it brings to mind a half remembered memory of Percy leaning over a desk, tinkering with this or that. ]
You brought gifts! [ she shifts, reaching out to take the paper bag before he all but folds down on the couch beside her. automatically Vex takes a bear claw from the bag before handing it back and leans against him. ] And some terrible reading material.
[ still Vex takes the file, casually biting into the bear claw as she reads. after a moment her expression shifts, a frown quickly falling onto her features. ]
You're right, it is an incredibly infuriating read.
It explains their interest in me, I suppose. But it’s bloody idiotic—why massacre my parents and my older siblings? They weren’t unreasonable people! If you didn’t meet them with violence first thing, they were perfectly fine with just sitting down and having tea. [A beat.] A glass of whiskey in Julius’s case, but anyway.
[He pushes a hand through white hair, breathing out slowly. Smoke wisps out from his mouth—he was not lying when he said it was an enraging read. The reason why he isn’t hauling off to go kill someone about it right now is that he already did, in the Asgard incursion, and it’s done nothing, really.]
The gifts are to make up for the awful reading material. [Softly:] I tried to find their files—my siblings’ and our friends’ from before, but. No luck yet. I’m sorry, I know you’re still looking for Vax.
Of course. [ despite the fact he has been to her apartment many times, she shoots him an entirely different address. ] I acquired a new place from Goodwill, you'll have to forgive the sparseness.
hell yea new casaaaaaa we gotta throw u a housewarming party v betchu i can find stuff to decorate with
omw
[Astonishingly, there's going to be a knock on the door an actually reasonable amount of time later. Almost like Ace managed to go from point A to point B without getting distracted, hungry, or falling asleep.]
[ he hasn't ever been the most elegant texter in the months she has known Ace, but something about this immediately sets her on edge. maybe it is the mention of her brother, or maybe it the clear descent into distress she sees as his typing getting even worse than normal.
in reality it is the mess of "nthenuremembertheydied" that sets off the alarms in her head, that distracts her from what she had been doing and causes her to slice open her palm. Vex'ahlia swears, dropping her phone, and scrambles for the first aid kit leaving Ace on read for a few minutes longer than she likes. ]
[It takes probably way too long for ace to actually respond, that 520blazeit is typing.... showing up again and again until he finally manages to type a single word through his tear blurred eyes.]
