[ Grog was running low on ideas for what to get his friends for Winter's Crest this year... So, he decided to turn The Cask & Anvil tavern into his one-stop-shop for gifts.

Left outside Percy's door with a ribbon haphazardly tied around the neck, and a note in nearly illegible handwriting reading HAPY WINTRS KREST FRUM GROG, is a bottle of gin that he thought suited the gunslinger perfectly. ]

[As soon as she's done at the bonfires for the night, Vex heads straight to Castle Exandria, Trinket at her side. She sends Trinket to go say hello to Pike, Grog and Scanlan before she heads directly to the room she shared with Percival during her first stay in Visium.

With some luck, she finds him there, in their bed, and has to admit that she's surprised that he hasn't tried to bury himself in work. She'd half suspected she'd have to have Vax help her find Percy so that she could make sure he was fed, bathed and rested. And here he is, in bed, looking as if he's been at least listening to the others while she's away.

She quickly strips and climbs into bed with her husband, running a hand through his soft, pale hair.]

Percival~, darling, it's time to wake up.

[Just because he's asleep doesn't mean Percy has been sleeping well. He is very pale and there are dark circles under his eyes even as he lies in the bed at rest. He is also as close to the window side of the bed as he can be almost like he's curled into himself instead of spreading out. He turns into Vex's gentle touch and his eyes snap open at her call.]

Vex...you came home.....

{He sits up overjoyed to have her back but his expression is slightly wary just the same.]

Please tell me I am not dreaming dear?

[She knows the signs of him not sleeping/sleeping like shit all too well. Even before they were lovers, she'd watched the way he'd throw his health to the wayside when his emotions were overloaded. Though, to be fair, she's no better.

At his question, she gives him a slight smirk before she takes one of his hands to rest on a bare breast.]

While I'm more than happy to know that you dream about me, I can assure you that I'm here as much as you or anyone else.

[The hand in his hair slips down his face to swipe at the dark circles under his eyes.]

I wish you'd take better care of yourself. I prefer you healthy.

[He smiles and there is a touch of sadness in it.]

I attempted to carry on, but our host did not make it easy for me....just tonight at the bonfire I was forced to share my escape from the Briarwoods with Willow. I pray it did not unsettle her too much.

[He sits up and kisses his wife.]

You know I do not sleep well without you...though the others did try their best to ease my mind.

From:

[That bittersweet smile breaks her heart. She's seen so many of his expressions, but this one is the one that hurts her the most. Because it means he's also hurt.]

Willow is a strong girl. I'll check on her in a bit. Right now, however, there's someone else that needs my attention more.

[She returns his kiss with the sort of languid passion that rests in her heart at all times for him.]

They're good for trying to keep us distracted when we're parted, but I plan on making sure you sleep better. But that's for later. [Her lips tip into a seductive smile as she pushes him back.] You always sleep better when you're completely wiped out. So, I have some work to do.

From:

[He smiles and this time there is clear joy in it. He knows exactly what is about to happen and he is fully on board as he lets himself be pushed back into the pillows]

Is it really work if we are both enjoying it dear?
