[Percy is both not surprised and surprised at Vex's actions. This is what he has been missing since she's been gone. The quiet moments that make the emotional struggles and physical battles worth it. Just having his wife beside him in bed soothes his agitated mind and reminds him he is more than his work and his nightmares. The others tried their best, but this, Vex beside him, his hand tangled gently in her hair is what he needed. He could spend the rest of the night like this and be more than happy even if other parts of him want to complain about it.]

I would hope so dear or I spent far too much time making our wedding rings if I'm not.

[While the words carry his normal amount of snark, the heat is not behind it. His voice is soft and quiet and he is smiling as he strokes her hair. This is Percy De Rolo at peace, a thing few get to see.]
