Bonus:
The human is practically throwing himself at DAX! Where was this when ZEX was still around!

#Doodles#SCII#DAX#The Captain#ZEX#For being so sad this idea ended up quite silly actually lol#But I want to focus on the sad first!! Angst then crack!!!! Lol#I have poked around the idea of DAX surviving ZEX post-Beauty but I didn't really consider how the Captain would react#Mostly because I think DAX would be Incredibly angry and blame him extremely strongly and if he was healed enough he'd take it out on him#But - what if? Love what ifs#What if in his own grief the Captain was able to move DAX's heart - ZEX was important to both of them! Would that be enough?#(I mean I don't think so but that's the fun of the what if hehe) (Just don't get close while DAX is behind the sights Captain!)#Poor Captain :( Poor DAX - no one on either of their own sides would really Get It the way they both would but they're in such mismatch!#The Captain young and openly grieving the loss of a friend and playmate and the role he played in it#DAX quiet and private and stoic but so deeply lost without his Admiral and wanting to shut himself off further#Also blaming himself for not being able to better protect him and just barely able to keep himself from getting his revenge#Can just imagine wrapping his arm around the Captain's neck and him not fighting back - just staring sadly in complacent guilt#Disgust - self-aimed or outward - being the only thing to loosen DAX's arm and tell him not to come back but he always does#They've always had animosity at the front of their dynamic <3 Would their shared grief be enough to bridge A gap? Hmmm#Seeking comfort and rejecting closeness - incompatible! But the Captain is nothing if not tenacious and determined even at his lowest moment#He just has to get through to DAX! No one else understands! No one else will be there for him either! Has to do both! Captain no haha#Alright now onto ZEX silliness lol ♥#If a VUX afterlife exists and he'd just get to hang out spectrally and watch what his two favoured companions got up to what would he think#''It should've been me!!'' probably lol ZEX it already was you! In this continuity anyway if the Captain thinks of ZEX so fondly <3#But all the things he could see without detection being a ghost! Surely they wouldn't mind they wouldn't even know it's fine definitely#His unfinished business is in seeing all the things he was barred from in life lol he'll stick around foreverrrr in that case haha#It was a lot of fun to draw him smoothly in that chibi style as well haha - I've gotten unused to tapered head feelers! Cute! ♥
