#Vera's mom instincts are not to be trifled with

[king-of-fae]

Lol just a quick little something I had to write.

---------------

You have seen many sides of Vex since your first meeting. You have seen them calm or confidently flirtatious. Irritated, and even angry. They like to keep an air of mystery about them, but you’ve never seen them like this.

“Mama, please…”

Vera continues to regale you with stories of Vex’s childhood, “Oh, my little star was such a darling when they were little!”

Whatever you were expecting from your first time meeting your partner’s mother, this definitely wasn’t what you pictured. Luckily you didn’t get the shovel talk (you already got one of those from Ignis), instead, you got the most enthusiastic welcome and the nicest interrogation you’ve ever seen. Do you prefer tea or coffee, dear? Would you like something to eat? Something sweet or salty? No need to call me ma’am, Vera will do just fine. All the while Vex scurried along behind her as she hurriedly moved to and fro to make sure you were comfortable, frantically begging her to just take a seat and that she needn’t blow this out of proportion.

Now the three of you are sitting with a full retinue of snacks and beverages as you listen to childhood stories about Vex, whose face is beet-red at this point with their head in their hands.

“I made them a little doll shaped like my familiar and they loved it so, so much,” Mag, her familiar, cackles from his perch by the window.

“So cute, so cute!” the pale raven sings.

“They had so much trouble sleeping without it until they were almost ten. Do you still have it, little star?”

“...yes,” they mumble an embarrassed response.

“Oh! I almost forgot!” Vera hurries to her feet and glides over to the bookshelf, “I had a friend paint some portraits of Vex when they were a baby. Let me see if I can find them.”

Vex is on their feet in an instant, using their body to block her reach of the shelf.

“MAMA, NOOO! PLEASE NOT THE BABY PORTRAITS!”

Omg Vex tells their mom about us

Hehe she's very excited to meet MC. Be prepared to hear many stories about Vex when they were little.
