"Nothing particularly interesting, I suppose." Vezz taps his claws together, furrowing his brow as he peers up at Kerra. "Nothing much to ask. But I've been through all this myself, and I feel the question begs asking: how are you holding up?"

Kerra blinks, then lets out a sigh as she pulls out a nearby chair and sits down. She offers Vezz a tired smile. "I've been worse, somehow--which I'm aware isn't the best descriptor, but you of all people might have some idea what I mean. I'd be doing much better if the world-ending events could stop for longer than a year. Give me time with my partners that I don't have to fight for. Stop targeting my children."

She puts her face in her hand for a moment, then runs that hand through her leaves. "Aurene can take care of herself. And Rhi can certainly hold their own in combat, I just...I don't know how much you know about the situation in Gyala Delve, but Rhi was involved before I was. They shouldn't have to be there, they don't have to be there, but...like parent, like child. It's a threat to people they care about. They won't walk away.

"There are limits on what I can do to keep them safe--to keep them both safe. I've never been okay with that. I never will be."

#gw2 #kerralind #vezz #other ocs #kerra so DESPERATELY wanted to protect both rhi and aurene from feeling shoved into everything too early #like kerra herself was #and she only managed it half as well as she would have liked at best for them both #and rhi was the one involved in a *lot* of the story bits in 'what lies beneath'#'it's fine if i help out with this and don't tell my parents i'm doing something incredibly dangerous. right. that's cool right.'#to be fair they are mentally an adult at this point; but a young one (like maybe equivalent of 18-19 yrs old)#and their parents have historically been involved in So Many Things that really they should have been called for that reason alone #but. anyways. kerra hasn't fully had to deal with hallucinations stuff yet. that's probably going to show up in the Next chapter released #also she could and would talk a lot with vezz about the trauma they share if he'd be willing to listen #kerra has never really had a parental figure aside from (kinda) the pale tree #and she doesn't expect that specific flavor of support #but she'd take it from him if he offered #that got so LONG but anyways as;lkdjf #thanks a bunch for the ask! :D
