[ Rafa is walking along the beach towards Vex's house. He's barefoot and his shoes are dangling in one hand. The clothes he's found here are far from his usual fare, but he's making do. His daemon is trotting gracelessly along beside him, in part because the sand keeps wrongfooting it, and in part because Jessie the umbreon keeps trying to pounce on it. She gives that up only when she sees Vex's cat daemon in the distance, and then off she goes to hunt it instead. Rafa can't even blame her for disliking them. He ignores this playing around and goes up to sit beside Vex, who is staring into space.
Vex has been morose for days. Rafa has been careful about mentioning it, or his suspicions regarding the reasons behind it. Back in Eudio, Vex had never been away from Mark for very long. The panther's scent had always been on him, but here it's been diminishing every day since they arrived - and despite Rafa coming to the beach house often, he hasn't managed to catch Mark's scent anywhere else. He stays quiet for a moment, waiting for Vex to acknowledge him or at least move, in some way. Then he sighs, and reaches over to touch his hand. ]
If you are going to keep ignoring me, I am going to get a complex. Vex, my love.
[ Rafa moves closer, then chews his lip, and physically lifts Vex's arm to slide beneath it. He curls in against his chest, arms wrapping around his waist. ]
