Keyleth tilted her head a little as one of the strangers - the handsy one, not the yelling one - introduced himself and offered his hand. Hers weren't on fire anymore, so she cautiously took it, shaking quickly, looking at the other two he introduced. The one who'd been quietest gave a little brief wave as Harrison said his name. Keyleth waved back. "I'm Keyleth," she said slowly. "Also a friend of Percy's ... and everyone else. Except you. Since I don't know you." That came out much more awkward that it had in her head.
Keyleth shot Vax a look, brow knit. She desperately wanted to ask how they were all friends, and how they knew one another, and what, exactly, was going on, and why had no one told her about this if they were all so familiar with this place and these people? But it wasn't the time, so she didn't. She still leaned into Vax a little though, taking the comfort of the contact where it offered. "I really don't think it works like that," she said. Since that was most definitely not her father and Vax would probably have used his actual hands to cast that spell if Percy was his brother.
"She's dead," Keyleth said quickly, after Percy gritted out Ripley's name. "Ripley, she's gone. If it ... helps at all." Cassandra and Percy had a lot tied up in their memory of the woman. At least they could know Percy's death, averted or not, hadn't been for nothing.
She frowned a little at Hartley for the mild threat to Vax, but Vax didn't seem concerned. And Grog threatened him with worse than that on a daily basis, so Keyleth let it go, though she shifted to keep herself between him and the still mostly defenseless Percy, just in case. "Percy has a lot of friends who aren't idiots." Keyleth stopped and then amended. "Who aren't always idiots." Because they were all pretty frequently idiots. "And he has one who isn't." But Pike wasn't here. "It's ... well it's nice to meet you, but honestly it's probably still too weird to be nice to meet anyone." She looked at Percy. "Is there an inn or somewhere safe he can rest?" she asked. She smiled tiredly at Percy. "Confused doesn't even BEGIN to explain it. But Vax can explain. You should rest. And then later when you wake up and Vax has confused me more, you can explain it better." She gave Vax a smile that tried for teasing, but was still a little strained.
