Vax had been trying to split his attention between six different people at the same time, trying to gauge Keyleth's level of confusion and comfort, how much Shaun had a grasp on the situation, what had happened with Cisco, just how angry Hartley was and whether he was going to react about it, what Harry might be moving to do in this situation, and just how steady Percy was when it came to getting back to their apartment. It had also been a divided concern, an intense desire to help everyone at the same time but knowing that he wasn't capable of doing that. Or at least, it had been until he'd seen Percy begin to topple over.
One click of his boots of haste later, and Vax had situated himself on the other side of Percy to keep him from colliding with the floor, all other thoughts and distractions pushed from his mind. Percy had been their immediate concern when they had arrived here, and he should still very much be their immediate concern now.
Sometimes it was very easy for Vax to forget just how much Percy pretended to be fine when he really wasn't. It was far too easy to just let that pretending stand.
"Come on, Freddy. On your feet," Vax said, hefting Percy to his full height with a smile. "It's a shame I already burned through my wings, or I could have just flown you back. You think you're up to walking if we all help, Perc?"
