*Cut for Salem. Give me… Xavier, and then Zephyr.*
He sticks his knife into their mouth and cuts out their tongue, tossing it to the ground and crushing it under his boot, “Lucky Loo didn’t say to cement ya, Jack.” He screams in pain and collapses to the ground.
Vex is doing some mediation in his house, the regular, not floaty kind.

Xavier is practicing his trapeze
"OHHHH, I thought we were killing him." he laughs
Aokiji knocks, bearing tea and rice cakes.
The Duchess catches as she drinks on a wineglass full of corrupted wine “Marvelous, my beloved.”
“Loo said let him live, but teach him a lesson. That’s what ya get for bein’ a rat.” He begins walking away “Come on, we gotta finish our talk.” He holds out a hand, a little sheepishly.
He’s startled, going over to the door and opening it when he sees them “Come in, buddy.”

"Can you catch me?" he asks, smiling
he takes the hand weakly, following and putting his scythe on his back
"Hello, friend." he smiles, coming in and setting the tray down wherever possible.
She puts her glass down, “Of course dear, you will fall into my arms.”
He rubs their hand with his thumb, walking towards the docks, “I… I’m sorry…” He looks down at the ground.
His apartment is simple, just the stuff he needs and everything he owns, which isn’t much.

He swings forward and lets go, closing his eyes as he falls
"s'alright. It's happened, we can't fix the past. We can.. fix the now, tho.."
"Not awfully different from my place. Tea?"
He falls into her arms just like she says as she leaps and catches them, landing softly on her feet.
He walks beside them, leaning against their shoulder, “Oh… okay… I’ll try my best this time.”
“I would love some tea.” He sits down back where he was before.

He smiles, hugging her. "Did I do good?"
He sighs, squeezing their hand. "I hope so... I will, too."
Aokiji pours two cups of tea, handing Vex one.
“In all my years of trapeze, you are the best.” She holds their face with a hand “I love you, dear.”
He walks them to the dock, sitting next to the ocean, swinging his legs in silence.
He happily takes the cup, bowing his head before beginning to sip.

*Character if anyones interested*
Uriel is at the church, sweeping off the front steps after his sermon

She rubs a clawed hand over their head, and along their neck, “Of course, dear. Recovering well?”
He does the same “I… missed things like this… you…”
“As good as it was before, the quality fails to degrade.” He smiles, sipping happily.
She puts them down on the bed, lying next to them, “I’m happy for you.”
He nods slightly, “I… yeah…” He kisses their cheek, leaving a mark of lipstick there, “I’m sorry… again…”
“Haven’t gotten to it just yet, I’ve been mediating without it so far.”
She rubs their back, “Im going to go to the library, maybe visit the little ones, do you want to come?”
“I was gonna wipe it away… when I put it on I didn’t expect… us to be a thing again…”
“I’ve learned a lot more than I would expect about myself, interestingly enough.”
She picks them up again, “Then we should go, finish the day with something more after, maybe.”
He hugs them back, leaning his head into their chest, “I… you’re right… we aren’t there yet…”
“Apparently I am a coward.” He shrugs, sipping the rest of his tea “It’s good to know.”
