This was a trap. If he said the wrong thing about Keyleth, he'd piss everyone off. If he said the wrong thing to her, he'd upset her again and Vax would be pissed. He wouldn't care, except that they were both...well, family.

"Keyleth is never more or less than Keyleth." The same, he knew, could be said about him, and it didn't sound like an insult so much as an observation. "Some people will bend to make other people comfortable. Keyleth won't. It's admirable but it isn't easy."
