This time Percy did flinch, and at the same moment, felt Vex's hand come
down on his knee. It was a comfort, knowing she was listening, that she
would keep this from getting out of hand. ...if all I do is mourn what's
lost. Vax was speaking of himself, not the vengeance -- and the blank
sense of purpose that existed outside of it -- that was Percy's existence.
He drew in a slow breath. "I don't wish..." His lip curled as he sought the
words. "I don't wish that on anyone. It's destroyed me. Made me too
protective of the things that are left. I just don't want you to regret
giving up too soon."
