Noctisardor Bypass into dust first

it's perfect, lmao!

a soft scowl twists his features as kaertok tells him he'll do nothing but observe. it's a logical response, sure; but vex has this misconception that because his father treats him like an adult therefore he is. for a second, vex — now piguktuk — considers insisting that he can help but bites his tongue to keep the words from slipping betwixt his lips.

it is the assumption based on experience that it will not go over well for him that quiets the desire to be argumentative.

on the topic of his new name, he considers it for a few moments. piguktuk. eventually, vex repeats it, sounding it out on his tongue. while vex tried to not feel any particular way about it — he couldn't help but the slight proud lift of his muzzle at his father's bestowed name ...only serving to prove that the name is, startlingly, accurate.
