Look at Tal. He's so proud.

Percy and Vex’s children say something like this and Percy and Vex are like ‘aw they don’t know poverty like we do’ snd pat themselves on the back for not traumatising them. and then realise they should send their kids on a survival day out or something
Like Vesper is like ‘why haggle? Why build something yourself? Just buy it?’ And Vex and Percy have simultaneous heart attacks

i am endlessly fascinated by the de rolo children. do you think they know what their parents went through? even if their percy and vex dont give them all of the details, they're literal living legends, they 100% heard from somewhere else. what comes with the weight of being related to not one, but three legendary heroes? are they proud of their name? does the weight of it drag them down? do you think vax'ildan de rolo and his double-barrel legacy name is constantly observed by past acquanitances of his uncle, the ghost, to see if he bares any resemblence to him? is it worse to disappoint or live in the shadow of a legend you never met?

It is a beautiful day, and the entire de Rolo family is outside enjoying it. Vesper is reading a book while Leona weaves a dandelion crown for herself. Percival is rocking Freddie in his arms while listening intently to Wolfe talk about something interesting he’d found.
Vex tilts her head back and closes her eyes. She drinks in the warmth of the summer breeze, the sound of her children playing, and the comfort of Trinket lying behind her.
“Mommy, can I ride Trinket?” Vex opens her eyes to see Leona waiting eagerly for her answer.
“Trinket, would you be okay with that?” Vex asks. Trinket instantly gives a rumble of agreement.
When Vex nods, Leona instantly claps with joy, her eyes lighting up. “Yay!”
Vex and Trinket both get up and after a moment, Vex lifts Leona onto Trinket’s back. Then, she helps her daughter wrap her arms around his neck. “Remember to hold on very tight, darling.”
“Are you sure I won’t hurt him?”
“I promise you won’t. He’s a very strong bear. Okay, buddy, go slow.” Trinket starts walking slowly, but Vex stays close by just in case. Percival watches them with a broad grin while Wolfe looks on with envy.
Vex runs her hands over Trinket's head. His fur is soft and thick beneath her fingers. He’s been at her side through so much, and now, he gives rides to her children. Tears burn behind her eyes at the thought, but she smiles anyway.
“You are such a good boy, Trinket.” Trinket rumbles in agreement, and Vex laughs.
“I want to go next!” Wolfe whines, but when she raises her eyebrows, he adds, “Please?”
“All right. I’ll let you know when it’s your turn.”
At that moment, Vesper calls to Percy. He is careful not to wake the baby as he stands up, brushes himself off, and walks over to their eldest child. Wolfe follows in his footsteps, copying his movements almost exactly. Vex laughs at the sight, and Percy turns to give her a faux scowl. It warms her heart.
This is her life, and it is wonderful. She gets to spend her days with the man she loves, their children, and even Trinket. Even though her grief is never far away, she is happy.
She wonders if, somewhere, her brother smiles at the sight.

Thinking about Percy and Vex having baby Gwen and the kids being sooo surprised and excited. Perhaps not Vesper— she’s the oldest and they might have told her their past— but Leona, Wolfe and Vax’ildan II would be like ‘why is she a tiefling? Doesn’t matter she’s so cool’. Like imagine if your Mum popped out a tiefling I’d be so excited.

Wondering about how much Percy thinks about his family, how he must wonder if they’d be ashamed of him for all he’s done. His rage came from love, but it was rage nonetheless. He’s changed enough that he’s not the same person they knew. If a miracle occurred and they lived again, would they still love him? If they didn’t, would he have the right to ask for it?
But if they did, would he allow them to?
