It was morning in Emon. A few days had passed since Vox Machina had returned to their keep. About a day and a half after they got back, Pike had returned herself, having been told by the Everlight of their survival.
Percy sat at his workbench. He'd fashioned himself a leather and metal contraption that slid over his left palm. It had some fun tricks for later, but field testing of that and his new pepperbox could wait.
He slid gloves over his hands and stowed the gun before cleaning up his tools and exiting the room.
Meanwhile, the others minus Yin were in the main kitchen/dining area they usually were in the mornings. Keyleth used her magic to grow some red flowers in a pot. She picked them up and began to move them somewhere else in the room.
Vex and Vax were sitting by Trinket. The former scratched the bear's neck while the latter was rubbing his paw. Grog tried to replace the door he knocked down the morning of the banquet, but he dropped it on his foot.
"Ow!" Grog yelped before grumbling, "I hate doors..."
Pike sat in the hallway reading. Upon hearing Grog, she put her book down and came over.
"I gotcha buddies," she said, using some healing magic to alleviate the pain.
Grog smiled and wrapped her in a bear hug. The goliath was absolutely over the moon that his best buddy was back with them again.
The two moved the the side as Grog set the gnome down. This happened just in time too as a rather unfamiliar sight strolled right on by.
Those present looked over to see, for the first time in front of them since the Battle of the Ziggurat, Yang.
She didn't look that different other than the fact that the bandages around her chest were fresh now, and she had an opened black haori despite the lack of other clothes on her torso.
Yang grabbed an apple from a fruit basket and started eating it. Suddenly, she seemed to become aware of the others staring at her and she turned around to look right back at them.
"What? We were hungry and I wanted to stretch my damn legs a bit," Yang said completely casually.
Feels kinda weird being conscious on the inside... Yin said. No one else could hear him, but Yang saw him out of the corner of her eyes in the window.
Well, at least you aren't trapped. You'll be back up in a sec. You said it yourself: I should get these dipshits used to me.
Not exactly what I said, but yeah. Just don't go too crazy, alright?
"So...Yang, right?" Vex asked tentatively.
"Yep," she replied, popping the 'p', "I already know the rest of you. Yin gave me the rundown."
"Wait," Keyleth spoke up, "How does this," she indicated to Yang's whole body, "Work?"
Yang blinked.
"Well, I assume my body works like anyone else's, Cupcake. Except for the glowing eyes and tattoos, but I'm sure everything else—"
"No, sorry, I-I meant the you and Yin thing!" Keyleth corrected herself, "Like, which of you came first?"
"Yeah, and why does Yin grow boobs when he turns into you?" Grog spoke up.
