[He concedes, looking up at Vex as he takes the offered food. He shuts his eyes as if that'll help him remember, before opening them and shaking his head.]
They were wearing a mask, and they didn't look like anyone I knew. [At least, no one he knew well enough that he'd recognizes them by their size or build or hair.]
Steve may have. My vision was swimming by the time he arrived. I'd been struck twice by then, in the head. [His poor head. That's where he keeps his brain. He needs his brain, Vex.]
[More than that, but he still doesn't know her very well yet. Which is fine. He will the longer they live together.]
A mask. Hm. I've seen a few people like that lately. [That doesn't sit well with her, especially since she can tell that Caleb is being as truthful with her as he possibly can be. She runs her fingers through his hair in an effort to calm him down.] Don't worry, Caleb. I'll have Vax and Keyleth keep their eyes open for anyone matching this and we can track down where this is coming from, at least.
You stay here and rest. You shouldn't have a concussion, so after you eat, I want you to go to your room and get some sleep. Perhaps you should contact Peter to stay with you, since I doubt you'd like to have Trinket as a babysitter.
[So many fox-related shenanigans in this place. There's definitely a theme. Caleb quiets at the fingers in his hair and the words that follow. Oh. Vex cares. He realizes this shouldn't be a surprise. They've established they are friends. Vex was the one who took him in to begin with, but... Caleb has those lingering issues with his own self-loathing that it's always a bit of a surprise when others don't also think of him that way.]
I will rest. And while Trinket is excellent company, yes, perhaps I will call for Peter.
