When Bradley startles, Vee’s grip on him tightens, the spirit whimpering in their sleep. It was as if, even while asleep, they were afraid that Bradley would leave. That they would be alone again. However, when he hugs them tighter, they seem to relax, nuzzling against him.

“Yeah. He’s with you-know-who now. But I’m the one dealing with them. He’s just making sure they don’t get any ideas.”

They smile. “Hey, anything for Vee. And we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks.”

…their eyes drift down to Vee. Their heart feels heavy, just looking at them.

“…We are, too,” they murmur. “…we’ll be back in a sec, Vee. There’s… someone we gotta take care of, first.”

They set the pendant down by them, an eerie shine going across it. They give one last wave before they leave.

And finally, Vee is safe. - @the-glitchy-voyager

Bradley rests his head on top of Vee's. A part of him spikes with rage at the mere mention of Joule but he knows he can't do anything. Tenebris - and presumably Rex - is taking care of Joule. Bradley is needed here. He is more useful to Vee like this. He just nods, stroking his fingers through their red hair.

"Okay. If they wake up before you come back, I'll let them know you were here. And brought their pendant back."

Speaking of which, he reaches over and grabs it. Putting it on Vee would be difficult without waking them so he simply places it on top of their chest for now. He goes back to hugging them, the soft music in the room and the warmth of the celestial leaning against him lulling him back to a relaxed cozy state.

He is certain they're going to be alright. He, Tenny and evidently Rex will make sure nothing bad is going to happen to them. Joule is powerless and Vee has their pendant back. Everything will be okay.
