a date! a real date??? yes yes yes yes. yes, of course!!! I would love that so much.
Yeah, we did! Completely by coincidence, by the way, it was super wild. We did some work for him before I ever realized it. It also took him forever to admit to it. Jerk.
[Listen, she likes her dad but he can be such a dick.
Keyleth's explanation of her mom's quest and subsequent disappearance is fascinating, though, and Jester hangs on every word.]
Wow, that's...a lot. I'm sorry she disappeared. But I bet she's totally alive out there somewhere and trying to get back home! It's way more common than you'd think.

okay!!! how should I dress? should I bring anything???
shoes are for suckers.
i'm so excited!!!!!!!!
sounds pretty romantic to me, Mr Vessar.
You. What.
Did he know?
What an ass! Sorry.
[Keyleth gets really quiet for a moment]
I don't know. They found her leg. And all of her travel partners. But maybe!

I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of spending time with you, and I don't think it's ever going to stop being exciting that I get to. I love you.
Oh, no, he didn't know until I convinced him of it. He is an asshole, but he's not like the worst. And he's trying now, which is all I really care about.
[Jester's immediately terrified that she's said the wrong thing as Keyleth gets quiet, but when she does reply it sets her at ease a little bit. The arm that loops through Keyleth's gives her a quick squeeze.]
Miracles happen all the time. And hope is free, so I always figure it's better to have hope than to assume the worst. But I'm sorry your mom went missing, it must have been really hard and scary for you.

Oh, okay. That makes it a little better. I'm glad he's trying now. I'd be so mad for you if he wasn't, I'd be coming to Wildemount myself to talk some sense into him.
Hope is free. I like that so much. You're a good person, Jester.
When I was younger, it wasn't so bad. But when I started going through my own Aramente, it was really scary. I just didn't--and still don't--want to leave the people close to me. But I'm learning to deal with it.

[Jester's just beaming at Keyleth, excited flutters rising from her stomach as she gets the sense that she's met a kindred spirit. It's not often that it happens; she's used to playing a foil to her friends' personalities for the most part. It has her tail swishing excitedly behind her as they walk, nearing the area of the island that contains the tailor shop.]
Well, "learning to deal with it" is kind of the name of the game in this place, so you're on the right track!
[She points at the small, run-down building up ahead.] That's the place we're going to, by the way. Everything is so crappy on this island, I don't know if you noticed yet.

we did! and other things. I think we're doing better. Sometimes I still get scared but I know it's just me, I'm starting to feel more secure, with Vax? How are you and Percy? I've been thinking about you but I wasn't sure if I should give you space or...
we're
we're doing better. things are less strange than i thought they would be. i thought i would be more jealous, but really it was just vax that was the problem, but even so i just
we're fine, it's fine. i'll spare you the details.
you don't have to give me space, darling, i said i would be here for you. so i am.
I'm...that's good. I think the world of you two, I want you to...I want your marriage to be happy, even here, if it can be?
You can talk to me, if you want. I'm here for you, too.
Things are still...
I think I've just realized that I have to accept certain things, and since I have, they've been good. Yeah. Thank you, Vex.

[ That last line really hits with Vex, and she looks at her device fondly. ]
I don't think anything can really get in the way of us being happy, Keyleth, despite sleeping with my twin, he's also accidentally killed me once, and we still got married despite it, I'm not sure why I even doubted us.
You've nothing to thank me for, darling. He would've come around eventually. He loves you far too much not to.

well, true. But that ws an accident. But...I'm glad you're not...I'm glad you're not doubting it anymore. I've been thinking about you a lot. I think I said that.
I love him more than anything. I...feel stupid for doubting that, too, even for one second.

I think he loves everybody too much. His heart's just too big. It's not the worst thing in the world.
Yeah, and thinking about if you were okay. I was scared you might be lonely and sad and doing what I'd been doing, too.

[that is so often how Keyleth feels too; or she feels like she's too much for them. Jester's energy matches hers in such a way that she knows that won't be a problem.]
Well, good thing I'm really good at that!
Oh, I noticed. It's not so bad. Do you think it's like that on purpose, though? Or like...I mean. The automatons are so advanced, you'd think...I might have to add this to my theory book and ask Essek.

[As they come up to the entrance, Jester drops Keyleth's arm so she can push the door open, leading her into a quaint little tailor's shop staffed by automatons.]
It's so weird. Like everything is staged or something, you know? Hiii! [This to the robot behind the counter.] We need clothes. Cute ones. Not too slutty.
[The robot...doesn't seem to computer, and instead turns to Keyleth.]
What can we measure for you!
