The Likes of a Girl

I truly fucking love that out of all the people in the group to try and reach out to Pike at her breaking point, It's percy.

And it's 100% because Percy's been at that same ledge Pike has now crossed over.

Just pure blind vengeance. Your world has literally been torn asunder, you have nothing else to live for and the only thing you have on your mind is to kill what's actively hurting you.

I…I just…why???

“Hey come to Whitestone! Percy and me got married and wanna have a small ceremony with you all!”

And doesn’t Whitestone have like…spies or something in the employ of the De Rolos? I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard to keep tabs on the group and yet they never do.

Like, outside of Vex telling Vax that it’s alright that people have secrets, there was no instance where they tried to tell anyone about the marriage before the reveal. The first time Percy mentioned their betrothal was to a god, and the rest of the party just happened to be there. And even then, the truth of their marriage was brought up the next episode when Scanlan’s teasing tricks Percy into admitting they were not betrothed but had eloped.

If not for outside forces, there is no indication that Vex and/or Percy would have told VM about their elopement.

I will play devil’s advocate since, after the reveal in campaign, Vex told Vax that she wanted to tell him, but it felt like bad timing and then things kept happening. So there is SOMETHING, but it kinda sounds like an excuse since we don’t know when they married in the break, which means we don’t know how long she had been putting it off. Was it a month, was it six, or was it the entire year?

Plus, the secret is worse in campaign because VM was in constant communication over the break and Vex/Percy STILL NEVER TOLD ANYONE! They were making biweekly trips to see each other, which was much easier as Keyleth lived in Zeprah with Vax and Grog and Pike were in Vasselheim. The only one they couldn’t talk to was Scanlan. With all that time spent together, Vex and Percy were resolved to keep their marriage a secret!

It’s actually easier for it to be a secret in the show. Vex and Percy were the only ones STATIONARY. Like, how can they send letters if Vax and Keyleth are traveling around the world! The only location they could send a letter too is Zeprah, but the whole point of Keyleth’s Aramente is that she can’t go home until it’s complete, so there is no guarantee that any letter sent would be received in a timely manner. The same is true for Pike, Grog, and Scanlan! And given that Percy mentioned the Grey Hunt as being a ceremonial title is s4e1, then the spy network hasn’t been established in show since that’s what the Grey Hunt was! So they wouldn’t be able to keep track of anyone, and you can’t send a letter if you don’t know the destination!! If VM had no contact for a year, then it’s because no one was sending Vex and Percy letters to respond too!!
