KINDA (??) PLOTTED STARTER FOR A STAR! @windsfavored ✶
the sound of lumine’s fingers brushing against the rapidly flipping pages of some random book ( again ) OBNOXIOUSLY filled the library.
❝ ren? ❞ she LAZILY turned her head to FACE him as it rested on her hand, her voice ending in a LONG SIGH that sounded as DRAINED as her eyes were DULLED with boredom. ❝ im just curious… ❞ her lips quiver and a small tear PRICKS at her ducts as she yawns, arms outstretched OVER her head. the WANDERER was usually very good at keeping the traveler on HIGH ALERT, but not today it seems ( and with how UNBELIEVABLY UNINTERESTING this was, she was secretly hoping he had SOME mischievous scheme up his sleeve ).
in a swift MOTION ( that displayed her tendency to be OVERLY cautious ) her hand lowered from ABOVE her head to SHIELD THE WORDS her mouth formed. her voice, a whisper that was LESS for the consideration of the library and MORE for ren's identity. ❝ why are you studying all of this history if you were around to witness it yourself? ❞
and MORE IMPORTANTLY, why in celestia’s name did she have to tag along and HIT the books with him? with how often he made it a POINT TO INSULT her intelligence, she figured she was much too incompetent for his standards to be considered worthy for an exciting day at the library alongside the PRODIGY of the vahumana school.

PLOTTED STARTER FOR A STAR! @basbousah ✶
the lid SLAMS back down onto the BOILING pot of aromantic soup.
❝ kaveh, ❞ lumine says WARNINGLY, wooden ladle pointed at him ( the THREAT comes from a VERY caring place in her heart ). ❝ sit, sit back down. you must be tired. you look tired! ❞ there is no room for ANY OBJECTIONS, especially when it comes to the wellbeing of kaveh. the kitchen counter is a SMALL hurdle to jump if she needs to herd him back to the dinner TABLE.
however, speaking with disregard of how INSISTENT lumine was being, the atmosphere swirled with a cozy, and homely feeling. just what ANYONE would NEED after chipping away at BUILDINGS and meeting a client's EVERY DEMAND, or whatever it was he did, lumine was certainly NOT an expert. but what she ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, KNEW FOR A FACT is that kaveh was exhausted. the feeling was a COMMON REOCCURENCE for the traveler, and she could SEE that in him.
❝ this will make you feel so much better after you eat it- trust me. ❞ she REASSURED him as her hands work on pulling oven mitts. another wave of flavor floats through the air as she OPENS it, revealing a STEAMING tray of an arrary with some oversized and appetizing biscuits ( golden and crisp! ). off come the gloves to grab a plate and TOSS ONE on there, just to hold him over. she was ALWAYS IMPATIENT when it came to FOOD so she wanted to make sure he wasn't starved. ❝ ow! ❞ she licks the fingers that became TOO HOT from holding the biscuit, her other hand places the plated ( fresh ) pastry in front of him. ❝ be careful, ah- maybe let it cool bit, it's hot. ❞

it MAY ( or MAY NOT ) come as a surprise that lumine couldn't feel more out of place within the walls of the palais mermonia during such DEDICATED work hours. the seasoned traveler had traversed parts of teyvat one could only dream of SEEING, including but not limited to VAULTS of knowledge and RUINS lost to time. to put it BLUNTLY, a bustling office building WAS NOT one of these places; nevertheless she felt right at home with neuvillette and paimon and the casual ( yet FANTASICALLY JARRING in a sense, in contrast to the mythical contents ) conversation between the three of them.
that being said, she was TAKEN aback when she registered the beginning of his explanation. he certainly wasn't the type to leave anyone in the DARK and though she wasn't deeply versed in the fables of TEYVAT, she found herself hanging onto the edge of her seat while LISTENING to his tales ( there was a comfort in being trusted enough to be told such ANCIENT SECRETS, even if she was just a spectator ). when reiterated from a HOLDER of the elemental authorities, the MORALS of said MYTHS were truly crystal clear. but surely these AGE-OLD STORIES were not all true, PASSING by word of mouth alters the tellings GREATLY, making them rather unreliable for HISTORICAL use and more for a CULTURAL aspect ( not to say that she DOESN'T enjoy it ) .
❝ i think so too. the exaggerations just make the point of it concise. at the cost of skewing the original story, that is. ❞ which is practically WORKING BACKWARDS now that she thought about it. and his words after were a�� sight to behold, for who knew the pristine ORDAINER of inexorable judgement could be quite HUMOROUS when he WANTED to!
❝ without a doubt! ❞ her hair sways with the tilt of her head, returning the smile. ❝ i've caught many tales of times prior to the primordial one in my travels. ❞ MORE tales of the dragon sovereigns have come her way than clues of her brothers' WHEREABOUTS to date, so she would consider herself a CHRONICLER of their stories tragically.
@lumintaru: ❝ things with ‘legendary’ in the title are usually just stories. ❞ ↳ tears of the kingdom.
palais mermonia was active in the early hours: clerks moved from each table, giving or taking papers to be filed; gardes vigilant at each doorway; sedene, ever - helpful, aided neuvillette with his daily schedule. an extremely preoccupied man, he acquired a paltry number of hobbies. one you could not even put into the same category. boring, his routine was ( & believes himself to be ) yet certain figures were becoming intrigued by recent actions. odd, then, do violet - blue eyes cease scanning the reports on his file when paimon brought up fables / myths: asking him, as a long - lived species, if he knew any from his earlier years —— or were part of them.
“ some of these are quite archaic . . . ” a rich, low timbre like ripples on water answered & he decides, for this moment only, to reiterate chronicles of years past. myths have a basis in reality, small it may be: which is why, although his approach to conundrums mainly originates from the iudex, prolonged exposure to mortal society altered this logical, impartial viewpoint: making him more . . . human than he realizes. after taking a sip of mondstadt’s water, neuvillette’s eyebrow rose —— then, he slowly nodded.
“ an exaggeration, no doubt, hence the addition of ‘ legendary. ’ people have a tendency to embellish mundanity. that in itself is not a bad thing, as long as it does not affect anyone in a negative manner. however . . . ”
a hidden, mirthful smile —— rare upon a countenance usually serene.
“ there is no such epithet attached to the dragon sovereigns. ”

a small ❝ uh oh ❞ escaped from her lips ( that was a SPECTACLE if she's ever saw one ).
had the WANDERER finally lost his centuries old marbles? maybe he just needed some TEA to return to his normal, unflattering self. but now that she THINKS about it, wasn't he always this conceited?
"Happy birthday to me. Glorious me, wonderful me!"
Nope he regrets this. Screw it, to him it was just another day.

well no one was going to celebrate with some PESSIMISTIC PUPPET that already ruined the partying mood. KILLJOY was an UNDERSTATEMENT. lumine also went through her phase of spending her birthday as just another day, before she came to VALUE the MEANING of them. she knows fujin has HIS reasons, she used to have HER own too. it keeps getting harder to see the point in commemorating another year ALIVE when you've already lived through a multitude of DEATHS ( from one immortal to another ).
but LEAVING such a special day to WASTE away simply irks her so. it just so happens that she had the perfect idea to convince him to enjoy this special day. with an unimpressed look at his nonchalance, she SCOFFS and shakes her head. ❝ is that so? ❞ she laughs, mischief rings in her voice, ❝ because i've just thought of a few ways we could get revenge on all those akademiya students that always bother you... ❞ oh, those POOR, POOR souls if only they knew the WRATH of shamefully immature pranks that were soon to befall them!
"So, I heard it's my "birth". Hmph. Sadly, I don't fully understand human birthdays so I just spend this day like any other honestly. In peace with a cup of bitter tea, sorry to burst anyone's bubble with saying this. It's just how it is."

merry day after christmas!! i would like to show you all the WONDERTART baked by me ( yes, baking a tart from a video game, i wasn't lying i am such a nerd ) !! it took 2 days and i am still really happy with how they came out!! they tasted amazing, especially for my first time making them with some flimsy recipe i found, i'm just happy my family enjoyed them.
making these was so much fun not just because of my affinity for baking / cooking, but because it comes from a place which means a lot to me and my younger sister. cuphead is my favorite game and i have countless good memories sharing the game and show with her. i'm so grateful for her and the rest of my family that stuck around during ups and downs. aaanyways, more pics under the cut :)

LET ME ASSIGN YOU AN AFFECTION LANGUAGE
𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱
HERE'S a dining table, HERE'S a set of plates. HERE'S your heart, red and bursting with LOVE. You have tried to LOVE people all your LIFE, but no one seems to understand you. Your own mother perhaps forgot to teach you how to PROTECT yourself, maybe people whom you trusted chose to look the other way when all you WANTED was a hand full of LOVE. All you want is someone to take from you, all you want is someone to DIG in your heart and eat it and KISS you afterwards - bloody and red. You want them to tell you that you are what they have been looking for, you want to be the one who ENDS their HUNGER.

the life of the traveler is NEVER void of conflict, whether it be presented as physical or some other manner, she was always toe to toe with the problems of this world. keeping her guard up isn't a CHOICE anymore with how BIG of a target people see her as, she learned this after a few darts managed to HIT the throwing board. and as such, it can be hard to find comfort in silence or darkness, the quiet that HIDES eyes TAINTED with rapacious glazes. the feeling fails to be easily shaken, until she hears layla's VOICE.
❝ oh, it's you! ❞ the scholar's tone is NEARLY replicated. she doesn't need to MOVE when lumine is making her way up to be alongside her. ❝ i've never been one for stargazing, ❞ the BITTERNESS that seeps in her words is hidden as best as she can. she has seeked their illuminating guidance before and they NEVER answered her pleas. ❝ still, do you mind if i join you? ❞ yet, her smile doesn't hide her INCLINATION for learning more about that which piques her curiosity.
❝ and this? i was practicing with dendro ... ❞ the sword dematerializes into a bundle of sparks as if on CUE. with her hands now free, she was able to clasp them together and the cracks between her hands spilt with the GLOW of green coming from within. after a pause, she unveils a capitulum of a small daisy flower in her palm. she offers it to layla, albeit shyly due to the sudden feeling of INEXPERTISE ❝ it's a very soothing element. ❞ it's likely the monsters she encountered today would beg to differ.
& @lumintaru .
the familiar & soothing ambience of avidya forest threatens to lull her to sleep before long – the chirping of birds and soft rustle of a warm breeze carried through the grass has been the accompanying soundtrack to many an evening spent in the field. she's most at home in the library, truth be told, but the solitude of the forest is comforting .. not taking into account the suspicious scuttling noises of larger creatures moving through the thicket.
layla is too preoccupied waiting for the stars to spill through day – time cloud cover to pay much attention to the surroundings, and so too does a familiar character nearly pass unnoticed – if not for the rustle and clink of a sword returned to its sheath. she doesn't move from her cushioned seat atop the slope, merely cranes her neck around with lips parted in a silent o – ever the vigilant type, this intrepid young scholar.
" oh, lumine! " equal parts delighted exclamation and sigh of relief. anyone would have been preferable to another student, or god forbid – member of faculty, from her darshan, but the fair – haired traveler is particularly welcome company. " have you also come to stargaze? " expecting that she probably hasn't, but who can ever be sure about this one ... " or, uh – your sword .. you weren't in any trouble, were you? "

it seems lumine can never avoid the sound of ren’s laughter for too long ( though she could never quite understand what made her so funny ). ❝ i believe you meant the best travel companion ever? ❞ many aliases of the traveler and paimon often cling closely to them, near impossible to SEPARATE the labels from the pair. she had a name for EACH occasion, ironic considering who she was talking to. he was able to see them past the spews of MISLEADING titles, which made speaking with him as refreshing as a COOL BREEZE ( very prickly, but still A BREATH of fresh air ) even if he never realized it. perhaps it was also thanks to their polar stances in regards to their outlooks in life, there was nothing as straightforward as a reality check from the man himself.
he showed no signs of coming down anytime soon, yet she felt her lips curve into a SMILE unexpectedly. to watch the fall masterfully curated by his bestowed GIFT of anemo filled her with honor and equal parts of relief. at times she worried that he viewed his VISION as worthless, thankfully his gracefulness when wielding the element disproved any of those gnawing fears. she stares at him wide-eyed, questioning if she heard him right. with the way he GLOWERED at her it was hard to tell. a rather informal invitation, but the offer still stood nonetheless. ❝ hm, i guess you're not wrong. but doesn't the same go for you? ❞ a DERISION with more truth to it than mockery. usually it was lumine’s job to keep an eye on ren, and now the favor is being so kindly returned ( even if it sounded more like he was being FORCED to take a dog on a walk ).
any other immature remarks from the traveler withered away at the mention of FOOD, the solution to all of her problems! fresh sumerian fruit was always a TREAT, there were no forests as lush and diverse as here. in no time lumine is right on his heels, ❝ sounds good! is this a place you visit often? ❞
he makes no moves to confirm nor deny the accusation — yet the laughter that spills from his lips ( gone light with AMUSEMENT ) seems to answer in his stead. ❝ what a shame. ❞ the wanderer hums. ❝ guess even sidekicks need a day off from time to time. ❞ ah, but he supposes those saddled with HEROIC obligations aren't nearly so fortunate. surely teyvat would somehow manage to set itself ablaze if lumine happened to sleep in one morning — whether intentionally or otherwise. thankfully ren is bound to no such responsibilities; he guides himself based on a system of simple exchange rather than something so primitive as morality. although, that does give him an idea ...
the wind sings and the wanderer suddenly drops like a stone from his perch. anemo curls around him, turning his descent into something more GRACEFUL — clothing swaying gently in the breeze. he barely makes a sound when his shoes touch the ground below, fingers ghosting across the edge of his kasa to ensure it stays securely in place. ❝ i suppose it can't be HELPED. ❞ ren says aloud — and if nothing else, he certainly has a talent for being so consistently CRYPTIC at every possible turn. ❝ someone needs to be around to hassle you at every turn ... who knows what you might get up to if you're left to your own devices. ❞ standing up straight, he crosses his arms and fixes her with narrowed eyes and furrowed brow. several seconds pass in apparent contemplation, before the wanderer shakes his head and clicks his tongue. ❝ well, if no one else is going to step up, i guess the responsibility falls to me. ❞
spinning on his heel, ren offers no further explanation — merely a lazy wave that suggests she should follow. ❝ still too early for lunch ... but there's a fruit stand not too far from here. ❞ talking about food is certainly one way to play the part.

@daybreakrising asked ⋆ ★ "Ah! Captain of Swordfish II, what brings you back here? Is there something I can help you with - do you want to talk about something?" (from gorou!)
it had been so long since she had been called by that title, which elicited an amused giggle from her. then again, she supposes as ridiculous as the NAME sounds, it is nothing to laugh about. the battles that she fought alongside her fellow soldiers, readily putting their lives on the line to defy the STRIKING LIGHTNING, those memories and emotions were all UNFORGETTABLY RAW. even if the stormy days she spent in inazuma during the vision decree were terribly belligerent, she would do it all over again to save each soul residing here.
redolent features turn warmer with appreciation towards the general, it was not often that the traveler was the one on the receiving end of offering HELP. ❝ if i had seen you any sooner, i would have asked you to help me with the commission i was sent here for. ❞ taking the boat to her next destination after she arrived here so soon seemed like a waste of an opportunity ( her thirst to ADVENTURE was still prevalent on her journey ). ❝ but since i've already finished that ... if you have nothing else planned, why don't you show me how to use a bow, ❞
gorou's use of said weapon on the battlefield was no easy feat, matter of fact it would be lumine's LAST CHOICE in any situation ( unless she had a DEATH WISH ). so it was nothing less than impressive to watch him time his shots, and on top of that, to aim precisely no matter how much PRESSURE was on him. for old time's sake, she added with a grin, ❝ top dog gorou? ❞
