☽       *    ●    .    ☾       ―     The  General  Mahamatra  has  a  rest  day  and  he  spends  it  camping  with  Collei  in  the  forest.  It  was  planned  knowing  Tighnari  would  be  in  Port  Ormos  during  the  flower  festival  as  a  chance  for  the  two  of  them  to  deepen  their  bond  and  spend  time  together. 

However,  without  the  charismatic  forest  ranger  around,  there  are  moments  of  awkward  silences  between  two  introverts  and  Cyno  does  not  want  this  entire  trip  to  prove  he  cannot  spend  time  with  Collei  without  Tighnari's  help.  She  may  be  Tighnari's  student,  but  to  Cyno,  she  is  …  dearly  important  to  their  academic  family. 

“Shall  we  go  fishing?”  Cyno  offers  once  their  campsite  has  been  made. 

The  riverbank  is  not  far  from  their  camp  and  once  they're  sitting  with  poles  in  hand,  waiting  for  the  fish  to  bite  at  the  line  bait,  Cyno  looks  to  Collei  and  faintly  smiles. 

“Do  you  remember  the  day  I  brought  you  to  Sumeru?  You  were  smaller  then.  Now  you've  all  grown  .  .  .  have  you  been  eating  Tighnari's  fertilizer?”

☽     *   ●   .   ☾     ―    The  general  mahamatra's  hands  strike  like  lightening  in  delivering  final  judgement.  They  are  confident  and  fierce  in  drawing  TCG  cards  and  playing  combos.  There  is  divine  power  coursing  through  Cyno's  veins,  where  claws  of  an  ancient  spirit  are  ready  to  strike  just  at  his  fingertips …  and  his  hands  gently  stroke  a  line  of  kohl  under  Al-Haytham's  bottom  eyelid  in  a  delicate  and  steady  motion. 

“I'm  glad  you  two  have  mended  your  bond  and  are  working  together  again.” 

Sitting  in  the  scribe's  lap,  Cyno  pulls  back  and  slightly  turns  Al-Haytham's  chin  to  see  the  perfection  of  his  work.  Cyno  smiles  slightly  before  dipping  the  metal  rod  in  the  jar  and  reapplying  the  pigment. 

“It  would  be  nice  to  see  you  and  Kaveh  work  together  again  on  another  thesis,  not  as  senior  and  junior,  but  as  colleagues.”

☽     *   ●   .   ☾     ―   Cyno  spins  his  polearm  in  his  right  hand  and  steps  around  Hat  Guy,  circling  the  scholar   like  a  predator  who has cornered  their  prey.  There  is  no  animosity  or  threatening  aura  about  the  general  mahamatra  in  this  moment,  at  least,  it's  not  as  potent  as  he  would be if  he  cornered  a  wanted  criminal.  There  is,  however,  a  debt  that  is  owed. 

“A  rematch." 

Cyno  stops  short  in  front  of  Hat  Guy  and  he  lifts  his  polearm,  pointing  it  at  the  Akademiya's  newest  scholar.  The scholar favored by the Dendro Archon   managed  to  hold  his  own  against  the  general  mahamatra  at  the  Inter-Darshan  last  year  and  still,  Cyno  is  looking  to  even  the  score.  He  lowers  his  polearm and jabs  the  end  of  it  into  the  ground,  the  air  thickening  about  them. 

“A  duel.”

☽     *   ●   .   ☾     ―    Cyno  nods  his  head,  his  hand  holding  his  chin  in  acknowledging  Mehrak's  continuous  stream  of  beeps  and  motions.  The  modified  toolbox's  eyes  seem  to  gesture  contently  and  with merriment  and  Cyno  believes  he  understand  it  in  turn;  the  pair  having  a  conversation  while  waiting  for  Kaveh. 

“Yes,  and  then  I  said―Ah,  Kaveh,  you're  back.”  Cyno  turns  to  the  architect  when  he  returns.  “When  did  you  upgrade  Mehrak's  communication  features?  It  seems  to  understand  me  and  my  jokes  now.”

☽     *   ●   .   ☾     ―    “I  don't  know  how  you  manage  to  survive  traveling  on  your  own  with  just  your  lyre,  but  it  was  good  fortune  I  found  you  in  time  and  saved  you.” 

Cyno  is  no  healer,  but  he  knows  a  thing  or  two  from  Tighnari  and  his  own  experiences  from  traversing  the  desert.  He  knows  basic  first  aid  and  knows  how  to  care  for  minor  wounds.  However,  the  general  mahamatra  hasn't  the  hands  of  a  healer  either  and  roughly  presses  the  bandaid  into  Venti's  cheek. 

“There.  All  set.”  Cyno  then  pulls  from  his  traveling  pouch  a  small  apple  to  gift  Venti,  should  there be any  wounds  to  the  bard's  pride  or  heart. 

“You  know  what  they  say,  an  apple  a  day  keeps  the  lawachurls  away.”

"What's the one thing you've always wanted to do but haven't had the courage to try?"

"Why are you always pushing me away when all I want to do is help?"

"I never thought I'd see you here."

"We used to be so close. What happened to us?"

"Sometimes, I feel like I'm living someone else's life."

"Is it too late to start over?"

"I thought I'd lost you forever."

"The clock struck midnight, and with it, my life took an unexpected turn."

"The dusty, forgotten diary I found in the attic held secrets I never could have imagined."

"I can't believe you said that to them. Do you realize the impact of your words?"

"What do you want from me, after all this time?"

"You were always the one who got away."

"Why did you come back?"

"I've been keeping something from you, and I don't know how to tell you."

"Remember when we used to dream about the future together? What happened to those dreams?"

"You're not the person I thought you were."

"I thought I was doing the right thing, but now I'm not so sure."

"It's never too late to change, you know."

"Let's make a pact: no matter what happens, we'll always find our way back to each other."

"I've been searching for you my whole life, and now that I've found you, I don't know what to say."

"Why did you do it? Why did you betray us?"

"I never thought I'd see the day when you'd come back."

"You've changed so much since the last time I saw you."

"We used to be best friends. What happened between us?"

"I have a secret, and I need your help to keep it."

"Do you believe in second chances?"

"If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?"

"I never thought I'd miss something so ordinary until it was gone."

"You were always the one who understood me, even when I couldn't understand myself."

"I can't keep pretending that everything is fine."

"Life has a funny way of bringing people back together, doesn't it?"

"I thought I knew who I was until I met you."

"What's the worst mistake you've ever made, and did you ever make amends for it?"

"We're in this together, no matter what."

"You're the only one who knows the real me."

"I never thought I'd say this, but I need your advice."

"Why do you always push people away when they try to get close to you?"

"Sometimes, the hardest part is forgiving yourself."

"No matter where life takes us, I hope we'll always have this moment."
