on a summer evening, a gentle breeze.

"my name is yuhua. it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

name: yuhua

age: unknown; likely over 500

element: wind

path: abundance

gender & pronuns: male; he/him

sexuality: bi demisexual demiromantic; though pursuing relationships was never one of his goals

affiliation: lotus pharmacy, xianzhou luofu

to most luofu residents, yuhua is only one xianzhou native of many.

most likely a xianzhou native, that is - if one were to start thinking about it, they would perhaps realize that they aren't quite sure if that is really the case, if they really know where he came from - but he has always been around, so surely, he is one of them; he simply hasn't shown any sign of mara yet... thankfully so; as those who ever sought his help all agree that he deserves respect for both his knowledge and skills as well as healing abilities.

yuhua himself, however, is reluctant to accept praise; he dislikes drawing attention to himself, he doesn't want to be treated like he's all-powerful; these aren't miracles that heal his patients, it's his medicine and abilities. his goal has always been this - helping others this way; never seeking fame. he is content with the way his life looks now - running a small pharmacy, growing his own herbs in the backyard garden, healing.

oftentimes, people, in particular his patients, describe yuhua as having a soothing aura around himself - he knows what he's doing, and he's doing it with utmost confidence. he is also patient - and most had never seen him get angry, nor heard him raise his voice, regardless of how... tiring certain customers are.

there is one thing, however, that is sure to spark his anger - cold like ice and piercing - and it is the suffering of the innocent. the apprentice he recently took on, can likely say one or two things about it, but... they'd rather not. it is clear to everyone interested, though, that under his care and guidance they seem to bloom.

as the one who currently spends the most time with him, too, they're more likely than others to notice that there seems to be something just slightly off about yuhua when he reaches for his powers-

but surely, that's just a trick of the light.

"good morning! how can i help you today?"

i want to stargaze with you again.

word count: 387

content warnings: implied death/loss

summary: N/A

author's notes: here goes emile again 🫶 for a tiny bit of context, eden is their home planet, mieszko is their friend from that planet and tbh! their lore is sad they don't deserve it but erm. main oc privileges :3

“Do you miss Eden?”

They're both lying down on a blanket, up on the hill near the home they're living in for now, looking at the night sky, and Mieszko is the first to break the silence. Emile looks at him with some disbelief, because - come on, he should know the answer, should he not? But before they can reply with some snappy remark they realize that maybe they themself were wrong, and the answer isn't as obvious as they initially assumed.

They shrug their shoulders slightly when they speak.

“I don't know,” they admit, and their voice is quiet. “I miss the stars there.” They add, after a moment of silence, and it's true. They're glad they don't have to worry about zombies anymore, they like the peaceful atmosphere of this world, but the constellations they see above right now are unfamiliar, and it makes them feel out of place.

“Me too.” Mieszko says with a quiet laugh. They don't have to look at his face to know that he's smiling.

They wait for a moment to see if he wants to add anything else, but he's quiet, so they go on.

“It's like—” They raise their hand, pointing at the sky. “All these stars— they're like strangers to me. I don't know their names, I don't know what constellations they're parts of, and it's so… I don't know. I feel like a stranger here, too. I mean I know I am, just…” they pause, then sigh quietly. “It's probably stupid anyway.”

“It's not.” As always, Mieszko is quick to reassure them. “To be completely honest, I kinda get it.”

They almost, almost laugh at these words, because really, him? No matter where the two of them go, he seems to have been there forever, instantly finding his place in the new environment, unlike them… But laughing would be a bit mean, and they're not really in the mood for teasing, so they hold back and let him continue. “But hey, that just means we'll have to learn all of that together, right?”

They nod, smiling.

“Yeah.”

They close their eyes and when they open them again the scene has disappeared.

They're sitting on a sofa in the Astral Express's parlor car, looking outside the window, and they miss him so much that it physically hurts.

a flame so bright.

"hm? oh, hey. name's emile. nice to meet you."

name: emile

age: 19

element: fire

path: destruction? welt's note: wrong guess. they don't follow any aeons.

gender & pronouns: non-binary; they/them

sexuality: asexual demiromantic

affiliation: astral express

the newest member of the astral express's crew; a young person who, after a series of events, decided to travel with them, though they don't worship nor follow any aeons on their own, including akivili. easy to anger and - in most cases - just as quick to forgive, emile took on the role of the train's mechanic, hoping to make use of their non-combat skills due to their rather poor health. they suffer from a condition caused by the stellaron, which causes them to experience frequent fevers, body pains and nausea. despite that, they don't lack enthusiasm and eagerness to do things, much to the other crew members' dismay as it often leads to emile overworking themself.

emile is a person who feels a lot, and feels intensely, not giving much thought to their words or actions when they're under the influence of strong emotions. similarly, they wouldn't hesitate to throw their life on the line when it comes to protecting those they consider friends or family. in battle, they often go all-in, to the point of overusing their fire-controlling abilities and exhausting their body.

once distrustful and extremely cautious about each stranger they met, after spending some time on the astral express emile seems to have changed, starting to become much more extroverted in contacts with new people, though still with a healthy dose of caution. as open as they are about certain topics, they're closed off about others, and no amount of prying will make them talk about these particular things. they are also used to 'powering through' any hardships they may encounter, and so, they attempt to brush off and/or bottle up anything that's troubling them.

welt's note: they seem to feel at home here. i'm glad to see that.

"oh, hey, it's you! wanna hang out today?"
