I have so many thoughts on Fischl. I view her as so very vulnerable and afraid, attempting to hide behind this character she portrays so she cannot get hurt. She knows it's weird, but Amy can't like herself without Fischl to make up for the parts of her that she believes are lacking. Fischl can take the backlash. She's strong, accomplished, special. Amy is none of these things, at least not in her own eyes.

She's just a kid in need to support and acceptance. I love her so much.

Fischl’s eyes light up (setting aside the fact that one of them remains covered). She’d been…tentatively hopeful that the other would accept her invitation, but past dismissals - the sheer number of them - make anxiety well up in her chest whenever she attempts it anew.

A shrill laugh leaves her, one hand rising to artfully accentuate the movement of her shoulders. “Only my most trusted vassals reserve the honor of sharing in the Prinzessin’s presence! Thou art among them, having earned her approval with deeds of grandeur whenst traversing the dominion of the gold-enshrouded beast! The quest which hath guided my steps proofed fruitful, yet the Prinzessin’s knight performed beautifully to hasten the fated emergence of the Goblet of Eons!”

( “Mein Fräulein expresses her appreciation and thanks you for providing aid in the retrieval of the commissioned item. It greatly sped up our efforts.” )

Perhaps it goes to be unsaid, but Tetsuya awaits for the raven to translate. This is all too reminiscent to when he first encountered this strange eye patched girl in Liyue oh some time ago now, times lost in Irminsul if only in memory. Apparently she's one of the Adventurer's Guild finest adventurers and Tetsuya ended up working on the same commission she was. The rest is history, as some would say. "Right." He responds, with a nod of his head.

"Uh... thank you Prinzessin for thou's um," ugh this is ridiculous, "hospitality and generosity." He recalls Mona advising him to play along... or try to anyway and to give her a chance. He may as well try. "One is too kind."

A clearing of the throat preceeds her announcement, directed at all who she deems dear to her heart and soul. "Behold!" She proclaims. "The Prinzessin hath arrived at the luxurious dwellings of her estate and welcomes thee to step upon its grounds bar your reverence be conveyed in full. Rejoice, my subjects! A feast of grandeur awaits consumption to your utmost delight and shall be accompanied by delectable Evernachts-Trunk der Erheiterung!" She practically gleams, arms akimbo as she awaits the (hopefully, she wishes for it dearly) incoming agreement.

Oz' voice soon follows her own. "Mein Fräulein thus invites you to a joint meal and drink, so you may all enjoy one another's company. Grape juice, of course, being the drink of choice. We would much appreciate your attendance."

ICARUS

what is there to be said of icarus? you were warned, yet you persisted, imprudently. but what of your first taste of liberation? the exhilaration that follows the first ray of the sun to touch you as you are, as a free man, makes you drunk on joy. we all know the foolish things that drunken people are capable of. was the fall as thrilling as the flight?

Excerpt from Träumerei by Theodor Strom (rough translation by me)

Und wie das Dunkel so die Welt umschleiert, Erblüht im Geiste eine neue Welt; Die Blume, die der Abend eingeschläfert, Die goldne Frucht, der Blume hohes Zelt Erschaut das trunkne Aug mit einem Male In milder Sonnen purpurlichtem Strahle.

( And as the dark envelopes the earth just so, A new world blossoms in thought; The flower which the evening lulled to sleep, The golden fruit, the flower's large tent Are spied by the drunken eye all at once In the gentle sun's purple-colored ray. )
