Imagine if Khaenri'ahn tears could solidify into crystals,,,
#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//y'know like the folklore that mermaid tears turn into like#//Sea glass or smth#//Imagine if for Khaenri'ahns it was like#//Quartz or diamond#//Or even depending on the dynasty; smth like rubies or sapphires#//Idk; thinkings thinkings#//Now I have images of bby!Kae just like#//Learning how to cry on command bc he and his father could use the gems to get food and shelter to survive#//Him carrying that habit and making himself cry so he could offer them to Crepus so he would let him stay#//Confusing the poor man and Kae himself getting scared when the man refuses; even going as far as to reveal the trick to it when Crepus#keeps refusing to take the gems and demands to know where they are from (thinking he needs to return them); so Kae gets stressed enough to#cry and SHOW him where he got those gems from; whether he wanted to or not#//Crepus immediately reassuring him he never has to 'pay' for his place in the family; to NEVER tell anyone about this; for his own safety#//Luc only ever first finding out Kae is capable of this the day of their Confrontation#//When amidst ice and rain; gemstones scatter around Kae as he screams and curses the gods for giving him a Vision#//Kae using the gemstones as a little incentive for his contacts; brushing the sudden presence of gems as if it's all a magic trick#//Or in such cases if he was captured and already got shaken down for anything he could use#//Maybe revealing himself as the source of the gems to buy himself time; resolving to kill every last one to keep that secret one he's free#//Or just tearing up a little out of sight so he could bribe the guards into approaching him before strangling them with his bonds or smth#//Or nabbing them with his Abyssal abilities#//I do like this v much#//Now what would that say abt someone like Albedo?#//Would his tears be like. Amber or topzes? Or maybe by contrast; as an artifical being; he cries liquid gold?#//Cannot cry at ALL#//More thinkings to ponder...#//Okay; adding an extra tidbit: Kae would ABSOLUTELY make a ring to propose to someone with his own tears as the stone
