" come, " she whispers, gesturing her brother over so that she could assist him in his braid : watching him struggle was . . it reminded the princess of better times , of times where they weren't apart from one another on what felt like different ends of a sea. " let me help " \ abyss ! lumine | @poswiecenia

Ever since waking up in that field strewn with dandelions, most of his dreams have been listless and void of imagination. The Traveler began to avoid sleep to the point of its lack being detrimental, but he found no solace in such vulnerability without reward — for what point is there of a dreamless sleep, only to wake back up to a bleak reality?

Yet there were a few times where darkness didn't plague him upon closing his eyes, yet only the natural dreams yielded the most pleasant results: fond memories of a better time, when his travels were accompanied by his dear sister and the only hardship they faced was from outside forces.

Those were the nights he wished he didn't have to wake up when dawn arrived. Only during these bouts of sleep could he truly cherish fragments of the past without interruption — even with the knowledge of upcoming heartache once his eyes open again.

With nothing more than a soft smile, Aether joins his sister, turning his back to her in order to give better access to his hair; it's been quite some time since his long braid was crafted neatly, no matter often he's had to fix it himself, Lumine's expert hands were far better than his own.

For a fair while, the pair remains silent as the ambience of their surroundings immerse them, until finally in a quiet tone —

"Sorry, it's so messy."

           𝐀𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐀  𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒  𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓  𝐇𝐈𝐌.  She's  always  known  that  one  day  the  Ring  of  Lucii  would  pass  onto  him  and  though,  at  the  time,  she  had  little  understanding  of  its  power  and  what  it  did  to  those  who  wore  it  —  she  sees  it  now.  She  sees  it  in  the  way  his  hair  has  become  rapidly  more  silver  over  the  years;  the  lines  in  his  face  and  around  his  eyes  are  not  the  laugh  lines  of  a  joyous  existence,  but  one  of  responsibility,  hardship,  and  sacrifice.  That  ring  has  aged  him  more  than  life  itself  has.

            He  sacrifices  too  much,  she  thinks.  If  the  Ring  is  to  take  all  from  him  in  the  end,  then  it  is  too  high  a  price  to  contend  with.  Gods,  she  wishes  she  had  the  power  to  do  more  than  just  pray  and  plead  to  the  Astrals.

           Do  they  even  listen  anymore?

            ❝   I  should  think  a  ghost  would  be  quieter,   ❞  she  jests;  an  attempt  at  levity.  ❝   These  halls  echo,  you  know.  I  could  hear  you  and  Clarus  getting  quite  heated.  What  happened?   ❞

            As  always,  Aulea  seeks  to  fix  things  when  they  are  amiss;  to  mend  what  begs  to  break.  If  she  can  alleviate  even  a  fraction  of  her  husband's  stress,  then  she  is  doing  her  part.  Her  concerned  expression  softens  into  something  more  affectionate  as  he  brings  her  hand  to  his  lips.

            ❝   Talk  to  me.   ❞

. kaeya alberich has joined the adventurer's guild !

# OCELBERICH ━━━ private, roleplay blog for kaeya alberich of genshin impact; interpreted & loved by barely ( any pronouns ); affiliated with gnostic hymns.

portrayal notes.

as stated in the handbook, i prefer to use the chinese dub for kaeya's characterization though i will likely compare it to english & japanese dubs for nuance. though i play the game in english, my preference differs.

a slightly major difference, to me, between the dubs is that, unlike in the english & japanese versions, kaeya sounds more similar to a teasing, older brother figure that you know nothing of, rather than the handsome mysterious companion that i'm familiar with as an english-player. ( though this isn't to say that he isn't a handsome mysterious companion of ours. it's simply a matter of how heavy one mood is compared to the other. ) his inflection is different between performances, of course, but i rather enjoy the tone SUN YE chose to use in his. thus, my kaeya will be written with such.

last canon appearance is, correct me if i'm wrong: version 3.8, secret summer paradise, thus he will be written as of then!

though i keep a document on all muse-related dialogue & information that is constantly updating, i have yet to fully make my document relating to khaenri'ah. so, if you see me yapping incorrectly and want to politely vibe check me, please do! i welcome all vibe checks.

though kaeya's application was written exactly one month ago, i did not expect to write him and, thus, am a bit shy about how i may portray him. this is simply to say that, yes, i will make mistakes, so please be patient with me.

patience, too, comes with shipping. while kaeya is friendly, his ability to recognize certain bonds as real will come late and in due time as a result of his distrust in the world & and himself. while i'm open to shipping romantically, i'll be leaving that to ooc discussions before anything is incorporated on the dash. likewise, my headcanon of kaeya being demiromantic will swiftly be realized, as romance is a wary concept to him.

for now, that's all! thank you for reading and i hope to write with you in the near future 💕

            But  before  that,  she  pulls  out  a  photograph  and  slides  it  across  the  table.

            ❝   Before  we  speak  of  deals,  I  would  like  you  to  answer  a  question.  Do  you  recognise  this  man?  This  was  taken  from  a  security  camera  and  the  N109  zone  was  his  last  known  location.  My  sources  tell  me  he  is  a  colleague  of  yours.   ❞  Good.  Her  voice  is  steady,  straight-forward.

            Corinne  does  not  elaborate  further  on  the  man's  identity.  Having  discovered  only  recently  of  her  father's  dealings  in  the  N109  zone  amidst  his  disappearance,  she  is  certain  he  never  brought  up  his  family.  The  lack  of  any  sort  of  ransom  sent  to  them  for  his  return  is  testament  enough  to  that.  At  least,  she  hopes.

ㅤㅤthe coin resting on his thumb is sent twirling in the air before returning to his hold and then being sent up again, ruby gaze watching it and accompanied by a bored expression on his face. ❛ the n109 zone is no place for a lost kitten, ❜ he comments, tone dry. catching the coin, there's a pause before he speaks again, this time looking directly at @rosewiltd. ❛ unless you're here in hopes of making a deal ⸻ in which case, i expect you to have something of value to offer. ❜

truth to little sun's wandering gaze, wriothesley had deshelled the crab with ease! like, a lot of ease! and he seemed completely tame with the idea of breaking open the other piles of bright red, fresh crabs threatening to slide from their perch behind them. her eyes widened, wonder shining impossibly bright within scarlet irises as she shook her hands; to rid herself of the excitement trembling her body. mama taught her that trick! besides, if she hadn't shook her hands, then she'd probably start shaking and bouncing her knees, which would shake the table and cause a scene and who knows if all of wriothesley's hard work would be━━

"oh, thank you, thank you!" klee interrupted her train of thought, smiling up at the man as he rose from his seat to grab a full bowl. her gratitude blossomed fruitfully into pride at the drop of a title; boss, which was what master jean was, which made klee as much of a good person as her! but she had not voiced this, since she still wasn't sure if jean had come to the lantern rite and she learned, long ago, that some whispers about her were carried through the wind . . . somehow.

and, when wriothesley came back, the spark knight had no worries with tilting the small bowl of crab meat and digging her fingers into it to pinch small cuts into her mouth. at the pace wriothesley's cracking these things, she'd be able to chow and refill within moments! how great was that!

scarlet met cerulean; spark knight's smile seemingly managed to brighten despite its natural brilliance. "klee came with big brother albedo! master jean couldn't make it and mama is away with papa on a faraway, very secret, advent━━oh . . . if it's secret, klee shouldn't mention it. but klee forgot if it's actually a secret so,"

a pause for her to nibble on another tear of crab meat. it was then that she realized that wriothesley had asked a question she hadn't answered! quickly, she added, "oh, klee can share with . . . hmm, i actually don't know who to eat this with." but, of course, though her gaze fell to the table in a moment of contemplation, it immediately rose back to wriothesley after seconds. "well, do you like crabs? if so, klee can share with you! i don't think big brother albedo really likes or doesn't like crabs and you're the closest friend so you're the next best option!"

or rather, anyone in liyue was, for that matter! whoever liked crabs could eat with them! but klee wasn't very kind to the idea of announcing that openly in the restaurant, especially since the vendors might hear her. besides, wriothesley ought to be hungry, sitting here cracking crabs, right?

hm. about that. "how do you deshell them so quickly? every time klee tries, mama or lumine always end up having to help her."

AS EXPECTED OF THE QUEEN'S BENEVOLENCE, she smiles; obstinate and graceful despite the mage dragon's provocation. sangria eyes fall to lumera's hands, then hips, under the presumption of a guard, in which the queen has none. it is a fool's dance; an open chance to lunge and finish off what had already been forgotten. but now, if ever, is not the right time. and lumera, as kind as she is regal, surely knows such. thus, zephia simply entertains the thought with a hum, keeping her distance despite the invitation. after all, her hoard is not within lumera's clutches.

each and every one of her carefully directed taunts do not find their target. and, though the failure should ignite a fire in her chest, zephia cannot help but smile harder, delighted at the opportunity to push further against the queen's defenses. enough looming will urge any beast to take the bite, even if this beast takes the form of a warm mother.

"a promise?" there is bitterness in the word, yet such hatred is not reflected in the softened smile of this mage dragon. she moves her hands to her stomach, over the fabric of priestess garbs, and she continues as if taken by a sudden interest, "oh how fun! what a mother you truly are. amuse me; was the promise made to your children?"

if there is a reward at the closed curtains of this performance, then zephia will play her character with heart.

the lift of the queen's hand combats the mage dragon's hostility, yet she answers after a fit of laughter, not at all irritated by the passiveness, "is it not common to greet a familiar face? though i must confess to only knowing of you in passing. thousands of years are always keen in blurring memories, as one like yourself would understand. unfortunate, i know. we could have been acquainted better if i had been the one to fell you." but no matter! an offer is an offer before it is a threat of luck; this dragon sinks her teeth into the chance while it is still moving. "then walk with me, your majesty. yes, there is plenty for us to discuss━━━to do, even."

zephia stepped away from the door, further into the classroom though she made no move closer. a beckoning tilt of her head, golden jewelry clinking together from where they hang from her ears and crescent horns. "after you. ah, unless you would prefer to follow in my steps. i have no qualms with giving you a tour of your new home."

experience had taught this little sun when to dim and brighten, and those instances were usually like the present; klee wandering a tad too far, into an area a tad too strange, and surrounding herself with people that were a tad too different. but different was hardly the same word as interesting! yeah, that would be a better attribute to link the busy people of this team to!

wherever she walked, something greater than before managed to impress her. from flowy dresses and plumed hats to kameras with wider gears and suitcases that carried more than they should, nothing here seemed to be ordinary. especially not the lady of the hour ( if klee had to guess, since everyone’s eyes fell to her each time she walked through the area, which she couldn’t blame, for her gaze committed the same instinct to memory ), in all of her glory. and she was soooo pretty that klee couldn’t stop herself from watching her as she spoke to the other members of the team. 

not even when little sun’s foot caught on something and nearly sent her tripping over herself, arms flailing at her sides and rucksack weighing her down in the stumble. she shouted, of course, and just like that, her cover had been blown! though, now that she thought about it, multiple people had been watching her as she ooh’ed and aw’ed for the last couple of minutes.

“sorry! sorry! you all can continue your work, klee hadn’t meant to━━” klee’s defensive gesturing froze when she rose her head to meet the gaze of the very same, pretty lady from before. she blinked, multiple times, and only after a brief silence, smiled brightly up to her. “hello there, ma’am! klee hadn’t meant to make a mess. she just happened to wander into your… uhm, what is this place?”
