Her journey through Mondstat and Liyue had come up fruitless. But with the opening of Inazuma and a few people in the ports of Liyue hearing rumor of fox people similar to her and her father’s description, she had a lead and would be heading there next.

While getting there was not so much of an issue. It was when she got there that she had a difficult time. As she was going through customs, some of the folks working with her found it awful suspicious that she only had one bag and it primarily just held a single teapot. A common question she had by many.

“As I said before.” She explained for the 10’th time to the guard working with her “I’m a simple drifter with only this teapot to my family’s name. I only come here seeking answers for myself and nothing more.” At this point, she was getting rather annoyed that they’d rather be on her for something mildly odd then use this time to actually help people.

@petitexmagician continued from [X]

He wasn't one to back down from a challenge - after all it's been drilled into him from an early age that he should never back down as long as the chance of winning remains, but Archons had mercy he was about to die from the heat that was rushing to flood his cheeks currently. He tried to keep his gaze locked on the girl across from him, but his gaze instead kept drifting towards the stick - and how little remained as a barrier between them.

This was how he was going to perish - over a silly game like this, another small nibble taken, now close enough he could feel her warm breath. He wasn't going to live to see tomorrow was he?

━━   ❝   𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.   ❞  Trunks spoke up with a smile on his face, it was always a pleasure meeting up with Elise. This time the area was Inazuma, and she had caught him in the middle of actually leaving the country. “Would you like to come with me? Although we’ll have to fly to Liyue this time around.” It was a little favor he is currently doing for a rather elderly woman.

“So how about it? Are you interested?” There’s a smile on his face as he asked the question. His feet continued to propel him forward through the village’s outskirts until he was far enough from the little village which would enable him to fly.

Yusuke stood in the snow shirtless and concentrating. Using the heat of his own static generated around his body to keep him warm.  ❝   𝐎𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐞.  ❞  He spoke turning to face her. “Was I out here too long? Are ya hungry?”

“Contractor. You haven’t done anything yet. Why are you lying around?”

“I’m sun bathing. It’s in the contract. Plus. I built a fence.”

“That’s a single piece of wood sticking out of the ground. Not a fence.”

“You’re killing me here. It’s called a work in progress. Plus, you guys haven’t paid me yet. So if you won’t mind. I’m gonna continue bathing. In the sun. Unbothered.”

𝐎𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭. But from his point of view the woman hardly took any breaks in between her training, whenever he WOULD visit Teyvat on and off she was either training or going out defeating mobs of monsters like some Berserker in an RPG, she was just 𝚞𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 like that. However, that only worries him all the more because he’s afraid she’s just not taking as much breaks as her body would need in order to cultivate her strength properly.

He’d actually never tell her that because this is who she is, a woman who simply wanted to be better than the person she was the day before and that itself was endearing and awfully 𝐡𝐨𝐭 if he was honest with himself. “Just don’t forget to find some time to unwind, resting your muscles is just as important as working out.” The Trailblazer could only hope she would heed what he had to say and prioritize resting as we- 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐘??

Him massage her?!? HIM?! Caelus fought EVERY fiber in his body from saying the words ‘yes goddess’ out loud even though he is anything from a professional masseuse..though he probably still could perform a decent job. “Huu-” CRAP his voice sounded too…weak..quickly the trailblazer clears his throat and adopts a rather calm posture with both his arms at his side. “I mean, that’d work if you’d really want me to.”

“I’ll be right back.” He told Sera before he takes into the sky within a burst of energy, and within not more than ten minutes he returns from the air carrying a massive pine tree over his shoulder. The tree itself was probably 20meter in length. “Here we go, if the holiday’s anything like mine then we have to decorate this tree. I figured we can do it in public and hopefully everyone will pitch in. They deserve a good holiday after that whole deal with their Shogun..I heard it wasn’t exactly pretty.”

Think about himself some more? But why? He looked a little confused but it generally seemed as though he was trying to understand what his sister was saying. If their father wasn't around, what would he be doing? It wasn't as though he didn't enjoy his studies or anything - alchemy was rather interesting, but even that was a field of study simply taken up to help with his fight against the Abyss. "...I'm trying", he finally sighed out, glancing up towards the calm skies above Mondstadt, "I really am...it may not look like that...but I also need to keep myself busy...especially these days", he laid a hand against the side of his head, "Now that I have a vision, it seems father can no longer seal away the abyss part of me...though to be honest, maybe that's a good thing in it's own way? I donno...things are changing...even I'm changing...so..." Maybe he just wanted to cling to things that he did know what to do - like fuss over everyone around him...

"Eiji.", her voice held a warning tone, her eyes narrowed as soon as she looked at him. Seriously, how much concern could one person have about another? She wished she could hit the back of his head with some large book - maybe it would bring some sense into the thick skull of his!

"You're free to worry, but you have to learn to think about yourself more. Be a bit more selfish. What do you fear if you do so? Our father who's never there anyway doing knows the abyss what?", perhaps, she should try to understand those two a tad more - after all, she didn't know what exactly they have went through. She clapped her hands together aggressively, unsure where else to let it out.

Did this man hear himself?! They were twins, how could they be that different?! Well, they had different upcomings, that surely was the main reason, "By the abyss, Eiji! I won't get her into trouble, but I ran away from them, so you're not going to take the blame on yourself. That's just fucking unnecessary.".

Cont. from here:

Angel felt her lips curl into a small pout. Surely he was joking right? But then again… he was a kitsune, maybe he was gifted all sorts of powers she herself would never know. Perhaps that included cosmetic.

With a sigh of defeat and droop of her ears, Angel figured she’d catch him eventually if he did have some secret care routine. But for now, she excepted defeat.

“Alright, you win.” She said in a low almost pitifully sad tone. “I just hoped my ears and tail would be just as soft and fluffy as yours. But maybe I just don’t have the special touch.”

"Oii Eiji!" The brunette looked at the ginger with a grin as she tilted her head to look at him. "You took care of my body when your sis was in it right? I dunno how she managed to get out of my familiar and assistant's watch when that was happenin' but thank you seriously!"

Random Asks - Always Welcomed ~

He'd been standing near the crafting bench studying the notes that he held in one hand and the results that were currently displayed on the table before him, a slight frown showing as the results didn't seem to match up at all - maybe he was a little more tired than he thought? He sighed, reading over the notes once more, head shaking as he realised his mistake, pulling out a flask to pour away the strange substance to be disposed of later. He was going to get someone killed at this rate. Hiding a yawn, he glanced up as he heard his name being called, a sleepy smile forming as he saw Zola, "Hmm, I came to check in on you and well...you know the rest...Taru didn't even tell me what was happening at first...I was rather confused", he sighed, tucking away his supplies safely, "And how have things been? Any side effects or anything?".

“How else was I going to get you lot to trust..that I came in peace.” At the very least he managed to clean up the sentence quite well, making it flow naturally from his lips into the air between them all the while wearing his signature smile. The smile of a humble merchant, granted because of his strengthening bond with Sera, Roy knew more than most regarding the man ho seemed to be not of this world. 

“I just wished you didn’t hit so hard. It took me more than three barrels of wine to numb that pain.” Spoke the merchant with a rather pouty expression on his face, as though he was hurt, STILL hurting whilst it was probably just a guise to garner little pity and express little weakness and vulnerability. “I will say if we ever came to a competition in the art of fishing, then I’ll have you beat by a landslide. I might be an amateur fighter but I’m no stranger to the beasts of the sea.”

And with that he had left, careful with every step he made. ONE with the WIND as he dashes through the wilderness, the fowl he had heard just ahead of him. His katana materializes at his side and once he was near enough the sword had been grabbed, ‘removed from its sheathe’ and collides into the bird with its sharp edge. With one swing of his sword it fell onto the ground and the same had been said about another close by. Thinking about it, perhaps it was better to feast on fowl meat rather than pork, he could only imagine his petite darling feasting but on a single bird rather than an entire boar.

His hand catching a rogue leaf that glides within the wind’s pull and plays a gentle tune as he continues playing that gentle tune. It took him quite some time but finally, he had returned to camp with the birds bound together and placed over his shoulder.

The feather like touch to her head caused her to look back at Kazuha with a curious blink over him moving closer to her, eyes widen a mere inch over their foreheads touching. Green hues meeting a warmth red - clear adoration in his gaze, it left her closing her eyes with a smile and a pink tint to her cheeks at the forehead kiss.

Opening her eyes again, the magi bowed with a juicer in her left hand. "A trick maybe, but rest assured what'll do won't be done with magic." Her attention then shifted to the juicer with a small frown as she cut the bulle fruit in half as a start while it was in the air.

[thuganomxcs]

“Mon..what exactly?” The fontainian lingo was definitely something he had to get used to, but it seems maybe Inazuman accents were things that she needed work with too considering she wanted him to repeat his question that was spoken to her. “My bad, didn’t think they’re would’ve been miscommunication ‘tween us. The name’s Urameshi Yusuke and I was hopin’ you’d show me around town..or more specifically a place t’ eat.”

Spoke Yusuke with a smile and tuck his hands into his pockets. “So princess, help me out? I even have a few mora if ya wanna grab a little snack yerself.” Thanks to the commissions here and there, but OH he needed to handle a few more soon, but they were REALLY not keen on giving visionless adventurers any of the harder commissions.

[ STEADY ]: the sender rests a hand on the shaken and panicked receiver's shoulder to steady and ground them. (Yuuki to Mei

Breathless, the bodies of many Fatuui agents litter the area around her, some frozen to fragile ice, some killed with ice daggers still inside of them, slowly melting away. They had just kept coming, why? What was it about her that had attracted that many? Were they just nearby or was she just unlucky? Either way, it had taken everything out of Mei.

Her mask glowing a feint red as it desperately tried to feed hot air into her lungs and keep her growing freezing body warm. Her skin was starting to turn a dull blue and above her head a blue halo beginning to disappear. She had used everything... Everything.

Killing was never their objective, just get in, dodge, flee. But there was no fleeing this time and as a result her body writhed and shook. Even when she felt the warm palm of Yuuki's on her she turned and struggled to keep her guard up, to strike... She realized who it was and stopped.

Mei knew what she was, a killing machine, a monster, she was made for it and here one would be able to see it fully on display. The aftermath of a warzone with ice pillars and spikes slowly melting to nothing.

When she saw the green of Yuuki's eyes, she immediately felt... Safe. That's when she hugged her, a desperate need to hold onto her friend as she tried so hard to calm down.

"T-T-They just... Wouldn't... Stop... Coming..."

[peoplcshope]

“It looks like we made it just in time.” Trunks spoke under his breath to spot there were still people up ahead as the frigid winds blows. Brrr, he remembered hearing about people not liking Dragonspine and he could tell why. The perpetual winter would sure turn everyone away from this place, but that very winter could come in quite handy..like today considering Mondstadt held its annual snowman-building competition.

Something that was probably targetted mostly towards children was something that really interested Trunks as it was a pastime he’s hardly gotten the chance to indulge in. Hell the last time he remembered being around snow is when he was knocked out unconscious into it. Playing in it was definitely going to be a better experience. “I can’t wait. OH woooow the kids have already started building snow men. Haha they've got talent on their sides.”

For a split second, he wonders if Varka is laughing at him, but he quickly works out that isn't the case, relaxing slightly as he listens to what he has to say. It really is hard to accept that he doesn't need to do anything in return for such kindness. It actually makes him feel slightly uneasy, one hand picking slightly at the sleeve of his shirt as he tried to think on how to respond. This man. He had no reason to feed him, nevermind to offer up his home like this. Every adult he'd dealt with before now always had hidden reasons behind their actions, so why was he to be different? But he had met with Kira and she seemed happy enough - and the way he spoke about her...it was clear to anyone that they were a close family. Something like that, could he really be part of it? What if he messed it up? "...I've never really...", he paused and took a small drink of his water, buying some time to gather his thoughts, "I've always lived as part of a group", he finally says, though 'group' is the wrong term of course, "...so I am rather good at looking after my own space and keeping it clean and tidy...I don't even require that much space either...."

The Grand Master couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh in response to the boy's concern. Rai must be quite thoughtful if he was worried about such an unimportant matter such as that, or maybe the boy was just so used to having to please others in order to survive... Regardless of the reason, the concern was poorly placed, albeit kind to hear.

"No, no, that's not an issue at all!" Varka replied with a welcoming smile. "This isn't anything new for me. Everyone knows I have a habit of taking in 'strays' as you called it. That's why I adopted Kira, after all!" Everyone knew she wasn't his actual daughter, and most knew that he took her in because she was on the streets. They just didn't know the exact circumstances related to that, of course.

"As for what's expected of you..." The man stroked his beard thoughtfully. "I suppose just clean up after yourself? You won't have to do anything for Kira or myself, of course. Just take care of yourself." He then leveled his gaze with Rai, still smiling but showing that he was serious. Genuine. "This isn't about me, Rai. All I want is for you to be safe. There's no need to repay me. Taking care of yourself is payment enough."
