@goldenpeng hc + touch for Blade and/or Dabi C:

Blade is an interesting case, when it comes to touch, because it's not something he really craves - that is, until he finds that special someone, whose touch makes him feel warm, comfortable, then he will start to crave touch, like a man drowning, but you won't catch him admitting that openly. However, it will be seen in most of his reactions to being touched by that person. When it comes to strangers touching him, he pretty much feels nothing, but doesn't welcome it either. He will make it pretty clear that he is not a fan of it, with his gaze alone, which can scare most grown men and women away, if that is what he desires.

Dabi on the other hand, greatly dislike touch from people, who are not close to him or, who hasn't got his mental approval yet. He will burn someone's hand, if they suddenly touch him out of nowhere, if it's someone, he doesn't know or has any feelings on due to the physical abuse he received as a child. However, those he does approve of and who, he secretly or knowingly, consider his friends, are very much allowed to touch him. He is touch-starved, despite how he react to people touching him. If it's a loved one, then he is like a cat and will demand touch / attention that will undoubtedly lead to what he desire.

@goldenpeng | THE ROYAL TREATMENT SENTENCES

“Crowns belong to those that serve.”

"Well spoken."

"A most astute opinion, and one I believe ought to be universally shared. " The Consultant observed the Yaksha. He had come to him not as Rex Lapis upon this visitation, but as an acquaintance, perhaps even a friend, if Xiao would allow such a notion, and their conversation had strayed to the times of the past - a past they both shared, in some part.

Zhongli chuckled, mild and warm, as he took a sip of his tea, "By its logic, though, I believe you would deserve a crown for all you have done, and continue to do, for Liyue."

What sorts of things soothes them when they���re worked up?

Pre-onset Erosion, there wasn't much that could get Retuo 'worked up'. It truly took a lot to get under their scales (hahah). It was mostly during the Archon War and when Erosion symptoms were on full display, that got them more 'emotional'.

The company of someone they enjoy usually helps them calm down. Talking them down from an emotional high usually works until late stage Erosion made them inconsolable.

As for Azhdaha, not much riles them up either. Actually, I can't think of much that would ruffle their feathers leaves. Even Liyue or Zhongli being in danger would be dealt with fairly calmly.

❝ Oh my, what I think of the great adeptus of Liyue - or Zhongli's guard dog? Well, I do think he is quite the pleasant sight, especially those rare times, where I get to watch him fight. It's quite disappointing, that I don't get to do that often, he behaves almost like someone shy! It's actually quite amusing. ❞

Getting a a bit more serious, the harbinger smirked ever so slightly as his demeanor changed, showing that he wasn't about to jab at the shorter male, with the words resting upon his tongue, even if that was always amusing to do so.

❝ I appreciate strength and I would be lying if I said that he isn't strong, which is something attractive in my eyes. It's just too bad that he doesn't want to properly fight me, which is why, until now, I have simply observed. However, despite his cold façade, he is very easy on the eyes. ❞

      "Humans are always quite intruging. Don't you think?" He questions with a fond smile. Looking over at the surroundings by Wangshu Inn. "I hear you're quite friendly with some of the people who work here."

[hierlekin-a]

"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Her eyes scanned over the remains of the hilichurl camp, so close to the road she had spotted the smoke before she realized someone else had already cleared it out.

Her eyes fell on @goldenpeng next, the corner of her mouth quirking up.

"I worried that someone might need help, but it seems you had it under control. Are you alright?"

[starwrote]

" what the long face, @goldenpeng? look at all of the amazing food lined out on the streets! - i don't know what to pick first.." her stomach rumbles with the smell alone, sushang's amber eyes dart every which way on a busy street in liyue. despite being otherworldly, no one has questioned her visionless decree with her levels of power. " what - iS THAT !?" the tall woman snaps into a sprint, stopping at a food cart glistening with new receipes for li sushang's eyes. /  ♡ starter.

─「アルレッキーノ」─  " must've been painful, accumulating that much karmic debt. " the FOURTH HARBINGER couldn't help that glint of interest in those dark hues. how the entity in her gaze was humming softly, wanting a taste of the darkened aura that ate up at the vigilant yaksha and threatened to take over. the last of the yakshas, one so loyal to the FORMER GEO ARCHON. no wonder the eleventh had found himself so drawn to liyue. there were many interesting beings, like these adepti. " you're going to lose consciousness if you keep pushing. i can quiet the screams for you, if you wanted. " the crimson crosses in her eyes glowed slightly as she said this, as though it was GROWLING in hunger.

❓

❓️DAYS NOW PAST. Pre Archon War days. The Guili Assembly meeting and these two escaping the socialisation of the many for the peace of solitary company. Only they find the same spot and end up talking, commiserating the rabble together and perhaps coming to learn something about each other.

❓️SURVIVORS OF THAT TIME. Xiao and Osial meet again, this time in Liyue after the AQ when Osial has escaped imprisonment once more. There's a difference in Osial now, he's less angry, seemingly defeated and has let go of vengeance. These two learning to coexist and perhaps even forging some form of friendship over time as they come to understand one another.

❓️YOU KNOW HOW THIS ENDS. same as above, but this time with an Osial who has made the decision to try for vengeance again. Xiao comes across a stranger whose aura is familiar, who should be trapped. Has to track him down and eventually finds Osial very much alive. He says all the right words about changing and wanting to just be in peace but soon after small events start happening that cause problems for liyue and xiao has to prove its osial. cat and mouse style plot.

Looking up at the stranger above him, he blinks once, twice, slowly and heavily. That's right... Yes, now he remembered. As a result of a stressful day, he discovered that the materials required for his project would prove more complex to obtain than anticipated and more expensive. Kaveh's roommate was not shy about sharing his thoughts on the matter. And so, the blond resorted to his usual method of relief. Alcohol.

"Ugh... I don't usually..." Drink that much, he says, comforting his head with his hand. He becomes aware of his unfamiliar surroundings as he glances up at a man covered in tattoos. Nature was present, trees - perhaps in the forest? Unfortunately, he found it difficult to depict anything specific due to his drunken haze.

@goldenpeng / s.c

It is said that when Haagentus gets engrossed in a new project, the god is rarely seen outside of her Domain. Any unsuspecting intruders are not-so-gently removed from the premises by an automated system. Well, only beings with minimum clearance anyways. The passage of time is lost upon Guizhong when she emerges through the barrier, using her long sleeves to shield her eyes from the natural daylight.

Adept senses take note of the presence nearby. Guizhong glides over towards the esteemed yaksha with a welcoming smile. "What brings you here today?" The gentle timbre of her voice chimes.

"Perhaps dear Morax has been worried about oneself? Or is it another matter that plagues you, General Alatus?"

[hydroglia]

A painful groan was forced through clenched teeth as the harbinger carried himself along the path, towards Liyue harbor. The edges of his vision were blurry, while the remainder of his sight shook as sweat ran down the fair skin, that was unusually pale, sickly so. A gloved hand lifted, to take a hold of his head, where an intense pain could be felt, a pain that made the male pant and groan. Something that would be highly concerning, besides the pain obviously being displayed, would be the dark veins, running along the harbinger's throat, that were dark blue in color and defined as they bulged and stood out strongly against the pale skin. If anyone looked closely, then it was clear that they were expanding, crawling along the scarred body, some smaller ones could already be seen around the harbinger's eyes, eyes that were slowly taking on the same color, with intense crimson mixing in.

The groaning turned to growling before Childe snapped himself out of it as he dragged himself towards the incoming harbor - towards familiarity, towards what his brain told him was safety. Had the male been in his right mind, then he would have known how bad of an idea that was, but being nothing near that, Childe pushed himself towards it until he reached the bridge, that was the only thing between him and the city.

The voices in his head made hands reach up, once more, to dig into ginger locks as, sharper than normal, teeth came on display with a sound, a monster rather than a human would make.

Without a warning, Childe ran towards the presence that had suddenly appeared, a few meters away from him, with eyes now completely overtaken by corruption, something that the harbinger had no knowledge of. It was spreading like the plague along the unusually pale's skin. Lashing out, the spear that had been called forth, almost hit the individual that had appeared, only for it to connect with the ground instead, where lighting cracked along the surface.

❛ M-make it.. stop... D-Dying.. ❜ It felt like dying, that was all the harbinger could think as sounds from the Abyss filled his head and shadows appeared, followed by intense pain which erupted throughout his chest.

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS. @goldenpeng / accepting !

Hmm....I think it depends on the situation. They're generally very kind and gentle to those within their 'pack'. Though if they deem it necessary, both rt or azh would dole out tough love ( e.g telling someone what they need to hear vs what they want to hear ).

They prefer that things aren't sugar-coated for them. Like when their Erosion was worsening, the thing they hated most was being handled with 'kids gloves' or treated like they were something 'fragile' even if such treatment were well-intentioned.

@goldenpeng asked ; ❛   hush .   raise  a  finger  in  a  gesture  to  silence  my  muse . 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃  &  𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 

It is not often that the Wanderer is cut off abruptly.

Any ordinary person would be signing a death wish had they raised a finger to their lips, uttering a soft whisper of ' hush '. But this was a being of a higher order and Akihiko had dealt a substantial amount of time educating himself about Liyue's precious guardians. Why would a foreigner ever trespass unknown borders without at least a basis of knowledge regarding that which ran through the blood of the Geo Archon's nation? It is why he scowls at the very thought of tourists and even civilians residing within the partitions of gold, as many seemed to display a level of disrespect when their ignorance shone at the cultivated and rich history.

But that was not the subject at the epicentre of their current matter.

The Wanderer crosses his arms then, letting sleeves billow, arching an eyebrow at the vigilant Yaksha with a hint of sprouted annoyance. Yes, he is not cut off often and that is the very reason why his reaction is untamed. He does not see a reason to hide his true indignation, for why did he need to be silenced in offering a morsel of knowledge that many would be striving to gather. It baffled him.

Perhaps it existed in the overarching fact that Xiao was his elder and Akihiko in retrospect paled when it came to experiences and erudition in that vein. It was odd to think that someone existed eons more above him and with a heightened maturity than those he had often crossed paths with.

It was even comforting to an extent.

Having been temporarily struck, he retreats back, withholding his snarky tongue. In anticipation, the next turn in their game falls to Xiao's hands. Maybe the Yaksha simply had something to say and the Wanderer in all his unravelling tales hadn't left enough of a gap for the Adeptus to comment.

@goldenpeng ── ❝ you shouldn’t be on your own ❞

────────────────────────────────────────────

A light chuckle, that was muffled by slender digits, escaped the tall male's lips upon hearing the statement, that awoke amusement in his clad chest, where a beautiful figure-tailored jacket could be seen, with dark fur around the neck of it. It was an expensive piece and one, that Pantalone himself had requested. Boots, with a bit of heel, pressed lightly into the snow below. What was hidden underneath, were a few bandages, that told of an assassination attempt ── something, that his little bodyguard was making a fuss about or, rather, his dear Doctor, no doubt. After all, if something was to seriously happen to Pantalone, then his funds would fall into the abyss and most likely not recover. The wound wasn't a serious one, it had just come as a surprise as the harbinger hadn't expected anyone to be so bold. It had ended with his attacker getting pierced by geo, through the chest. However, even without his delusion, everything would have been fine. Yes, he wasn't as well experienced in combat as some of the others, his skills laid mainly in trading, controlling the market, selling and buying and expanding their business, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to protect himself or fight, after all, it was a skill, he had very much needed, even as a mere child.

❝ Did the dear Doctor tell you this? ❞ Even if that was the case, Pantalone reached out and ruffled his bodyguard's hair. Usually, this was followed by a 'good boy', but this time, the harbinger simply smiled, with a small chuckle vibrating within his throat.

❝ Is the jacket keeping you warm? Can't have you catch a cold. ❞

Of course, Pantalone had bought a jacket for his little pet too, the other wouldn't be much of a bodyguard if he suddenly got sick.
