Nilou had surprisingly managed to convince Étoiles to let her go alone when retrieving Natalia from the hospital. Though he did call and let them know she was coming and give permission to let her leave for a set amount of time. She would be lying to say she wasn't just a bit nervous, but Natalia had seemed to be kinder to her than she was to Étoiles, so perhaps everything would go smoothly and they would have a good time... Hopefully.

Nilou knocked at her hospital room door. "Natalia? It's Nilou, may I come in?"

Étoiles was not thrilled for this trip. He seldom had the desire to return to Fontaine other than to visit his mother's grave, and babysitting Natalia was not at the top of his list for a good time. He tried to keep up with her, threatening to put her on a leash if she didn't stay within his line of sight. He noticed how she seemed to be drawn to anything that shined when the light would catch it just right, taking mental notes of things she liked in the hopes that he could use them to win her favor and get her to cooperate.

He stood close by with his hands shoved in his pockets as he watched her stare and pick at a pair of boots with polished and shiny buckles. "Are you going to buy them or not? We've been standing here for 10 minutes."

A few days since when Nilou brought Natalia gifts, and after lots of paperwork and talking to Sigewinne, Natalia is allowed to take a supervised trip to Fontaine to buy new clothes. @etoiles-astrologypainter is her chaperone on this trip, of course.

To hide Natalia’s identity from potential Fatui, and her skin from the sun, she’s given a basic cloak to wear on the trip and over the clothes Sigewinne got her when she was in the recovery ward.

Once in Fontaine, Natalia is overcome with the crow like urge to look at every shiny thing she can see. It doesn’t matter that she’s slowed down by using a cane, she must look at everything that glitters like her new earrings. She’s also carrying a suspicious bag with her, and won’t let anyone look at it.

[lotus-dancer-nilou]

While Nilou is looking at the different vendors in the Grand Bazaar after a performance, a jewelry vender is having a sale. There's many different shiny items, including earrings of different kinds with jewels or not.

If only @thetruescholar was here to see it to pick out some new earrings.

As Nilou scanned the displays, she found a pair of blue dangly tassels that she really liked. She picked them up immediately and continued to look around. She then found a red and gold bracelet made with Trishiraites stone.

"Oooh, Kaveh would like this!"

She picked those up too. Finally, another pair of dangly earrings. Dark purple feathers hanging from gold chains. She remembered when Natalia asked for recommendations on where to find a purple dress. She much like that color. And she said her earrings were taken for saftey reasons... But she couldn't hurt anyone with a feather right? Nilou picked these ones up too with a plan to visit the hospital and give them to her as a gift.

[lucienaskblog]

Don’t worry, I don’t like her either. I was only curious about her.

Way too pretentious…you know aside from all the evil stuff.

@lucienaskblog

I would stay away from that witch, if I were you.

[lotus-dancer-nilou]

@etoiles-astrologypainter

Am I allowed to visit Natalia in the Hospital?

[lucienaskblog]

You mean like his breed? Idk, orange. He keeps banging into things so I’d say orange.

The cat from before and I have become well acquainted. I doubt he will wish to stay for long, though.

acerbic wit

you're a mentor — an old scarred wolf, an injured soldier, a disgraced paladin. your teachings read as shamelessly pretentious, speaking in rhymes and biting down hard into anyone stupid enough to make the wrong move. this isn't your first life, nor your second, nor your sixth — you'll make the most of your time shackled to this world, no matter how many loops it takes to get it right. with every defeat, you reincarnate; a little smarter, a little quicker, crueler and nastier. will you choose to be brutal, equalizing, that final strike in the face of your enemies? will you go soft, become tender and domesticated? the choice is yours. it's not like i can stop you.

//idk who to tag :,)

Once you're stripped clean, what is at your core?

Flightless Bird

the thought of your found family is what motivates you in your own little world. you touch the clouds, and the soil gives way under your footprints... this is utopia. if you were to erase one thing, it would be your memory. experience is important, but ignorance is bliss. identity, in heaven, should give way to happiness. you'd give anything just to sit by the swings and eat ice cream, but this isn't that kind of world. you have to get up and wash the dirt off of your scraped knees. i think you have an escapism problem.

Étoiles clearly grimaced at the mention of his father. It's not that he was surprised she would know of him, given hers direct connection to Dottore, but she'd never brought it up before. He seemed almost angry, taking a moment to try and remember to use his words and not his fists, like Sigewinne taught him.

"I am *nothing* like my father. And I feel no pity for his suffering. You want me to give you a reason? Fine. While my priority was never revenge, I hoped that in the process of helping you, I could, at the very least, inconvenience him. At most, perhaps lead him to his death. Is that what you wanted to hear, Natalia? That I've been using you to get back at the man who took everything from me?"

He didn't raise his voice, but the anguish and frustration was clear in his tone. And when he realized how much he let slip, he scoffed. "You really know how to push my buttons."

Ophenima also hears the news that her dear sister, @thetruescholar Natalia, has been spotted in Sumeru. Last she knew, Natalia was dead. There’s something strange going on, isn’t there?

the first time she heard the news, the gears that cooperated with her brain refused to function. there wasn’t any possible way for natalia to be alive—especially paired with the fact that she was in sumeru, out of all nations to seek refuge in. the grip she had on her coffee mug was strong; how did she survive? what did she survive?

ophenima was sat inside her own office within her faction of il dottore’s lab, contemplating wether or not to visit the nation ruled by wisdom to come find natalia. on one hand, the automaton could easily excuse her sudden excursion as a trip for knowledge, on the other, it’d be too suspicious. . .

fuck it, things can be worse than this, and that was something that happened almost all the time across teyvat. ophenima glanced at her assistant—telling him to schedule a vessel straight for the lands ruled by the dendro archon—she needed answers, and fast. eyes of wine red flit back to the papers from one of her agents; papers that were a detailed letter of the rumors. — “i’m coming for you, sister. please prepare for my arrival.” she mumbled softly to herself.

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Étoiles waved his hand. "It's alright, I'm sure you meant no harm." He felt bad that she seemed so upset after Natalia had berated her so harshly.

Geegee spent her days observing people or the forest itself. That was what the days between meeting new people had become, anyway. Geegee had come to greatly appreciate the little peace and quiet she had to herself. Anyhow, in her little bits of free time, the girl had caught bits and pieces of conversations from the people living in the city, piecing together bits of information. And while she wasn’t quite afraid of the city anymore, she had found herself liking the village-like outskirts of the city. With all her cuts and scrapes, the girl had found herself visiting the Bimarstan quite often. Not that she would go in, though. It was mostly to pick up some bandages for herself when she was out and about, or maybe to help the patients and doctors outside. Sometimes, however, Geegee could swear she could catch a familiar(and scary) lock of pale blue hair through the doorway. She was a bit of a regular, visiting at least once every week.

This time, as Geegee found herself visiting the hospital once more, waving shyly to the interning and not interning doctor(s) as she rushed up. It was a wonder that in all of her visits, they all hadn’t once questioned her odd appearance. Perhaps that was why she liked the place too much. Shoving some new band-aids from Golshan into her bag, the intern doctor clasped her hands together pleadingly, asking her to go into the building to help feed some patients medication and give them some water. She didn’t mind helping out really, so the girl nodded eagerly, taking a dosage of liquid medication and another mug of water. Okay! She’d go in! 

What’s the worst that could happen, that lock of blue hair in the building would belong to Natalia and she’d have to help Natalia with her medication? Pft. Of course not!

Geegee walked into the building and into the room Golshan had directed her to(right by the door), opening the door after a light knock. Patient on the left… Patient on the left.. Geegee walked over to the bed on the far left, in the back, almost, passing by a man fast asleep on the bed. He looked quite battered up, actually, he doesn't have an arm..! Geegee spotted a prosthetic arm lying at the foot of his bed. Wow, what happened to him?! Passing by the curtain that divided the two, the girl prepared herself to tell the patient she was going to need to give them their medication- Geegee’s jaw dropped. Maman Malikata, save her. The girl couldn’t find it in herself to scream, her throat drying up as she gaped at the woman(equally as battered) before her.

It was Natalia.

Because of course it had to be Natalia.

STARTER FOR @thetruescholar

[etoiles-astrologypainter]

Étoiles was peacefully minding his business when all of a sudden he was hit in the head. He didn't flinch, but turned to give Natalia a rather annoyed expression.

"Would you please stop throwing shit at me?"

It's not a soup of opposing forces doctor... I added an irminsul branch to it... Nevermind l don't want to argue with you doctor.

Maybe you should have it? Here you go doctor, l hope you enjoy this artificial mess of a gnosis.

Teleports the artificial mess of a gnosis to the doctor 's hand, l wish you a speedy recovery doctor and l hope you enjoy this little present of mine.

(is this post boss fight now? eh either way, Natalia's gotten fatui ideology ingrained deeply in her head.)

Hm how fascinating, but this serves a better purpose.

Natalia looks at the gnosis handed to her, and then immediately throws it to @etoiles-astrologypainter in the hospital bed besides her's, trying to hit him in the face with it.

[lucienaskblog]

I mean yeah?

Kaveh does regularly feed us…without payment. He cooks more than Father and I do. It’s a bit unusual for him to just…hand it to me, especially after dinner. But I’m assuming it’s just a nice gesture.

Kaveh just handed me a bowl of cheese and meat. How the hell did he know I wanted cheese?

[lucienaskblog]

Well yeah I got that. My point was that I didn’t approve of your phrasing. It was deceitful.

You don’t need to explain what the Fatui does I know already. It was a special interest of mine for awhile. I’ve also been brushing up on it since Wanderer had arrived here, given he looked vaguely familiar.

Mm. I’m assuming you’re referring to Nilou.

It’s entertaining to argue with most, I’ll agree with you there. But your way of doing so is beyond irritating. You’d prefer to lie and twist around your opponent rather than argue by facts. You’re arguing within fantasy.

Wigglewigglewiggle

[lucienaskblog]

It was difficult to verbalize, but Lucien managed to reply. “…you’re too kind.” His head dipped lower, seemingly shameful

Lucien managed to get up and out of the house under a minute from the original message. Thankfully, Kaveh was out of the house so there wasn’t the concern of being roped into some kind of lecture.

He rushed over as fast as his own body would allow, though he quickly realized surviving off of crackers and coffee for almost a month was detrimental to his ability to function.

Out of breath, and drenched in sweat he asked where Etoiles was. He didn’t appear to be in any of the beds in the main room.

“He’s in the ICU. Right this way…” a nurse gently took Lucien in, looking a little unnerved.

Soon, there he was. Battered and bruised to hell and back. Though, he did look stable and acted as though he was only scratched. “What the hell happened to you?” Lucien hissed

[asklordnoel]

Noel noticed how she wasn’t looking at him, he was offended! He came all this way to visit her and she couldn’t even Look at him and admire his presence?!

“How RUDE! I come visit you at this filthy crazy people place out of KINDNESS! and you cannot even appreciate it!? Whatever!

While we are on the topic of how kind i am, I bought you some things out of KINDNESS from the lab.”

“Oohh, Natalia~ it’s your favorite, the greatest, the most magnificent person in all of Snezhnaya.. Lord noel!

Aren’t I so kind, im visiting you while you’re in this.. filthy filthy peasants place.”

- @asklordnoel

Natalia keeps her head low to avoid looking at him, and sits on her psych ward bed.

What causes you to pay me a visit?
