"Please be careful Psy... I don't think Dainsleif and the others can get to us in time if something happens."

"I know, but you act like i haven't explored these ruins before, come on now, □□□□□."

.

.

.

"Huh... there's this weird relic here..."

"Psy what is that...?"

"WAIT- □□□□□ DON'T GET NEAR IT-!"

.

.

.

"Who Is that- They're hurt i need to get them to the cathedral."

[zhongrin]

the smell of tea wafted in the air. familiar and comforting, like the glittering gold filtering through the vitrage.

meirin sat up on a bed far too big for herself and rubbed her eyes. her muscles ached, and her head felt heavy but also clear at the same time — the clearest it had been for the past few days, in fact.

“how are you feeling, tiánxīn?”

a name sat at the tip of her tongue, and the syllable rolled off her tongue as smooth as warm osmanthus tea sliding down her throat.

“zhongli…? when did you get back?”

she rubbed her eyes sleepily and felt the gloveless hand on her cheek; the wedding ring engraved with the countless manmade lines embodying the countless lifetimes spent together pressing against her skin.

“just yesterday. how are you feeling?”

she tilted her head at the insistence in her husband’s steady voice, and decided to try and humor him a little, lighten the creases in his eyebrows, “like i just woke up from a nightmare. it’s been a rough few days, but i feel a lot better now…”

“good.”

a forehead kiss and an affectionate stroke of thumb on her cheek later, she watched her husband stand up to pour her a glass of water from the bedside table. it was then she noticed the state of the bedroom - every surfaces cleaned and every objects put back neatly, unlike what she remembered last time she—

“wait, what happened to m—?”

“hush, dear. for now, let’s just say it was all a long nightmare,” he sighed wistfully as he handed her the glass of water and a medicine pill, “please, rest your mind and take this for now. i will tell you everything in due time.”

“….. okay,” meirin sipped on her water, and obediently gulped down the capsule, knowing how stubborn he could be sometimes, “…. thank you, still. whatever it was, i know you saved me somehow.”

“it was a collective effort,” zhongli’s eyes soften, molten ambers mirroring the gentle rays of the morning sun, “and there is no need to thank me. though i may be retired, i don’t plan on infringing any contracts i made…. and certainly not our sacred contract.”

the woman averted her eyes shyly, opting to stare at the glassful of water within her hands, receiving an amused chuckle from the ex-archon.

“i’ll fetch you your breakfast. with your favorite osmanthus tea to go with it, perhaps?”

“oh, and tiánxīn?”

“hmmm?”

“i think we should include ‘narwhals’ in the ‘not allowed’ sign.”

“…… ah?”

[risustravelogue]

A torn letter reaches your hands, the letters are scrawled and smudged, tears covering them,

Risu, if you can still remember me, please ask the Yashiro Commissioner if he has any siblings, please i need to know if I'm crazy,

They said that he didn't have a sibling, please, i don't know what happened to me.

Pleasy, tell me I'm not crazy, i know I'm not crazy.

-psy,

I hope the relic gets the letter to you, letters seem to appear in its mouth i hope it can do the same in reverse...

"Psy...?"

Dear Psy, I would like to say I remember you, but... I can't. I really can't. I'm sorry. By Yashiro Commissioner, you mean that old man Kamisato? I've only read about him in books and Akasha News... but I don't know about him having siblings. I do remember something about him having two kids, though... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I can't help you, Psy, whoever you are. I wish you all the best. With care, Kurisu

Kurisu put the reply letter into the relic's mouth and nodded. The relic went on its way to whoever it had been programmed to reach.

...

"I hope you can find the woman you're looking for."

[abyssmal-skies]

What could've been.

@xianyoon

[abyssmal-skies]

"Are you really leaving tommorow?"

"...Yes, i- i know my... situation is hard to believe, but i have to find out if i really am crazy."

"I have recovered enough of my powers to be able to get there quicker."

.

.

.

"I want to thank the knights and the rest of the cathedral... especially you, all of you treated me well despite my circumstances."

"Even if i probably inconvenienced you all."

"It was our duty."

"Still, thank you, i- i have to get ready now."

"...Thank you again."

//ooc

just checking if anyone sent in more asks, cause i had 10 notifs and only 1 made it through.

[abyssmal-skies]

"...There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her, but it's better to check."

.

"I- huh... what's this?"

....

"Why are you at my doorway tonight?"

"Psy—"

"Do you know how fucking- ugh!"

"Do you know how worried i was about you- you fool!"

"Psy... I'm sorry..."

"Just, just get inside, it's raining and as much as i am angry with you, you shouldn't get sick."

Day 7, pg 2.

The conversation with Charlotte lasted hours, at least she gave me some good advice, and i managed to stop her from publishing it,

I made the mistake once, and never again... even if it was fun to see my brother tun around like a headless chicken ready to beat up my star.

Ah, it's late i should probably eat dinner.

I need to remember not to make two portions tonight.

I'm alone, after all.

[abyssmal-skies]

(Wait I'm dumb and did not see that ask answered 19h-ish ago. Please use this one instead haha)

"Hello, Komaniya Express delivery!"

A familiar voice and a familiar silhouette, yet a face covered by a hat's rim, which bore the emblem of a said delivery company. There's a name waiting to be called at the tip of your tongue, but before you could as much as utter the first syllable, the woman had shoved the package she was carrying onto your hands:

A navy colored box tied with a gold ribbon.

"Please confirm that the item has arrived safely and nothing is amiss!"

Upon your inspection, you see a bouquet of Inteyvats, along with a small bag of what appeared to be some snacks for Azael, along with a card laid on the top.

My promise to you. Have a good rest, beloved. I am sorry. ー 𝓓

"If you find everything satisfactory, please sign here!" The girl pushes a clipboard forward and gives you a fancy Sumerian quill pen for you to sign the document with.

ー Komaniya Express Delivery Person "█"

"Thank you."

I signed the document and gave a nice review, waving farewell as the courier left for the next delivery.

"...Does he think this will get him back into my good graces?"

Hiss

"Don't eat all of it yet. You know he's trying to win you over with it."

Hisss

"You- fine, I'll let you have some."

I will return to Fontaine in a few hours... i need to get all of my things and the things i had repaired at the blacksmith's.

[abyssmal-skies]

Nothing wrong with going back home, of course. But is home really home if you're not with rhe person you need to be?

Anyway. What are you going to do with that box Psy? Are you taking it with you to Fontaine, or...?

I... It isn't but you learn to deal with it, especially when the persons returns and disappears like smoke.

I am taking it with me, no use in leaving it here in Liyue.

The box will not be opened.

[abyssmal-skies]

Sure, that's it. Sure.

You sure it isn't because of someone pulling you there? Because I think there's someone else, who's not Charlotte, waiting for you there.

Is it not normal to want to return home, to familiar people and familiar places?

And of course to be in the company of... friends who are willing to listen is always appreciated

i just have to tell her not to add it to the steambird's relationship column... even if she promises it will be anonymous

[abyssmal-skies]

From Liyue to Fontaine, you get around quick, huh, Psy?

Almost as if a certain person may have had in it.

But maybe I'm mistaken.

i am just returning home.

nothing more nothing less.

i've had my vacation and it's best to get back home.

[abyssmal-skies]

Congratulations! You have recieved a package from ss; an anonymous benefactor who reunites lost things with their loved ones and delivers packages from beyond. - 🎩

-------

Hi, you must be Psy.

I have a delivery for you.

In the box is a black cape. It's something that was forwarded to me from my colleagues in Fontaine. They found it there on the outskirts of the nation, unattended. No name was on it. No one was there. But in one of the pockets, they said that there was a piece of paper in it that had your name and Liyue in it.

Psy, you can take a look for yourself.

I also saw a small letter D scribbed in the corner of the piece of paper containing your name. I imagine that's the sender.

I hope they're alright.

"Azael, do i open it?"

...

"Why must it be so difficult? I try to clear my head and remove the thoughts from my head and yet?"

This was supposed to be a vacation, a reprive and i have gotten none of that.

"I don't want to look at it, i don't want to think about it."

"It's not like h-"

*Knock knock*

"Miss Psyscio? Are you alright, we brought the food you had delivered, or are you still sick?"

"Who- Ah No need to worry Xiangling, I'm alright, you, you can come in."

I will just return it when i am done with this... vacation of mine.

[abyssmal-skies]

Day 5

the thought of opening that box made me a little anxious.

and i had a bad bought of sickness, nothing medicine from Bubu pharmacy can't fix.

I'll be staying home, but it's a pity i can't go ruin diving today.

[abyssmal-skies]

Day 3, pg. 2

...There was a package inside my apartment. I locked the door when i left, and the windows were shut just as they always have been

i don't want to look inside that box,

i'll just put it away, it doesn't matter, out of sight out of mind.
