Reminiscent

[yakshia]

“I walk alone with my own ghosts.”

— Clarice Lispector, from “Raging Against the Typewriter,” Selected Cronicas

[yakshia]

“Because my body / wasn’t made for peace: for never / feeling pain.”

— Ashley Mares, from “Apparition,” published in Noble / Gas Qtrly (via ablackwing)

[yakshia]

“suddenly / darkness, suddenly only darkness.”

— Richard Siken, Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out

[yakshia]

the yaksha pupils dilated, startled, averting his gaze, cheeks hued with a roseate fluster. the mournful lament was intended for the fallen, for the brethren who could bask no longer until the moon’s glow. the god’s could heed to his song, especially the one to whom he prayed to in his solemn tune. the winds were as much of barbatos as the warmth that leant into his side. his eyes find the ripple of his sake, his reflection one of rumination. “   you aren’t wrong.”  his cadence was tempered for solemnity, slowly rising to meet the bard’s gentle eyes, venti’s cheeks also flushed.  “ neither is what you think of me.”  the cup of alcohol rises to his lips and he takes a sip. liquid courage, is that the name christened to such things. “  the nights i have spent with you, my soul is at peace.”  a confessional made between the two. Xiao had long since familiarized himself with solitude, it was a haven for all for him to slaughter as had been his fate since his birth, centuries ago. to palliate his loneliness in the closeness with another - it had never been something he thought he deserved, that he could be liberated from the fetters of the wars long since foregone.

“  i want to keep you here.”  his words felt -  far too candid for one who spoke rarely of his feelings. perhaps it was the solitary sip of sake,  the adepti a surmised lightweight or, a sentiment of their ephemeral meetings, coveting the god’s company more than he should have wanted to.

" I never said you had to sing for me Xiao. Rather I wanted you to play the flute with me. I'm not so hard of hearing not to hear your soft playing in the winds at the dead of night. "

There was a teasing nature in his tone as he gladly took a drink from his cup. He had all grown used to the burn it left behind in his throat. It didn't bother him. It was a selfish reminder that he was still here in the present with the Yaksha by his side. This feeling was also desired during the moments where he was alone. His freedom came with a price of that very thing. In a way he felt like isolated himself unintentionally with the guise of bringing freedom to his people.

Venti lowered the cup, his once bright smile turning down into a somber frown. Ah, now was not the time to allow his thoughts to muddy like this. This was meant to be a time to enjoy. While he tried to make more of a routine of it, he didn't get to see Xiao often as he wanted to. Did he want to see him too? Or was this little hopeful fantasy in his head just a illusion of his own making.

There was a slight shake of his head to rid himself of what was plaguing him. He'd decipher that another time. Barbatos shifted his gaze back over to the adepti and bumped their shoulders in a more playful manner.

" If you keep saying that to me then I might get the wrong idea my little yaksha~. After all this setting is a romantic one. "

Ah, maybe he shouldn't have let that one slip... He found himself growing flustered at his own admissions.

" N-never mind that. I don't know why i said it. "

There is NOTHING beautiful about the scars LITTERING my body
