please note that I only play hsr: I have not played the other honkai games yet, and I currently do not have the time to so my honkai lore is limited to the perimeters set by Star Rail.

@omniscias — ✷ ❛ i've been informed you ... went through trash ? ❜

@drolliic — ✷ " I was put on this earth to do one thing. Luckily, I forgot what it was so I can do whatever I want. " it's totally not because March ended up getting distracted halfway through the briefing and thus missed what their secondary objectives are " Let's go get something sweet to eat! We'll take Dan Heng's portion to go so we can give it to him when we meet up. "

ㅤㅤㅤTHIS IS AN EXAMPLE of what happens when one braincell is split evenly between two people — neither end up listening to the objectives they are supposed to be tending to, and instead wander off like a couple of lost toddlers in search of something to sate a sweet tooth. At least they have Dan Heng to give them a simpler de-briefing when they DO inevitably turn around and find their mysterious 3rd by their sides.

ㅤㅤㅤSLUMPING CARELESSLY against Dan Heng's back, his arms wind around the dragon's small waist with all the ease and steadiness of someone with practice. A chaste kiss finds it's way to the side of his head, already beginning the subtle actions of coaxing his lover to put down his latest archival book —

ㅤㅤㅤLITHE FINGERS RUFFLE loose through smoky strands of hair, dampened still from his brief foray with the hotel shower. Dark trousers hang lazily around his waist, towel draped upon shirtless shoulders as he pads around the small room restlessly. No matter how he tries, relaxation simply has not found a home within his body. Perhaps it could have been the unfamiliar surroundings, or even the treatment of the previous hotel, that leaves him so bereft of the sleep his body craves but — no.

Though these are perfectly logical reasons, expected ones even, neither are the cause of his impromptu insomnia. Instead, what plagues him is a certain man. The most interesting, most exasperating person he's had the pleasure to meet so far —

' KNOCK - KNOCK - KNOCK ' Golden eyes snap back to life, flickering toward the door as a muffled call of ❝ room service ❞ forces him from his reverie. Fingers tighten against the rough ends of the towel still laid upon his body, flexing briefly as they would around the hilt of his bat before dropping to his side.

@drolliic — ✷ Shoves her camera in his face. "Ca~e~lus~~ Let's take a picture together!" Could it wait for them to get back to the hotel first? Yes, but it wouldn't be the same as capturing the adrenaline still coursing through them right now. Also, March is giving him her best puppy eyes. C'mon, don't be a stick in the mud.
