 ❝    MM  ??  ah,  good  evening  beidou.  away  from  your  ship  again,  i  see.    ❞        not  that  far  though,  seeing  as  how  “yukine”  was  currently  in  liyue,  having  needed  to  pick  up  on  a  few  ingredients.  she  had  just  found  a  recipe  from  mondstatd  that  she  wished  to  try  out.  hopefully,  somewhere  in  the  market  had  some  valberries  in  stock    ...    hopefully.        ❝    anything  i  can  help  you  with,  or  are  you  here  to  bother  someone  ??    ❞    @adrosetum​ for beidou

               ❛ PAPA, WAIT UP! i got you a present! ❜ for the most part, her excitement manages to outweigh her nervousness, but her steps still slow from a mad dash to a respectable trot as she gets closer, an impressive bouquet of pink carnations gathered in her arms. ❛ i know you don’t like sweets too much, but flowers are still alright, aren’t they? ❜ oh, they better be, because athy didn’t know the first thing about gardening before attempting to grow these, and yet here they are! ❛ happy day of devotion, papa. ❜ ( holding out her gift does not quite feel like bargaining for her life anymore. )

Was his ears working correctly or were they in fact deceiving him. Mikazuki squinted as a sip of the hot chocolate was taken, not wishing to turn to see what could be occurring out of the line of sight. Though he found himself eventually looking towards the prankster not at all impressed with what was asked.

          PALM rests on the hilt of the TEIGU at her hip, SCARLET meeting beautiful CERULEAN and boring HOLES through the other’s gaze...yet even with this ANGER blazing; not a single OUNCE entered her aura. It showed in her eyes. It showed on her FACE.

               But NONE in her aura or PRESENCE in the slightest.

                     ❝ Esdeath. You ARE my TARGET. ❞

     Her voice is hollowed of emotion, and though tone is apathetic and CALM, there is true venom in her words. Thumb PUSHES against the guard of MURASAME, pricking the weapon a TAD free from the sheath as her right hand slowly CURLS at her side. Her whole body relaxes...she’s ready.

          She’s ready to CUT DOWN this force of absolute DESTRUCTION before her.

Kouha glared harshly to his despicable cousin, funny how his entire family, except for three people, he could care less about. However, luckily for Hakuryuu, Kouha hated his own father more than him, so he barely missed being most hated. Once the former Emperor left under the harsh gaze of Kouha, “To think he thought I’d welcome him with open arms, the idiot.” 

What Kouha didn’t expect is to see his dear sister and Empress look down, eyes seeming to have sorrow and hope. “What’s the matter, ‘Gyoku?” It was then he heard her tell him about the struggles she went through, begging the man who used her, for food to feed her people. ‘I wanted to make you proud.’ Kouha’s eyes widened just slightly, confused as to why she’d want to make him proud. 

“I’m the last person you need to worry about making proud.” He was the rebel child after all, defiant and with no fear or respect for their deadbeat father. When his initial wave off of her words, he noticed the shift in mood, she looked sorrowful. Letting a breath escape his nose, he took one of her long strands of hair in his hands, “I can say I am proud of you. You made the Empire better than Hakutoku, Koutoku, the devil woman, and especially Hakuryuu. If there’s one person I’m happy to serve, is you.” 

 ❝    SUCROSE,  LOOK  !!  my  hat  has  ears  like  yours  !!    ❞        small  hands  tugged  at  the  ears  on  her  blue  hat  that  she  was  able  to  get  one  of  the  nuns  to  make.  well,  rather  she  already  had  the  hat  but  the  ears  were  a  new  addition  to  it.  after  watching  sucrose  be    ...    scared  ??  concerned  ??  some  word  about  her  ears,  ciel  knew  she  had  to  do  something  that  would  make  her  happy.  these  should  do  it  !!        ❝    we  match  now  !!    ❞    @adrosetum​ for sucrose

─「蛍」─  “ would you entertain me with a story or two from your adventure ? ” those amber eyes were filled with both curiosity and fascination. despite being a TRAVELER herself, she felt that the other would’ve held far more interesting tales from her travels. her time in teyvat had been brief, but it had shown her various sights and given her experience she had never received before. so it wasn’t surprising that she was INTRIGUED to hear it from someone who had traveled across the ocean to destinations unlimited. she was such an inspiring individual, so the outlander was sure she would have so many things to tell.
