Music wasn't too uncommon to hear in the land of the wind - if not for the familiar tunes of a Paimon declared tone-deaf bard, then there was another bard letting their fingers play across a lyre. Applause usually followed as well and Aether thought that perhaps he had just become too accustomed to hearing the sounds when that soft bit of applause reached his ears - slight alarm crossing his expression when quiet applause quickly grew in volume. Was this a trick from a vision or something meant to disorient him? Paimon at the very least seemed to be pleased by the gesture, Aether letting his little floating companion bask in the glory of it all as golden hues swept over the surrounding area for a clue.

@amdss​ said : unfamiliar as he is with this one, amdusias elects to be gentle, and so he lets the soft tune of a lone flute reach them on the breeze, a soothing melody played- while he's idly polishing his shoes nearby.

Now this was a first for Nix to experience. As she walked through the bustling city of Mondstadt, she swore she could hear the sound of a flute playing upon the breeze. As she hummed along with the melody, finding it quite pleasant to the ears, she tried to locate who was playing it. Try as she might, there was no sign of any flute players! What a shame, the woman truly wanted to compliment their playing. Perhaps someone could help her locate them?

hydrangea :   how much does your muse value communication in their relationships with others ? are they prone to being misunderstood ?

"Communication? It's needed for most foundations of relationships, regardless of what the relationship is; words play a part as much as actions and touch do. I don't think I'm too prone to be misunderstood, I'm pretty forward with what I want and need..."

with the amount of talking sylvie does, it's prominent in all their relationships even if unintentional. they've learned that words can carry weight quite heavily and sometimes even the simplest statements can have a reach. funnily enough for all the talk of communication, they sure can't communicate the shit they're going through at moments ...

edelweiss :   what was the bravest moment in your muse’s life ? are they known to be courageous from then on ?

"My bravest moment? Oh, gods, I've done so much stupid shit that it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it was ... I think the very first one was ... when I was very small. I know it might sound kinda silly, but chasing off a little wolf pup being when you're just a tiny deerling is not the easiest thing! I think my pride swelled by twenty times that day and it just kept growing."

basil :   does your muse have a love - hate relationship with anyone or anything ?

jean has --- and it is simultaneously one of the most admirable and most frustrating aspects of her --- an unparalleled sense of responsibility.  it is how she was raised since her earliest childhood  ( for mondstadt,  as always )  and in her adulthood now,  it is deeply ingrained into her personality.  she has learnt that this is not healthy for her,  her repeated  ‘ off days ’  that landed her in barbara’s care have proven as much.

and yet,  the reason why she very occasionally struggles with her workaholic nature is not because it puts a strain on her but rather because she knows that some of her fellow knights can easily see her involvement with everything,  from the taxes to the lost cats of the city,  as a sign of her not trusting them sufficiently to let them do their jobs.  and this is not something she wants to convey at all! 

hibiscus :   how does your muse view the gentler ,   daintier things in life ? as things worth preserving   &   caring for ,   or things only bound to wither   &   disappear ?

she wishes to protect mondstadt and what is mondstadt if not its people with all their quirks? with all the little things that make them unique?  hers is a city of song,  of art.  mondstadt’s people are proud and stubborn and spirited,  but  ( if you’ll forgive me for phrasing it like this )  most of them are lovers rather than fighters.  and jean has said that she wishes to become the people’s aegis,  but she does not just seek to protect their lives but also their spirit,  the spark that makes them who they are.  mondstadt would not be mondstadt without the softer things in life,  without the laughter from the taverns and the dandelions that carry hopes and dreams to far-off places.

and one cannot protect mondstadt without protecting the soft things in life.

that being said --- since her younger years,  she has allowed herself a fondness for romance novels so as dedicated as she is to her duty,  she indulges in gentler things as well,  now and then  ( when her packed schedule permits )  and if lisa recommended a particularly interesting book,  then she just sleeps a bit less to make room for the book in her day.
