(for lumine) "How do you do it?" A heavy ancient gaze is dropped down to her petite figure that holds a strength he never thought was capable. "To have no where to call home?"

âăčăâ eyes of LIQUID GOLD found themselves raised towards his voice, meeting the ancient gaze that held centuries behind them. a kind of eyes that spoke how he had witnessed MORE THINGS than any mortals could ever have. but she wasnât a mortal, was she ? she was different from any he had seen before despite the BEATING HEART resided within her left chest.
        for a moment, even lumine was rendered completely silent. how do you do it ? how, indeed.
        â my home ... was a person. â finally, the answer came in a seemingly quiet tone, unlike the usually steady tone she carried on her person. the IMAGE of the said person appeared within her mind, in a split second that it overlapped with the flashback of her outstretched hand that missed his person as he disappeared through the DIMENSIONAL PORTAL. that gaping wound inside her own heart that expanded torturously whenever she thought back.
        home is wherever we are together.
        â as long as i was with him, i was home. â it was difficult to keep her voice steady now, if the way she uttered the word HOME had her voice quivering a little wasnât a hint itself how it AFFECTED her. she was okay not having a home to return to, as long as they were together, as long as she had her BROTHER, nothing else mattered. no one else â
        images of companions she had met upon TEYVAT then flashed upon her mind. their voices, their offered hands, their smiles, the way they called her name, the way they welcomed her to THEIR HOME, the warmth of their backs when they fought together side by side, the things they went through together.
        a deep breath was taken, and the OUTLANDER smiled at him.
        â i donât belong in this world ... and iâm still chasing the one who is home for me, but that doesnât mean i canât feel safe around those i care about. you are the same, right ? you must have those youâd protect with everything you have. those that make being alive worth it, no matter how long. â her smile widened just a fraction.
        â thatâs how i do it. â
        itâs not me, itâs them.
