🌸  ┊ letter received from  @enchantedxmuses       Andvari-Chang : The five year old prince waddled passed his auntie without a care in the world, holding onto a sword that was far bigger than he. Vari grinned widely. "Look what I found! I'm gonna go play knights!", he exclaimed continuing to run down the hall and around the corner, dragging the weapon behind. (This is literally inspired by that viral video XD)

          Mulan loved being able to visit her best friend and her godson, for the tow of them were her chosen family. it had been some time since she had last visited though, nearly a year for she had tasks to do and set some affairs in order. yet, throughout the year she had sent many gifts to both her chosen sister and her precious nephew, many of them jewelry and fine clothing that she had found.

          though soon she knew that little Vari's interest might change, she knew better then to send weapons to a five-year old boy ━━ at least not yet. she knew he was too impulsive and would not sit through his lessons, unless his Bàba was around to enforce it. and though she did not mind lending a helping hand, she knew that this bonding time between father and son was precious.

          so instead she had opted to join Anna in a meeting, though she regretted it shortly after, for her temper was not quite ready to be silenced. after a short bit, the two exchanged glances as she forced herself to be excused to wonder the hall for a bit of fresh air. it was on her last round around the hall that she heard her sweet nephew's voice calling out to her, a small laugh escaping as she realized he was exactly cute enough to turn her sour mood good.      ❝  oh ? you found something little Vari ━━ ?  ❞    she asked before her smile turned into a look of horror. to her complete shock, he was holding a knights sword, though how he could have gotten it, she could not know.

        ❝  Andvari !  no, put that down ! ❞    she yelled out, as the child escaped from her vision. without hesitation, she ran after him, using her speed to catch up with him as she reached to grab hold of his waist and wrist to let loose the blade.       ❝  are you trying to get yourself or someone else hurt ? this is not a toy.  ❞    she worried that he might have already done something he had not meant to.

        ❝  what do you have to loose ?  ❞    she asked, her lips twitching a little as she tried to suppress a smile. uncrossing her arms, the young goddess swiftly moved from the window back over to where the sitting area was.

          with a swift adjustment of her arms, her hanfu swayed enough to give her enough space to sit without discomfort.      ❝  you surely must remember what it is like to be mortal... to rely so heavily upon any light the nights sky can give. so why not shine brightly for them so they might have a guide within the darkest of the night ?  ❞    she paused within her words as she lifted her gaze.

        ❝  i know the loss your heart faces... i know it is easy to let loose your sorrow... and perhaps this advice is poor, considering i have not faced the same trails as you, but at the end of the day, only you can give them what they need.  ❞

🌸  ┊ letter received from  @enchantedxmuses       Chang'e : ❛ 'Cuz I'm Ultraluminary. ❜ (YOU KNOW I HAD TO XD) / Over the Moon Lyric Starters.

        ❝  ...  ❞    she looked at Chang'e, and watched as she preformed for her spiritual tears and for Jade Rabbit. for a moments breath, she did not move and instead wondered where the line drew from confidence into ego, but felt it best not to comment. yet, as moved to turn to leave, she felt the Moon Goddess' eyes fall upon her, the line delivered in a such a way she could not help but blankly stare.

          as the song came to an end, she slowly lifted her hands to give a clap,      ❝  were you preforming for me or your new friends ?  ❞    she asked in a teasing tone, as she lowered her arms once more in favor of stepping forward,      ❝  i did not realize i was gone for so long that i would be greeted in such a way... should i come back later ?  ❞

          with a small smile lifting the corners of her lips, she motioned to the newly transformed space,     ❝  perhaps i need to visit more often so that i may enjoy music instead of catching up on paperwork.  ❞

The shock that registered on his face said that he was surprised to see her this deep in the woods. He was here looking for an errant fledgling bird from his rookery that had escaped clumsily, and he held concerns the bird might have torn a wing. So, the presence of a familiar face was both surprising and of course welcomed.

"Oh." he stated as he turned to greet her. "Are you alright, has something happened in your Sect?" he had to ask his attention turned to her rather than the bird that had likely flown off into a tree. It was safe enough at its age it could rend with talons, and pierce with its sharp beak.

"In trouble with who exactly?" he asked as he moved closer to her side.

Headcanon; Thunderstorms

From the darkened sky above, drops of rain fell heavily onto the kingdom, disturbing the peaceful night of its citizens. As the thunder rumbled on, lightning crashed nearby, vividly illuminating Arendelle for just a moment before letting the mountain landscape fall into darkness once more.

Through the darkness though, one castle window glowed brightly, a warm light coming from the other side of the glass, only hidden for a moment as the resident of the vast home sat down on the window's alcove. The Queen curled up in the corner, a blanket draped over her legs, staring blankly out over the land.

Visions of the past occupied the space of her mind with every flash of lightning that struck, causing her to fall into a sort of pensive state, no longer caring if the light from outside was almost blinding. An image of her parents, embracing tightly in their final moments....Elsa struggling with her emotions as Arendelle froze over, the storm raging on as she once said.... The memories caused Anna's eyes to become watery as she struggled with her own emotions, a small hint of anguish glistening in her gaze.

It took a soft voice to pull her from her deep pensive state.

"Momma?"

Anna blinked, turning to look over her shoulder at the study's door, noting a small head peeking out from behind the wood.

"Oh Vari, did the storm scare you?"

".....no-"

--CRASH!

As the thunder roared and the lighting struck it continuous chord, the child yelped, running into the room and straight into his mother's arms to which she could not help but laugh softly. "It's alright. I've got you now. Don't be scared.", she smiled, kissing his forehead.

"I'm n-not scared...", the young prince lied, "I just...I just wanted to check on you. C-Can't you sleep?"

"No, not tonight."

"Cause of the storm?"

"Yes.", she nods, sighing softly.

"Don't worry momma, I'll protect you!" As his courage was put to the test though with another growl of thunder, Vari was quick to take his mother's blanket and hide himself underneath. "My brave warrior.", she laughed, pulling the fabric up to look at her hiding son, who eventually crawled out from his makeshift shelter to sit closer to his mother.

"Are you scared too, momma?"

"Hmm nope!", she shrugs, Vari tilting his head in confusion at her casual response. "Then why can't you sleep?"

"Well...because....", she sighs, holding her son tightly to carry him over to the couch in front of the fireplace, the warm glow instantly soothing the young boy, his fear taking a rest for now. "Because it makes me sad. Not scared."

"Sad? How come?"

The Queen hesitated, wondering if it was a good idea to tell a five year old these rather private and emotional memories from her past. But then she thought of her parents and how they shielded her from the truth and what it took to reunite with her sister once more, she made her decision. Anna would not make the same mistake with her son and value honesty over secrecy.

"Because it makes me think of some very sad things that have happened during a storm. Like how we lost your grandparents and....we almost lost your aunt as well. Even Gale caused a bit of a storm that almost separated all of us."

"Woah...", Vari's eyes grew wide until another thunder bolt caused him to sink back into his mother's embrace. "So, you c-can't sleep cause you're sad?"

"Mhmm. Every time it storms I either lie in bed awake or come here to just think about things and be a bit sad. Sometimes it last for just a little bit and other times it lasts a really really really really reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally...." Anna continues on, tickling Vari as he lets out a loud laugh. "...long time. But there are things that make me feel better."

"Like what?"

"Like you!", Anna smiled, poking the boy's nose to which he giggled. "I just have to remember that....I'm not alone. So whenever I feel sad or even scared and yes, I do get scared. VERY scared. Your aunt is usually the cause of it-", she chuckles, "-I just reminded myself of the happiness you and others I love bring me. And then I start to feel a bit better again."

"Like bà ba? He makes you happy."

"Yes, like bà ba, who is probably get the best sleep of his life now that I'm not there to hog all the covers.", she smirks just as the thunder rolls through once more, the little prince jumping up in fear.

@enchantedxmuses dreamed: 🏠  my muse's family/hometown

Sizhui tried not to look too skeptical at Senior Wei mostly because he didn't know that Sizhui was the one who kept Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi alive, and sometimes Ouyang Zizen when he could escape. It wasn't so much that he didn't think those two would watch out for each other, but what happened when two trouble magnets joined up---quiet honestly he was surprised they were still in one piece.

More things that Sizhui did not say.

"What did she do ?" he asked with a raised dark brow.

Sizhui was the Night Hunt Leader when it was just he and the juniors or the disciples, as baba was often with Senior Wei. "Hm, I have not heard Grand Master Lan cursing and Grandmaster has yet to add more rules on the occassion of her arrival --" he didn't add --yet since yes she was given to mischief.

"She is one of the juniors I travel with very often." he answered and he might have added more but then he had the sense that his father was belng sly and fox like. Well, if he wanted to know he was going to have to do better than that. Lan Sizhui rested a hand behind his back and glanced over the quiet buildings. "She is also a member of your sworn brother's Sect." he said without missing a beat. "If there is trouble, he will be here." the youth parred the comment back into Wei Wuxian's court.

enchantedxmuses asked: “You have worshiped me avidly so I suppose I can do you one favor.” - From Chang'e

                                                                                   『 @enchantedxmuses​​ 』

「巫女」::The miko looked downright amazed as the tsuki megami approached her...She shook her head as if to clear her eyes. She’d seen youkai, faerie, shinigami, and aliens...But this was her first encounter with an actual honest to goddess--Goddess. 

                  She bit her lip and gulped a bit-a favor? For her? She had been praying every night--the tides of the moon were important. For several reasons. Thing was--she couldn’t think of a favor right off the cuff--flabbergasted as she was to have a deity approach her...So she kind of stumbled for time...::

                                                                                                 “What-what kind of favors can you do....?”

                ::She wasn’t entirely sure she needed one at the moment either--especially since this was a grand gesture all on its own-to be looked upon with divine eyes, and spoken to with a divine voice...That was a favor all alone!::
