he's not trying to sulk, honest. but he can't help the sigh as he looks up at the older skater and "what d'you do when you think the person you like likes someone else? it's not — s'not like I was even gonna confess, or anything, but it's still ...." a shrug. it still sucks.

Ouch.  That hit a little too close to home.

    “You... never know the answer to that until you ask.”  He sighs, running a hand down his face.  “Do you know for sure that’s the case?  Because I...”  Even with everything that had happened now, with how his life had changed, those memories were still painful.  “I thought that’s how it was.  Years ago.  I didn’t see how it could be any different.  The way he looked...”

        “So I didn’t act.  I didn’t say anything.”  His fingers curl into a fist.  “And I was wrong.  If I’d just managed to find the courage to act on my feelings... It might have saved a lot of trouble.  For both of us.  Heh...  It all worked out in the end, but... You shouldn’t make yourself suffer.”

"Two. Everyone always holds up the same number of fingers," Annie huffs, tentatively touching the spot where she'd smacked her head against the ground and wincing at the tenderness there. She doesn't feel dizzy anymore, just very rattled, and she can tell there's going to be a bump there.

@hitoripiledriver​ asked: 40-45 !

loaded questions.

40. Does sabotaging yourself give you an odd sense of comfort?

“Sabotaging myself..?” Lumine repeats. She wants to demand how she sabotages herself, but she knows all too well. The commissions she accepts daily. The fights she gets into on others’ behalves. The way she throws herself into every project. Or... almost every project. She’s started burning out on helping absolutely every person she comes across. And some requests are just ridiculous.

But still... What can she say? It is easier to run herself dry than it is to wallow within her thoughts. Everyone says it is the journey that matters more than the destination. But isn’t it unreasonable just how many questions weigh upon her mind? Every step forward brings less answers and more things that contradict each other.

“It keeps me... busy.”

41. How do you feel about being disliked by some people?

“It doesn’t bother me toooo much,” she drags out her words in the lethargic way she falls into when she doesn’t want someone to worry about her. “It’s impossible to be liked by everyone. Especially when you’re someone who...” Doesn’t stay. “Travels from world to world. I don’t like everyone either. Still, I hope the Fatui doesn’t like me.”

42. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done just to avoid failure?

She raises an eyebrow as she thinks. “Does getting knocked out by a sea monster god’s sea monster wife in order to protect an entire city count?”

43. What is the biggest risk you’ve taken just to prove yourself?

“Fight the Raiden Shogun, just to have a chance to speak with her. Nooot too eager to have to fight any of the Archons again, if it comes to that.”

44. What’s the boldest thing you do every day, just to feel like you’re still in control?

Teyvat is a land of rules. Not just nation to nation, but as a whole. Something more than earthly law and order. The Heavenly Principles guide Teyvat’s existence. It’s how Vision wielders gain their visions. It’s how the Seven hold such importance, despite being... people with their own struggles, hopes, wants. It’s the reason her twin continues forward as the Abyss Prince. It’s why her feet are planted upon the ground, despite how much she misses the skies.

“...Exist,” Lumine laughs humorlessly.

45. What accusation would you defend yourself most fiercely against, even though you know it’s true?
