@qilingraces whispered to Lisa:     ❛  i’m starting to think that this may indeed have been a terrible idea .  ❜  Jean to Lisa

❝  Oh, you’re starting to?  ❞  she might as well have shouted the words, considering her terrible temper.

❝  How many times do I need to tell you to take a break until you listen, Jean? Will I need to beg you next time? How about the next ten?!  ❞  Yes, her calm demeanor had apparently eluded her then. Perhaps one of the rare times anyone had ever seen her be this exasperated, and it truly never ended well… for them.

In fact, if someone were to look out the window, they’d see the clouds over Mondstadt to be growing with every passing second, lightning radiating from them every once in a while, as the sky slowly turned a violet color.

An exasperated sigh left her, her eyes closing for a moment before opening again with just as much edge as her tone.  

❝  You are not well, will you please listen to me for once and go lay down? We’ll manage, I promise you. Because if you keep going like this no work will be done and you will only get even more sick. Now please.  ❞

@qilingraces / i'm pretty sure this is from a meme

"What do I think of Liyue?" The traveler would parrot back at the half adeptus, just to give himself another moment of thought. It was different than the familial comfort that Mondstadt seemed to carry, but not in a bad way. Perhaps Liyue also felt like a family in a way too; not in the same casual way that Mondstadt was, but in the way that people seemed to work together in harmony to keep the harbor city in top working shape. To be considerate and caring in Mondstadt was to stop by and check in on one another, to spend long hours with the other chatting away until the sun fell and rose again. Although meals and evenings were still shared in Liyue, perhaps kindness there was to be prepared with all necessary documents, to be able to finish transactions and have meaningful conversations that processed much. Time was precious there with so many things to do, so care came in the form of valuing someone else's time and ensuring that their day flowed smoothly.

@qilingraces whispered to Lisa:     "Lisa, have you come to lecture me about my sleeping habits again?" (Hands u a Jean bc :>)

The librarian hummed a chuckle, sheepishly wandering into the other's office, a huge book close to her chest. 

Her gaze would shift away momentarily as her shoulders rose up in an obvious shrug, some would even dare say a sarcastic one. 

❝  Well I do have quite the experience on the topic, don't I?  ❞  a giggle escaped with her little jest, and soon she was just at the desk where the acting grand master was seated  ❝  Oh please, you already know what I think of your sleeping habits. You only make sure to contest them at every waking moment, or worse, try to bribe me. Potion this, concoction that... Not happening, sweetie.  ❞  she spoke as she placed the rather heavy book down, ending her speech with her index finger tapping on the other woman's nose. 

Moving on from the inquired topic, she'd maintain focus on the other with a smile before moving to one of the many bookshelves around the room. 

❝  Luckily for you, I didn't come to present to you an intervention. However, I did come here to ask something instead.  ❞  Whatever it was, it didn't seem like it could afford to wait, as it was still quite deep into the middle of her shift, even so, it certainly wasn’t about work.

@qilingraces whispered to Ei:    Yae drapes over Ei."Notice me."

Violet eyes opened wide, out of her small transe as she meditated.

Well this was very forward, even for the kitsune herself. 

So many years in isolation rendered the archon with quite the unresponsive reaction, at least for the few seconds that it took for her mind to process what had just happened.

❝  Miko, I-...! Ah... Yes? What seems to be the problem?  ❞  she finally replied, legs uncrossing as her arms finally wrapped loosely around the other, if only not to let her fall from the position she encountered both of themselves in. Her tone was calm, by all means, but still quite bewildered by the fox’s sudden... urge? Sure.

@qilingraces​  whispered to Ningguang:    "Lady Ningguang, I brought you a treat for tonight." - ganyu obviously rhbdscjxz

Oh? That was curious. Ganyu taking a break from work was unheard of, and to use it to give her something, no less? How intriguing indeed…

❝  Thank you, Ganyu. You may place it over there at that table.  ❞  she said, motioning to a small tea table by the bookshelves within her office. She’d try it whenever she had some time off the documents in her care.

❝  Any ulterior motive for the little gift, or should I believe this is out of the kindness of your heart...? I have no trouble with the latter, but you’ll have to pardon me when I say it is somewhat unusual to see something so endearing coming out of nowhere.  ❞  Even if part qilin, Ganyu still had her own work to do, and this would be an obstacle on its way, wouldn’t it? No matter how kind the half-adeptus was, the Tiangquan knew well she valued her little contract above all.

Still, even with her, undoubtedly, incriminating assumption, Ningguang seemed as nonchalant as ever, save for her somewhat taunting smile — ever faint in her features, but there nonetheless.

@qilingraces​  whispered:     "Lisa, you can not hide your fate from me.." - Mona

The librarian froze in her reading, taking a few moments to look up at the other mage.

❝  Ah! Whatever do you mean, sweetie?  ❞

The sweet smile that followed her rather… ungraceful reaction seemed to look just as fabricated as her greeting. Her expression was that of politeness, but it was clear she seemed taken aback by the sudden comment.

So much so that even she realized it, and would sigh heavily — if anything, even a bit ashamed — seconds after her opening words; closing the book in front of her as she did so, preferring to cut the formalities short, now that there was no hiding anything from the other.

❝  So it would seem… I should have expected that, shouldn’t I?  ❞  she chuckles, though the tone is more sheepish than one would anticipate,  ❝  I’m sure you can understand though, right? Why would I ever want to concern others with my issues? It’s actually quite a simple concept.  ❞

And it was for that exact reason she’d rather keep hiding her condition, Mona being able to see through her facade or not.

❝  Do not share it with anyone, especially not the traveler, poor thing… already has so much on their shoulders… Besides, I’d rather you be the first and last one that knows it.  ❞  It was hard enough being by herself and powerless to do anything about it already, she didn’t need others looking down on her either. She’d much prefer being seen as lazy rather than weak.

❝  Ahem, anyway, is that all you wanted, dearie? Any books you’d like to take a look at? Perhaps something to eat…?  ❞  If Mona wouldn’t be swayed by her words, a warm plate surely should do the deal…

Something that makes your muse smile:

In a very general sense, Yanfei smiles a lot by default just because she believes there is always something to smile about. You know RBF? Well she's got the exact opposite of that. A lot of her smiley nature comes from this firm belief that even in the worst situations, there is always going to be something that will bring happiness. That philosophy gets her through even the toughest of days and even if it's a bit naive (?), it suites her way of life.

@qilingraces whispered:     ❰❰ BRUSH ❱❱ sender plays with / brushes receiver’s hair - From Jean :))

The librarian was actually fast asleep once her partner started with her soft caresses. 

Perhaps something she expected, Lisa wasn't one to take too long to give in to slumber. Still, the fingers tenderly brushing her hair were enough to make her groggily hum in delight, as if displaying her approval to the tender motion. 

After a deep inhale, she moved slightly into Jean's hold as a soft, almost faint, chuckle escaped her, and as much as she looked to be asleep, eyelids opened slightly to give way to her tired green eyes, as judging by their half closed appearance. 

❝  I'm... sorry dear. I truly didn't mean to fall asleep. Where- What time even is it...?  ❞  her voice slurred the words, gaze looking around rather lost. 

Wasn't she waiting for Jean in her office a moment ago...? Where even was the book she was reading... 

❝  Uhg... I couldn't wait for long, could I?  ❞  she added, tone somewhat defeated, though a giggle did follow.
