⸺ @sagnaevi requested the princess.

❝ San Lang.. I have been wondering.. You said E-Ming cries a lot, isn't it then better to figure out why it cries instead of hitting it? ❞

Caelus seems engrossed in the flickering images on the screen, unbothered by how Vincent’s reticent gaze settles on it as if he were truly perplexed by the complexities of modern technology. Honestly, he could agree with that sentiment, he didn’t really get it either. He extends his phone in offering, on the screen the game hums away idling on a screen for pulling characters. He was to test out Vincent’s luck, if anyone's were as dismal as his, he thinks he would most likely uninstall, it was for the best really.

❝ You just click here and then..❞ he awaits with a steady, anticipatory gaze, aureate hues widening when the wish screen transitions into a spray of gold. ❝ how did you do that ?❞ he asks incredulously, gaze shifting slowly from his flinty expression and back down to the screen. ❝ I didn’t even have any pity.❞ that’s it, Vincent is sticking around as his new good luck charm. 

Loke gives a bone-crushing bear hug

❝ Just spare me a moment. I just desire a single duel, please? I will even promise to stop asking after! You can't just show me such power and then decline my requests, ❞

Childe spoke as he stood near Neuvillette, not caring in the least that the man had already said no. In this case, no did not exist in Childe' dictionary. He had found someone truly worthy and he was set on seeing exactly what the Chief Justice could do, even if he had to hear the word 'no' a million times.

❝ Give it some thought at least over dinner? My treat. ❞

Xiao knows this. He learned this over the many years he spent in Morax' service. He...was taught it by the yaksha, having struggled with feelings of guilt and unworthiness despite the kindness of their words. After their passing and, more significantly yet (despite the pain it causes him to admit this), the war coming to an end, Xiao's situation has changed. He is no longer so intemately intertwined with the mortals he now guards nor does he need to converse with other immortals. Their duties are clear, and Xiao will continue to fulfill his own.

"I understand, my lord." Xiao does not meet his master's gaze, unwilling to see the emotion within it. "I realize that my behavior doesn't overtly reflect it, but--" His hands tense at his sides until he consciously unclenches them. He means what he says; His body language shan't convey falsities he does not feel. "The people I need, they no longer walk this earth."

Indarias. Bonanus. Megonias. ...Bosacius. He still misses them.

...He better not have come to take Lyney away from her. Lynette will fight him, consequences be damned.

Suddenly spotting someone, who looked like they might need some help, Aether halted what he was doing as honey depths took in the stranger's appearance. Seemingly, they weren't from these parts, for they weren't clad in the usual Liyue clothing style. Not that it was all that strange, because quite a bit of people came to visit Liyue due to how famous it was, but it still awoke slight concern in the traveler as it meant that the person might not know, how bandits tended to prowl around these areas.

❛ Excuse me, do you need some help..? ❜
