❛   i can draw an adequately smooth circle.  ☆   ❜

GDJDJWKFJ SHE DRAWS REGULAR OL' CIRCLES SMOLIE........... it's only when she draw something like an object or a person that her (lack of) artistic abilities rlly shine thru tho

under the cut is what her circles DO NOT look like

ambitious moment? you mean challenge to be met and I have ideas! namely qianfan finding a contact in kaveh when doing research for a sumeru based artefact he is asked to research at this point only having conversed by letter but eventually meeting each other perhaps?

"I have not had much reason to interact with the architect outside of business ventures, but from what I have come to see he is diligent and knowledgable; two traits that I can hold highly." Qianfan leans back in his chair, abandoning the paperwork on his table with a flex of fingers, an uncomfortable expression crossing his face for but a moment. Writing at length still takes some getting used to.

"His works are something to be admired and his passion for his craft admirable. I find the letters I receive quite amusing too... reminscent almost." The passion he exhibits through tangeants of venting seems like a more harmless version of my own anger. "I should hope that if this collaboration continues I can find a way to meet him..." Possibly. The prospect of travelling to Sumeru is daunting and yet perhaps - with the right companion - he may be able to make the trip.

Qianfan leans forward to resume his paperwork, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Yes, Kaveh is an interesting human... the type who perhaps in days of old I may have offered a boon to if we crossed paths on a good day."

Teeth grind for a moment, a hiss lingering in his throat before he scoffs, arms folding over his chest. "An unwanted reminder."

Terse tones are quick to be summoned as he thinks on the human guise his old foe has taken, the way Morax has given up that which they fought for and he finds that familiar anger rising. It would be easy to descend into but with no outlet he simply sighs and scowls.

"I do not understand him and his actions. I fail to see the purpose in this..." A hand waves, gesturing in the air in the direction of Liyue Harbour without further explanation. He does not understand why he desires to hand the world he built over to the fleeting mortal creatures he had taken a shining too, he does not understand why he has retired from godhood, content to live among them and he does not understand how none can see how ridiculous it is that a god as powerful as Morax can die with so little fanfare.

"He had everything, why give it all away? He still infuriates me even all these years later. I cannot fathom his course of thoughts. It makes crossing paths with him difficult..." The kind of passing that involves curled fists and steady breaths, forced line of sight and avoiding the urge to bring back their battles, if only because he knows the outcome. "He should be ruling over them all not hiding amongst them. I will never understand him."

The words lean more towards pensive than frustrated as he sighs again. It seems there will never be common ground between them.
