thinking of him --- i adore him a lot but i gotta. update his portrayal a tiny bit based on the latest quest. he might not be as ruthless as i made him out to be.

wanminsâ | chaos device collector.
â chaos devices !! â her grin hasnât faded.  â i like to collect them. i tried cooking with them, but they didnât really add anything â sort of a metallic aftertaste ?? which works for some things, but not enough to need a ton of them, â xiangling explains, â so i just keep them on a little shelf !! i think theyâre fun. â and very good paperweights.  â itâs not really risking my life, anyways, â she corrects, drawing deathmatch like sheâs ready to dash over and fight right this second, â if things start to get too bad, iâll just run away to safety until iâm ready again !! â
     â w - wait, wait. â she likes to collect them, she likes to cook with them. with such weird cooking taste, could it be that sheâs --- that cook ? heâs heard her name in passing while in liyue, mostly accompanied by both concern at the ingredients used and surprise at how good the dish still came out. â let me come with you then ! iâm sure you can handle yourself fine, iâd just be really worried if i knowingly let you go off. â and his ruin guards. aether doesnât even want to consider the untold horrors that are about to be unleashed upon those new models posed as mere relics of another age. his abyssal blade appears in his hands, though, of course itâs so that he can help. even he canât beat the snot out of a kid.

polearmdâ | adeptus xiao.
@polearmdâ liked for a starter !
he had moved in an INSTANT, snatching the human out of his free fall and setting him down on solid ground.   ( to protect was an instinct, drilled into the very fabric of the yakshaâs being. ) it was only then that xiao stepped away ââ though quickly, as if prolonged contact brought him some measure of DISCOMFORT. the words of gratitude were met with brief silence.
â  you jump without consideration for where you may land.  â xiao replied tersely.   ( words punctuated by a SHARP exhale. )   â  i find it surprising you have managed to live this long.  â
    this long. and how long do you think â this long â is ? he almost asks, beaming smile in place of those unspoken words. hands clasp behind his back and aether bends a bit at the hip, braid swaying as he hums --- â but you saved me anyway, didnât you ? even if iâm a stupidly reckless mortal ? â contracted to a dead archon to protect liyue, though aether hadnât even called out his name. isnât that how that worked ?
     â liyueâs vigilant yaksha is kind. â too bad theyâre enemies at the end of the day. should this one appear at lumineâs side one day, when this little journey comes to a close, that may be an act looked upon with regret. â duty or no duty. â

wanminsâ | ???.
he looks familiar, but xianglingâs not sure from where. just for politenessâs sake, she waves back with her trademark enthusiasm. and the concern for her safety is sweet, if unnecessary. sheâs all too used to people underestimating her, but sheâs got vital materials to grab from in there; whoâs to say aerosiderite wasnât the key ingredient she was missing ??  quickly distracted, xiangling gasps with excitement, leaning forward and grinning. â i love ruin guards !! â wait, that came out wrong. â i mean, are they still there ?? i like to collect their chaos devices. â
     â c ... chaos devices ? â heâs less suspicious than confused, at this point, so thatâs really saying something. aether had more so been trying to protect the sanctity of the abyss orderâs mission, but now it seems that their ruin guards were in danger, too, by this young one. could she really hold her own ? aether is the last to underestimate someone based on size and appearance, although ... at least her general excitement aids him in keeping up the act. â yeah, they still are there, itâs just ... ! why risk your life for chaos devices ? â

aether trying to look threatening has the same energy as cloud strife getting up on his tippy toes to get in barretâs face in the OG ff7

zuishiâ | reaper.
⧠㟠his initial reaction to the given statement is no reaction. â .. â the prince stands before him in all his glory 㟠or lack thereof, in nĂłttâs eyes. â none of your concern. â monotonous voice finally responds after silence had engulfed the two, their little staring contest being the only real response to one another. â counter question. what is your goal? â there was not much know of the exact innerworkings of the abyss order. certainly not shared with the reapers, but he knew from their track record that whatever they were planning, it would be catastrophic.
     â none of your concern, â he mocks in kind, abyssal blade appearing out of nowhere, then twirling upon nimble fingers. like tevyat, the abyss wasnât unified under a singular banner, and, like teyvat, it provided those in charge with an unnecessary amount of stress. this land is doomed and celestia is a lie --- why go through the effort of protecting it ? â iâm sure your superiors would be proud, reaper. but iâm not them, am i ? we can keep this between us, and no harm will come to you. â

     â o - o h, i didnât mean ... â yes, he did. â thatâs what happens when you k - kill someone ? â he already knows this, but aether has shown himself already to be a wee little lamb. an act that his sister would never buy even though they might. he allows the bloodied weapon to slip from his hands and watches as his assailant falls to the ground. ah, oops.

     â hehe, sorry ... i couldnât resist. i would actually very much like a glass of wolfhook juice, please. â it was worth a shot, wasnât it ? the drinking age in mond is supposed to be eighteen, but aether knows heâs always looked younger than that.

     â iâm older than i look, you know. so weâre not that different. â heâs aware the other is an adeptus and, frankly, heâs a bit tired of pretending to be a normal mortal in comparison. as long as this one doesnât put together that lumine is his sister, things should be fine.
