He takes a moment to gently brush one of those cooled bangs to the side, simply admiring what he sees before him.

Naturally, that contentment was shared twofold.

"You're practically glowing. That's a wonderful look for you, Mei."

She has been properly cared for. Yes. She is happy.

That's right! Rebellious knocks are being made against this damn door! To think that demon ingenunity would go and spawn such a specific trap.

He can literally sense the smug from beyond this boundaries.

March is tossing his phone into a lockbox.

​

A-- AH!?

Immediately spins over to her, his features clearly and overdramatically distraught. In his mind this is all for good reason as he stares down a queen of cute.

"What my phone deserve to get sacrificed like that for!?"

Oh such a look that his dear friend Aventurine is giving him. Why, it's almost enough to give him the warm fuzzies.

Or maybe it's a morning thing? Now that he thinks about it, it's not a constant occurrence they meet at this hour.

"Are you saying that you're taking details about your companion to heart? Should it be an honor, or a concern? Does the unpredictable serve as a bigger thrill than our campfire moments such as this?"

Even without the said fire.

"Sides, lemme reel this into the cards. Would you even believe lil ol' me if I said another detail captured my eye?"

　―He is entirely unimpressed at this response. Has grown used to being unimpressed by Caelus' antics by now, honestly.

　"So it is about peaches. Your predictability hardly requires the use of my gambling abilities at this point."

These are all important parts of the creed he follows. Aspects he takes a devoted approach in accomplishing.

The Trailblaze truly does transcend the mind.

"Make what weird? There could be a lot of things this is a reference towards." !! A mock gasp follows, causing those golden eyes to 'leer' her way.

"Say..? Just where could that genius mind of yours be goin?"

Hey caelus...did you know theres an official game where you can dumpster dive to get a trash lid as a hat? Recently they updated and now theres a 5% chance of getting a trash catalogue!?

"And that is where an official point is being challenged." He abruptly adds in, pointing towards this masked conversationalist.

"Is it truly trash if they're treating it like a treasure? How is it 5% when the main angle should be that it's 200%, all the rare equips being at those hellishly low percentages instead!?"

To think there would be a video game where the fabled waste of the lands was transformed into treasure. To think there could potentially be a climate of competition over it, to have a once everyday luxury be changed into grounds it was never destined to be.

For a change! This is why Caelus looks skeptical.

"I'll do ya one better. If the sacred calling to bond with my shining, silver allies ever come to head. I'll go outside. The one place where you can find them in troves, ignored, but never forgotten while I got my ol fashioned say so about this!"

[ META ] Kafka, because... how can I not? (but even outside of our verse-- how about both?)

And here we are. Grounds I've been welcoming and expecting all the same. Ever since the day their gazes locked since the start of the game. I'll hit this up in the order you put it in here.

What echoes the heaviest from the two of them is the belief in each other. Now, while it'd take a firm look beyond what's trying to be sculpted in Caelus's revived days, what he holds deep yet doesn't remember, how Kafka introduced him back to reality with that premise. How at the core of it all, she enjoyed his company best when he's truly honest in the way he lives, it speaks to me of a history that gave shared influence with each other.

Taking it from this thread, it leads to his line of questions, a determination to not only grasp what was once there, to find a way to show that this bond they held hadn't changed at it's core. (Though a lot of details may have to start anew), but at the same time, it's not that simple either, why would there be these many sprinkled instances amidst the Trailblazer's confusion/anger (like on the Xianzhou) that never releases that vein?

Faith on a scale like that where a wish of Kafka was for them to remain true, to be that ever active force that'd paint the cosmos in his own fashion, it's a welcomed weight, foundation.

In the same vein this only adds kindle upon the reasoning that the Trailblazer is an active force that always reaches out to them, that lets positions, authority and all these details that create bars and balances be diminished entirely before them. He only wants his presence and Kafka's to be the defining factor. In the same vein? The feeling from her is a touch hard to ignore, where the ghost between them, that lingers in memories held and memories lost remains.

It feels as if there's an important border that despite all this closeness provides, that keeps them apart in a way that truly matters to him. He's gained an idea on the Stellaron Hunter's MO, in how Kafka utilizes her borders carefully, wanting to create but never wanting to paint the shade of the past upon him either, no matter how much he desires it. It's a motivation ache, it's the sort that keeps him up after their conversations, a desire to make her happy that stems from the past and has been equally nurtured in the present.

As much as she has his back, naturally he wants to return that same respect. The question remains in how does he reach such grounds?

______

Now if we were to reel this into our continuity? What opens from the current canon to what we've developed leads to how they close the distance. A lot of their time finds itself devoted to each other. Caelus feels like he's approaching closer to an answer, the sort that memories in themselves would've never figured out to begin with. Time with Kafka brings a confirmation that what truly matters has never changed in his personal judgement. Just as a side of him would devote his years to her in the past, it hadn't changed.

Understanding upon that scale feels transcendent. Days they spent amidst their dangerous work, how a casual freedom that's normalized in the eyes of many become such a treasure to them both. It tickles him to see the way they compromise, where her reserved nature finds peace with his outgoing balance. How there's never hesitation in eradicating the preconceived. For such bars are only 'external' views of others, aspects they've found special. The longing that could be felt between them always gets answered, there's a welcomed joy in learning anew.

A shared joy in truly exploring the world and possibility alike joins them, and with the way she likes to approach it? He wouldn't have it any other way.

For the language of her love certainly makes a firm resonance with Caelus.

The heart has its ways it thrives, that adores working, and in his case what he adores about Kafka is the raw scale that she cares. Despite the 'challenges' she raises, or the means she likes to poke and prod at a situation to discover more, that's a firm certainty that doesn't slide by his clarity. For one of his key traits with her is the scale of attentiveness he takes, whether that puts him in the 'line of fire' or in an instance of being correct, there's a sanctity of being bare around that he adores.

That said. There's no shortage of vivid views, unforgettable scenes they'd share across the cosmos. (Starry flower fields, the glamor of a cityscape that looks like glowing diamonds.) They've nurtured their strength to prolong these days for each other, for those they care for, that sharp freedom in a willingness to clash against all potential threats to that enamors him.

March, sighing oh so heavily.

"I know you're a foodie, but that doesn't involve inedible objects!!! Geez, maybe I need to always keep a ward on you to prevent you from hurting yourself in every way--"

So why is Caelus the utter opposite in such a moment. Practically gleaming, his chest puffed out, as if there was nothing but the golden gates of victory set before them? For an inevitable aspect of Caelus's life is that harm will come his way.

Y'know. Just a few of those experiences being inflicted due to his curiosity.

"You tellin' me you hadn't been curious about it even once? March." He emphasizes, as if she hadn't saw the bigger picture! Said emphasis only heightens as he'd bring his hands upon her shoulders, soft clasps made as he peers into those pretty eyes. (Seriously. Why DO they look so magical? He was never able to figure it out!) "How does the Trailblaze continues if we aren't taking these opportunities in hand?"

Granted, it was thanks to her mastery over the element that his tongue wasn't attached upon that steel tyrant that her nurturing hands kept him away from. As always, he knows that March 7th is a soul he can tenderly depend on.

That said? Conversation time!

"A frozen pole. The silent giants that exist within and without these city walls. Are you tellin me you've never wanted to challenge their mettle? To tackle a foe that and see how much cold they've siphoned and proudly endured? How would I know such a fearsome ability existed if I hadn't engaged them in a good fight?"

In short, Caelus may have got his tongue stuck to a street light.

"Hollllld the phone there. The title for this doesn't seem quite right just yet--"

Procuring a marker, there's a hasty amount of scribbling made upon the article that describes him. The Trash part? Damn right, for the est fortunes are always found it.

So instead of a gremlin.

Raccoon was situated there instead!

"Better! A guy like me just has to live their truth, y'know? One day I'll get bags around my eyes bad enough to even make a raccoon proud here." He mentions, a soft huff escaping as his pride escalates!

[META] - favourite drinks

A sweet and simple one! (No pun intended.)

While there is no one true specified drink he'd always come back towards. He's certainly hold a favor for the sweeter things in life when it comes to a good drink. Given how with his appetite that he approaches either flavor rich, spicy or other brands of flavor that will take him on a journey.

Drinks for him are the oasis in the desert! So why not exemplify that with the selected profile of taste? Cool, crisp and that sweet tinge that's utterly refreshing to boot. It's the taste of hard work accomplished for Caelus, as it's often the time where he wouldn't have those on the fly. He angles them more as rewards or treats for a more casual day.

Or a stimulant/refreshment when the head is running heavy with a situation. Otherwise, he'd be diving deep into some ol fashioned H2O, gotta keep the bod in top form after all.

To add on to this! Alcohol actually wouldn't be a 'regular' for him. A social drink? Sure. Something to sweep into the atmosphere or a desire for some kick to his throat? Absolutely. It would be marked with occasions and never his first option. Especially when he's someone who indulges in the authenticity of experiences. Being under any potential influences is not something he'd want in the cards.

Which is mildly paradoxical, since he would be a fun drunk, and does have fun in it as it's a new experience in itself. He just loves to have his memories in tact for things he gets involved in.
