switching to mobile for the night, but my goal for this week is to knock out some drafts and get myself back into the swing of things officially!

also more chongyun, because he's the gremlin who lives in my head rent free.

it's really hard for the former harbinger to pinpoint what emotion he's currently feeling. some anger over the general topic, that he dares not unleash upon the poor child, sadness and jealousy going hand in hand, as well as confusion. it's not teucer's fault that he has a better chance in life.

but...it's not an unfair question either. does kami want another chance at a family? on one hand, teucer unofficially adopting him means he'd have to spend even more time with childe. on the other hand, this would give kami an excellence chance to keep an eye on childe's handler and do his own part in protecting this particular family.

selfish motivation is still motivation, and yet... he's forced to think about the concept of family again. the truth is, NO. kami does not want a mother figure, father figure, or even siblings. he's perfectly happy on his own. on the other hand, something in his heart (vision) tugs at him. here is a chance to actually experience what a family typically does, if the chance is actually being offered. what are their meals like? do the parents actual dote on their children? do the siblings actually play with each other?

who wouldn't want to experience that at least once in their lifetime?

"perhaps," kami says, trying to relax, trying to sound more casual. "i would ask your big brother first though. if he says yes to you, then maybe i'll arrange something with him, and i'll drop by sometimes. i'd like to see your home."

he could leave it there, but then gives teucer a wicked, mischievous smile, lowering his voice. "we'll have to play a prank on him, too."

( 🎠 ) HE FEELS BAD the moment he asks, feeling as if it was not a good one to ask. he only asked because the ushanka he got was given to him by his mama, so he . . made a guess. his short stature tenses a little, feeling sad that his new friend with a hat couldn't relate to him in that -- but it was nice that he still let him try it on when he felt such connection with it !

❝ UH HUH . . design is pretty . . ❞

THE WAY HE speaks now is different too, kinda like his big brothers when he's being serious. small hands were careful of the hat on his head, now knowing it was personally precious ( even if his mama didn't give to him . . ) as he carefully felt the edges and differences.

❝ DO YOU WANT a mama ? my mama's really nice, she likes to make food and make me nice things ! she could make nice things for you and stuff, i'm sure she wouldn't mind ! ❞

[mmriesoftvat]

oh.

this is NOT a question kaminari knows how to answer. it's not a topic he ever wanted to visit with anyone in existence. as far as he'd been concerned for centuries, she'd been dead to him.

how does one explain that to a child though? presumely, teucer has a decent, if not great, relationship with his own parents. family, even. that's not something kami is familiar with. he'd tried, once, and that had been cruelly ripped from him.

"no," he says, choosing his words carefully. his tone is more neutral, as well. "my mama isn't around. sometimes people have to learn to take care of themselves." he forces a smile on his face though.

"i gave myself the hat though. it's nice, isn't it?"

( 🎠 ) HE WAITS, WONDERING if he'll be allowed. he's seen him before, seen the hat and really wanted to try it on but never felt confident enough to ask. he'd seen his big brother and him bicker, so he felt like he would possibly be mean. but as he received the answer he found that he had nothing to actually worry about !

HE GASPS, ESTATIC for the chance to have the really really big hat on his head, little hands careful to keep it steady due to not being used to the difference of weight. bright blues peer up at the other, head just barely tilting in curiosity of why it was important. wasn't it just a really big hat ?

❝ IMPORTANT ? DID YOUR mama give it to you ? ❞

this...is different. NO ONE touches his kasa, no one. kami's been used to that longer than he's even been harbinger, and no one else dared ask. but this is a child, and kami can't help but have a soft spot for kids. they're innocent and don't deserve anything more than to be spoiled and...

"sure." he plucks the kasa off his own head, and plops it down on teucer's. "you can wear it for a little while, but don't go running off with it, okay? it's important to me."

( 🎠 ) HIS POUT FADES, blinking as the piece of candy ( his favorite flavor of lollypop, how did he know ? ) came into view, eyes sparkling in excitement as his mouth opened into an ' o ' shape.

HE WON'T BE easily won over with candy . . but he does really want it. maybe he could ask for something else he wants ? he did really want to try on that REALLY BIG hat. ❝ . . CAN I WEAR your hat too ? ❞

[mmriesoftvat]

he's not about to ARGUE with childe's little brother; teucer is completely innocent in all this. it would be a shame to shatter the kid's world view.

rather than get into a back and forth of 'nuh uh, uh huh!', kami has a much better idea. he's pulling a lollipop out of his pocket. WHERE he got said lollipop is a mystery.

"here kid," kami says cheerfully. "you can have a piece of candy if you admit i'm awesome."

having a lot of thoughts about chongyun today, and basically thinking about how much i miss him and need to start re-spreading my chongyun agenda to get everyone on the same page as me.

chongyun is love, chongyun is life.

@abyssmalice: toni vc: okay but what's the catch if you help.

"no catch, consider this my one act of charity for you. one less fatuus in the world means one very pissed off harbinger, equals a very happy me."

this is totally my bad, but this is a long overdue reminder that my wanderer is canon divergent. he never went through irminsul, but how familiar someone's muse is with his actions is entirely up to the individual!

"While the matter is ultimately solved, I still wonder something." Arlecchino is sitting in a chair, twirling a twig around in her fingers. She can't remember where it came from; probably something from her journey from the ruins back to the House to recuperate. It's at least an idle action to keep herself entertained for a few moments.

"Why did you try to hide Clervie from me in the first place?" Arlecchino doesn't actually want to know -- and she knows the basics of why. That he feared her anger and the resulting punishment. Since that's all been dealt with, there's no harm in getting an actual answer out of him. At the very least, it allows Arlecchino to feel some illusion of family. Her children deserve that much. "Speak truthfully, I'll know if you're lying."

The faintest smile appears on her face. "Again."

talking to a friend about wanderer and i'll say this again but

wanderer does not historically do well with parental figures. nahida is a firm hand to keep him in check/under control, and not his mother. he would rather punt himself into the sun than call her mom, lmao

there's a faint urge to whirl around and dig his fingers into astarion's face. not to bloody him up, but to assert some bizarre form of dominance that's not really needed. then again, kaminari knows this reaction isn't normal, it's a result of the brainworm induced headache he's been trying to ignore for a few days now.

tail flicking irritably, kami presses a hand to the side of his head as he slowly turns to face astarion. this really is generous, for the elf-turned-vampire. it's hard to fault astarion for this unusual act of charity, and kami will take it.

"i'm about as fine as we'll ever be," kami forces out through gritted teeth. "faint fever, upgraded powers, and a headache the size of the crashed nautiloid. it's nothing we haven't dealt with before." as he speaks, he forces himself to uncurl up, standing up and rotating his wrists.

"i also wasn't aware i was begging people to come speak to me. at least someone noticed. better you than lae'zel, i suppose." not that he dislikes the githyanki, but her mannerisms aren't exactly what he needs right now, and threats of her slitting his throat are only going to push him even further into tranquil fury.

"i don't suppose you feel side effects too."

❝  alright,  out  with  it. ❞  is  how  the  spawn  chooses  to  announce  his  presence.  it's  probably  for  the  best;  his  approach  is  entirely  silent  otherwise  —  force  of  habit  cloaking  his  every  move  with  a  veneer  of  perpetual  stealth.  ❝  you're  brooding  so  loudly  i  can  nearly  hear  you  from  my  tent  —  and  we  have  enough  of  that  around  here  already. ❞  a  little  huff  punctuates  the  statement,  exaggeratedly  exasperated.  astarion  then  dares  to  take  another  step  closer,  standing  beside  the  tiefling  —  yet  with  a  careful  distance  maintained  between  them  that  goes  a  bit  too  far  to  be  considered  polite.   ❝  you're  practically  begging  someone  to  waltz  over  and  ask  you  what's  wrong,  and  since  we  both  know  i'm  such  a  generous  soul,  i  suppose  it  falls  to  me  to  take  one  for  the  team. ❞

the sarcasm heavy in his voice  makes  it  clear  he's  probably  just  nosy.
