@unpiety // weinlesefest starter !
Collei wasn’t extremely familiar with Springvale. When she had visited Mondstadt all that time ago, she had completely passed it. It was a quaint little place, comforting in both the energy it presented -- as well as the smells on the wind. The smell of festival food and flowers ... it brought her back to when she was dragged around by Amber ...
Music was the first thing that she followed, hearing the gentle tune of a lyre. Stepping a bit closer a hand settles at her heart as the emerald clothed bard played a melody that brought her a strange peace.
Perhaps ... the festival could wait for a moment more. She finds a place to sit, along with the other’s enamored with the song, as she quietly watched the, obviously practiced, artist work.

despite all his efforts, despite all his lord’s efforts, the karmic debt still heavily stained xiao to the point where he needed to keep it check, daily, for thousands of years. once one has lived with it long enough, it becomes more of a bothersome ache, but a bothersome ache that sometimes makes xiao cry out and double over in pain so excruciating that he felt as if he was going to die.
“cyno…did something similar for me,” he says, glancing down at her for a second before looking forward again, noting that they should arrive at the inn in about five minutes if he didn’t run into anything severe along the way. “i almost lost control, but he helped keep my karmic energies at bay by staying with me. i….karmic energies are not the same as archon residue, but they are both from the gods, and they both cause pain to those that hold them within themselves.”
collei seems like she knows that xiao is trying to keep her conscious by talking to her, and is speaking back, despite her evident exhaustion. she seems to pick up on things quickly, like cyno had mentioned when they spoke about her.
“i cannot leave liyue for very long, but the flower grove that you speak of sounds lovely.” some of xiao’s fondest memories include sitting in a field with flowers, either with his fellow yakshas or his lord morax or lady guizhong–and, sometimes, the goddess of flowers, too. barbatos brought him flowers sometimes, too, cecelias that would leave xiao’s fingers stained with scent when he would hold them for too long. “i…find myself partial to flowers myself, i always found them nice to look at, and they bring me peace.”
the archon residue seeping from her seems to grow more severe by the second, and xiao’s bared forearms feel as if they are burning now–his nature as an adeptus and something so similar to karmic debt do not mix well, and if he were built of lesser, he would have dropped collei from the pain.
but, he has a duty to complete.
Her eyebrows raise, curious of the story that went along with that. Still, she felt a sort of kinship that she was in the hands of someone who understood the pain that hid underneath her skin, harshly burning her. Her eyes dully watch the quick way the world passes by with the speed the adeptus moved, listening to the recount that he provided. ❝ … He’s very good at what he does. ❞ Her eyes flicker toward Xiao, contemplating, ❝ They sound rough to deal with … I’m glad that he was able to help you at least a little. ❞ If what he went through was any kind similar to hers, then she can’t help the sympathy that panged in her chest.
Talk of flowers continue, and she nods, ❝ Perhaps I can use that … Kamera I heard about to take a photo and show you sometime. I go there a lot to think … Whenever I’m not doing my routes, I like to sit and study there. ❞ The way he speaks of flowers speaks volumes, and she quietly nods, ❝ I get that … they are really pretty … smell nice … sometimes it’s nice to just lay in them. ❞
The heat is unbearable under her skin, the whisper of the harsh energies growing steadily louder in time. She tries to ignore it, biting her bottom lip harshly as the aches and pains settled deep in her bones.
❝ …. W… What’s your favorite flower ? I’m not sure what mine are … there are so many to choose from. ❞ She’s now desperately trying to grab a continuation of the conversation – something to focus her mind on.
#in character.#alatusatlas#// oh thats cool yes !!#// i definitely can see collei and xiao having a really cool kinship

If anyone would’ve told him he’d meet a kid he’d connect with as much as he did with Collei, he would’ve thought it was unfathomable in a place like Sumeru, as much as he liked getting to know a girl who’d gone through much the same he had when he was younger… it dismayed him to think others had undergone such a horrible fate.
“Yeah, people just… they’re afraid of what they don’t understand. Doesn’t make their actions right, but I understand–even if it totally sucks and isn’t okay.”
As much as he thought platitudes would help as a kid, he knew better now. Ignorance could only excuse so much, but after a point, cruelty simply was evil no matter what the motive was.
He quirked a smile at Collei, chuckling briefly. “Yeah, they even have a whole holiday to banish us. Like, jeez, we’re not the reason you lost your keys or whatever,” he explained while poking his tongue out.
“I can believe that, but as much… you shouldn’t have to keep working so people stop being awful t’ you. There’s only so much you can do before they have t’ give back, too, y’know? Like Riko-chan needed people to work with her, not her wastin’ time to convince them that an Oni like her isn’t bad.
“We know we’re good. Sometimes, other people gotta pull the wool from their eyes and see that, too.”
Collei couldn’t help but notice the kinship that seemed to radiate between them. Perhaps it was because they had gone through similar things, similar hatreds. Not the same, but similar enough that they could sympathize with each other’s plight. Kicking her legs out from her seated position on one of the roots of the large outstretched trees, she narrows her eyes -- the familiar anger burning in her chest.
The anger never truly went away, but she was better at managing it. Better at recognizing and not letting it dictate her decisions -- despite the blood it had already put on her hands.
Rubbing her hands quietly, as if washing them, she glances at him -- the anger fizzling away as he smiles at her, “ That’s a stupid holiday. Do they think you like ... go into their homes without them knowing and steal them ? For what purpose even ... “ Her nose crinkles in confusion, huffing slightly.
Her eyes close a bit, and she nods once, “ Yeah ... It’s stupid. And sometimes, it’s not worth your time trying to convince them because they’re stuck. That’s their problem, you’re fun to talk to. “ She shoots a smile back at him, a laugh to her tone.

@aalberich //
kaeya has so many regrets with how he’d treated collei when he first met her. he was more immature back then ( or so he tells himself, if only so that he can sleep at night ); now, with more experience and practice, that sharp, relentless temper of his has slowly mellowed out into something more methodical and calculating.
( even so ... he can’t take back what he’s done. )
he regards her with a look of genuine surprise at the offering, taking it without hesitation; it smells delicious, and kaeya breaks out into a broad grin. he hasn’t had much of sumeru’s cuisine, but of what he’s sampled ... some of it reminds him of home. this smells a bit spicy; already, his mouth is watering.
“you’re far too kind,” he murmurs, unwrapping it and taking a seat on the ground before patting the space beside him in silent invitation. “thank you, collei. i’m quite certain i don’t deserve it. it smells absolutely wonderful, and i’m sure it’ll be delicious. my only request: share it with me ? food is always best when shared amongst friends ...”
Collei couldn’t find it in herself to be upset with Kaeya in any capacity. Sure, when she thinks back to the moment -- she rubs her fingers, still feeling the way that the harsh cold bit into the nerves. The harsh stabbing pain that echoed in her shoulder.
However, as much as she changed -- she’s sure that he has too. Besides, he was simply working within the confinements of what he knew. He saw her as a danger to his home, so of course he’d react intensely.
She smiles when he accepts her gift, nodding once. Despite the way her body opposed her often, she found cooking ... therapeutic in a sense.
Glancing at the way he pats the spot beside him, she accepts the invitation. It takes a few more moments then it had taken him to lower, leaning into the crutch for a moment, before finally settling, crossing her legs appropriately as she does.
“ Don’t deserve it ? I’m sure you’ve been working hard for Mondstadt ... Even captains get hungry. “ The familiar snark creeps its way into her tone, eyebrow raising slightly but it’s removed almost as quickly, accepting the offer.
“ Sure. I hope that it’s to your liking. It’s been awhile since I’ve cooked. “ She accepts the portion that would be offered to her, taking a bite with gumption.
#in character.#aalberich#// collei vc: its just food .... you don't have to worry so much#// collei vc: also i did come into your town and commit homicide so this is the least i can do

@steadfastspirits // weinlesefest starter !
Collei was ... hesitant.
She hadn’t stepped through Mondstadt’s gates since she had left to Sumeru, yet walking through it again ? It felt like ... returning home. When she evaluates the feeling, it’s a strange one. She had only been here for a week at most, her time of which had made her face a swordsman of ice and her own harsh residue.
It reminds her of the harsh feeling as it was sealed away, the way that it had tore at her core.
But it also reminded her of festival food, of gliding past the large statue of a god, of the first shot of a slingshot -- hitting the target despite the way her hands shook and waved.
So, when Collei received the letter from Amber requesting to see her again, to visit this festival. Well ... she decided that she had turned away one too many, and this was the time that she would accept.
Glancing around, Collei couldn’t say that she was too terribly familiar with Springvale, but she could tell that the place had been adorned to the nines, the smell of festival food immediately drawing her in.
Hadn’t Amber said she would meet her here ? Collei glances around, hoping to catch sight of the familiar red bow. Oh boy ... it had been a long time, hasn’t it ? What if Amber had changed ? What if she didn’t recognize her ? She had gone through a bit of a growth spurt ...

Tilting her head upward, Collei would flush in embarassment for a moment, scratching the back of her head, ❝ Itto mentioned that, huh ? ❞
Folding her hands behind her, they held her steady against the rope bridge that connected the pieces of Gandharva Ville together. Considering the question, ❝ I suppose so ... it’s just so easy to get lost in the words. ❞
They helped her immensely in her literacy, each page begging for her to learn faster so the story would unravel more naturally.
Then the offer, Collei would blink a bit -- surprised before nodding quickly, ❝ Yes ! If you don’t mind ... ❞ A glance at the potential future volumes of series before anyone else ? How could she turn that away ? Though, her face falls for a moment. Almost ... embarassed.
❝ Um ... I read kind of slow, if that’s alright. I like to ... absorb the words, and get a bit too invested sometimes ! ❞ A small white lie, she hopes that Kuki wouldn’t mind too terribly.
@sproutrebirth – ;
“So, what’s this I hear about you liking light novels, Collei-chan?”
It wasn’t difficult to be invested in the Forest Rangers’ youngest member; ever since Shinobu had been conscripted as an off-record volunteer, many had made comments speculating whether or not the two girls were related. Or, at the very least, long-lost relatives. Although Shinobu naturally hadn’t been entirely privy to Collei’s past, but she imagined that it had been as difficult as her best friend’s, Itto. But, the way Kuki saw it, his story didn’t need to be repeated into perpetuity. With the right people, it could be mitigated and changed altogether.
“Keep this a secret, but I took on some manuscripts to edit recently. I was wondering if you wanted to help me with them.”
