                            𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄 perhaps serves to hide some murderous intent as the harbinger slithers his way into the booth       &     situates at his hip,       the 𝚜𝚗𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚗  —   angel's share,       the bar,       a disgracefully withering tree in a manmade heaven  —  turning 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝:       much too bitter for the tip of his tongue,       suddenly,       &        he sets his glass coldly atop the table.        He hums,       eying the floors dusted        &        clean even at this hour,       the vintage wood        &        ornate wainscotting adorning the walls.        

                            It's not that he recognizes the portrait forebears hung on the upstairs floors out of the eyes of 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚒𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚗 𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚜 entwining himself in a legacy of blood        &        redeemable only in blood     or that he has any respect for the man behind the counter who has rag in hand         &        shines an empty wine glass as though he could change the shape of the bowl if he commits enough in so much as the ghost of the man that sometimes peers through the terse pinch of his brows     as if the strix himself a supplicant of 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬,       a spectre of lines at corners of his eyes        &         the details that have escaped him in the solemn passage of years twisting         &         righting in the eviscerating pulse of the gaslamps like a 𝚌𝚘𝚐𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢 for him to reach out descry that stop him from dirtying the floorboards with 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞’𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝.        Kaeya flicks the corner of a coin against the bottom of the cup,       a lost toll drowned in the gossip of drunkards.        

                            ❛        my,       a harbinger in mondstadt.        surely i don’t owe the honor ?        ❜          he says lightly,       but his face is starkly blank beneath the smile.        all fall innocence.        𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐛.        He drags the glass across the table        &        to his lips,       slinging his arm over the back of Childe’s chair,       making himself comfortable          &          mouthing a faint   ‘ ah ’    as he sets the wine down        &        smiles once more —   brightly,       this time,       as if there’d never been sign of malice to start.        ❛         why,       it’s no matter —   a friend being all the way out here is a cause to celebrate,       wouldn’t you agree ?        consider your first drink on me.        ❜
