❝ it was just a dream. a bad dream. ❞ ❝ i’ve heard the rumor that you can’t stand me any more than the plague. ❞ ❝ you have to rest. we’ve still a long way ahead of us. ❞ ❝ mistakes are also important to me. i don’t cross them out of my life, or memory. ❞ ❝ i don’t remember what happened. only that i was frightened. ❞ ❝ that is my fate, my reason, my life. and it is not what i chose. it was chosen for me. ❞ ❝ remember, magic is chaos, art and science. it is a curse, a blessing and progress. ❞ ❝ it’s better to die than to live in the knowledge that you’ve done something that needs forgiveness. ❞ ❝ calmly, calmly, just don’t faint, i’m beside you. ❞ ❝ you are already dead. everything in you has already died. ❞ ❝ what the hell are you searching for? trouble? ❞ ❝ don’t you think that the time has come for more truthful confessions? ❞ ❝ difficult times are approaching. difficult and dangerous. ❞ ❝ look around you — there is crime and sin everywhere. ❞ ❝ this is no legend or fairy-tale. it is the truth. the sincere truth. ❞ ❝ it’s crap — all these princesses, sorceresses, destiny, love and fanciful tales. ❞ ❝ i lose a great deal of my charm when someone gets to know me better. ❞ ❝ he who fights by the sword dies by the sword. ❞ ❝ they say that it’s a bad sign…an omen. ❞ ❝ i will keep your secret. you have my word. ❞ ❝ let me remind you that spells are a serious matter. they are cast with grace and pride. ❞ ❝ did i wake you?

no one has escaped me yet. ❞ ❝ intolerance and superstition has always been the domain of the more stupid amongst the common folk. ❞ ❝ you like me? you have been good at concealing it up until now. ❞ ❝ why have you gone so red, crimson as a poppy? ❞ ❝ do you have to spoil everything you touch? ❞   ❝ i warrant that it is better to count yourself amongst those few than amongst everyone. ❞ ❝ magic is everywhere. all around us. easily accessible. ❞ ❝ you are interested in strange matters. you ask strange questions. ❞ ❝ life is a priceless gift and should be protected. ❞ ❝ you are not so remarkable as to make me fall on my knees and raise my eyes to the heavens. ❞ ❝ something tells me you are not the person i took you to be. ❞ ❝ this had to happen at some point. this had to happen. ❞ ❝ that’s everything?

“ Hey, let me help you with that. ” Kaveh is quick to take some of Collei's load, taking one of the larger serving dishes from off the kitchen counter before the girl can reach for it herself.

The dishes aren't necessarily heavy. Someone of Collei's age and size should be able to carry them without any trouble. Still, Kaveh can't help but want to take on some of the burden himself.

The architect is well aware of Tighnari's instructions to not allow her to carry anything that could break if dropped. Were the chief forest ranger in the kitchen with them and not in the dining room on the other side of the door, it's likely he wouldn't have let Collei carry any of the food out period.

However, Kaveh is not Tighnari and noticeably lacks the same level of rationale his friend has. Therefore he'll let Collei take out anything she wants out of the smaller dishes. If the food falls, Kaveh can always make more. If one of the expensive dishes breaks, well -- Kaveh's going to stay optimistic about that.

[visionheld]

@stillgrows : "Kaveh, was it?" he asked as he slid into the seat beside the other. Last night was more of a blur than Kaeya had intended, but he hadn't counted on meeting someone he'd hit it off with so well at the bar. What was meant to be just a drink or two to begin his research of the Sumeru alcohol industry became several, and he was beginning to wonder if people in Mondstadt could hold their liquor as well as he thought. He lifted a hand in a small wave toward the owner as they made eye contact before focusing his lone blue eye on Kaveh once more. "I hope your roommate isn't too mad at me. He did seem a little..." Here, Kaeya trailed off, but it wasn't due to a lack of words—no, it was deliberate, allowing Kaveh the space to reveal more about himself.

Sumeru city is by no means a small town. Still, those who reside here are not entirely immune from getting used to seeing familiar faces. Especially if you’re considered famous and renowned like Kaveh, most people seem to know who you are before you’ve even said a word of introduction. It doesn’t help that the architect tends to spend all his nights in the same tavern. Kaveh loves his life and where he lives it. As miserable as it can be, he wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even so, he would be lying if he said he wasn’t relieved to meet someone new for once. 

Meeting someone from an entirely different region of Teyvat is even more appealing. Kaveh isn’t entirely unfamiliar with Mondstadt, but he’s exclusively learnt about it in books. Meeting a local is an opportunity he doesn’t come upon often. So Kaveh had easily welcomed the other with open arms the night prior. 

Kaveh is just as welcoming as Kaeya ( Was it Kaeya? Truthfully the details of last night got hazy after the third glass of wine. ) approaches him a second time. The blonde smiles as Kaeya sits beside him, appearing in a warm and amiable mood. However that mood immediately sours the moment Alhaitham is mentioned.

“ Don’t get me started. ” Kaveh punctuates this with a swift swig of his wine, downing the entire glass in one gulp. When he speaks again there’s a slight slur in his speech. “Alhaitham’s a real…a real piece of work.”

He doubts Alhaitham is actually mad at Kaeya. Or if he was, the ire has long since passed. The scribe has an awful temper, but he rarely lets things linger like that. Grudges get in the way of logic and productivity. Most of the time for minor grievances he’ll just let it go. He just happens to have the most unpleasant personality on the planet and never forgets a damn thing. 

Besides, it’s not like Kaeya actually did anything wrong. He was just an innocent bystander. The mess last night was all Kaveh’s fault and Alhaitham knows that. If he were here now he’d probably say something irritating like ‘Kaveh’s emotional instability and alcoholism isn’t Kaeya’s responsibility.’ Kaveh can picture it so vividly in that insufferable know it all voice he has. 

But what does he know, huh? Kaveh bets Alhaitham doesn’t even know why he was so upset to start drinking in the first place. He bets he doesn’t know any of the fascinating things about Mondstadt that Kaeya told him last night. Bet he doesn't even know they make wine out of dandelion seeds over there.

No, he probably knows all that. That bastard knows everything.

“ Boss! ” Kaveh calls out to Lambad across the room, raising his empty glass. “ I'll have another! And keep them coming! ...Please. ”

The blonde only remembers his manners last minute, already too far gone to keep up appearances without a conscious effort. Ordinarily he wouldn't bother, but -- While he has his foreign acquaintance is beside him, he'd like to do his best to make a good impression. Though it might be too late for that, considering Kaeya was there to see Alhaitham throw Kaveh over his shoulder to take him home last night. Archons, what a mess...

Once his fifth glass is poured out and sipped from, Kaveh returns to his original subject.

“ I don't know why I ever decided to be friends with him back at the Akademiya. He's always been like this, bad tempered, rude, and stubborn. ”

“ You know I was pretty much his only friend back in those days. I guess I just...felt bad for him. He was so brilliant, even back then... But it felt like there was a vast desert of distance between him and everyone else. At the time, I think I just wanted to see if I could bridge that gap. But that was my mistake. ”

Kaveh scowls down at his reflection in the burgundy colored wine before downing it all again. He doesn't want to think about Alhaitham anymore tonight. He doesn't want to think anymore tonight period. He just needs to get a few more drinks in and it'll all fade away. It always does.

“ But enough about me... ” He offers Kaeya a lopsided smile, raising his elbow to the table and resting his face on his hand. “ I wanna know more about you! You're probably the most- ” Kaveh hiccups. “ --The most interesting person I've met since the traveler came to the city. What's it like being a knight? Being a calvary captain sounds so glamorous. But I imagine it has it downsides just like any other job. ”

“ Are you alright, Barbara? ” The question is spoken softly, a rare moment of gentility breaking through Diluc's brisk and blunt exterior.

Diluc clearly had held no reservations to resort to physical force when necessary, having personally removed the group of rowdy men from the premises. However, despite his evident concern, the nobleman makes no move to touch Barbara or get too close. Given the nature of the previous encounter, he suspects she could be overwhelmed or shaken. So he'll watch over her from a distance, something he's prone to doing for all of Mondstadt.

@visionheld​ / @unblot​​, from diluc : ‘  it’s almost as if you were never here.  ’ —— grave suggestions ( accepting )

        ❝ perhaps i wasn’t, ❞ a smile plays on a painted face. this should be a moment caught in eternal ink, kept in the boughs of libraries only to be brought out once a decade for a showing, a viewing, such that appreciators of fine art may recall it with fondness and argue over the true meaning of it.

        here is the scene : two brothers stand before an empty manor at the dawn of a new day whereupon the sins of the day ( the night ) prior are washed away by the dim lavender morning light. they stand apart, flanked by either side of the gate which leads down the path that they had once trodden, ground well—loved by their hurrying feet, their footprints long since worn away by time and grief. they are the same / they are not : one burning bright as the sun and swathed in darkness, the other deep as night wrapped in layers upon layers of frost. one ( red red red as blood red as the blood they had once spilled for each other red as the blood that their father spilled when he died ) stares at the house, determined, perhaps, and the other? the other stares at his brother, a smile playing on his painted face.

        where can meaning be drawn? what is the intention of the artiste? is this careless brush strokes or everything infused with meaning? is this their first or hundredth meeting in the past year? is there truly tension in both shoulders whereas one brother is smiling as if this is the most relaxed they have ever been, or is that simply how the artiste painted automatically.

        ——— see? a moment meant to be caught in eternity.

        KAEYA LOOKS AT HIS BROTHER, ( oh brother mine it hurts it hurts it hurts to look at you ) and feels a bone deep compulsion / something ancient and long dormant tender and bleeding and frozen over, burning with warmth from the inside out but, oh. it’s far easier to lean into goading, into needling, into pulling at the threads that hold diluc together and just begin to unravel them but ——— not too far. never too far.

        ( here is the awful truth : they could tear their brother apart, they know precisely how. but then ——— doesn’t diluc know just how to tear him apart, too? )

        ❝ who could say, really? ❞ kaeya turns and begins walking towards diluc, their smile widens at the way that his brother’s shoulders raise, tensing even further. oh, brother mine, you’ll work yourself into a FIT at this rate. ❝ you said it yourself, after all : you haven’t the faintest idea who lived with you all those years, ❞ it tears at their throat to say. I AM YOUR BROTHER I’M YOUR BROTHER WE ARE ALL BUT TWINS OUR LIVES INTERTWINED ——— diluc looks at him sharply / in response to his words spoken aloud? or had he heard the screams? an echo chamber, words ricocheting, never quite landing never quite settling. they will bear their teeth at each other, fling venom at each other, but not strike. not again.

        he does not know what drew diluc to this place, to what once was their home, a monument to their unbreakable bond, and how humorous that is to think about now, indeed. a monument that has been torn down, broken, split into pieces and given away ——— perhaps it is fate which drew them here in the early morning light / kaeya can feel exhaustion pulling at his bones, can see the outline of the dark knight hero’s mask beneath diluc’s coat. silly boy. my ridiculous brother.

        there is that aggravation in his burning eyes. there is that thing that lingers nearby hatred / but kaeya knows that it is not hatred that lies between them. WOULDN’T IT BE SO MUCH EASIER IF IT WERE? if only he could despise diluc, despise the whole of mondstadt and all of its people, be what he was born to be ——— if only love, pure, simple, straightforward LOVE had not changed him so.

        ❝ isn’t that why you sold this place, our father’s manor? ❞ the distance between them closes with every step / widens with every step. perhaps they can never again cross that chasm. no, there is no perhaps about it. ❝ it was full of ghosts, wasn’t it, brother? ❞ FATHER / BROTHER ——— would you believe them if they said they do not say it to cut, but because here they can? because it has been years since he could look at this man FACE TO FACE and know, deep in his very marrow, that this is his brother?

        ( here is the awful truth : they would never dare tear their brother apart / their secret keeper / his sole confidante. )

        diluc begins to turn to him, face set in a determined fury which lingers just beneath his porcelain skin. strange, how he seems to translucent and fragile in this early morning light, where once diluc had seemed unbreakable and strong. the starry eyes of the younger sibling. he looks as though he’s preparing himself for a FIGHT / and kaeya brushes by him, their hand landing on his shoulder for a fleeting moment. ( he remembers, once, that he had clung to diluc every time he stepped foot outside, desperate for his stability, terrified of falling into the sky. a lifetime ago. an eternity ago. ) they know without looking, even without touch, that diluc leaned away from him ——— wary. untrusting. it would hurt, it would hurt, if only kaeya hadn’t expected it.

        what a mess we’ve made out of love, brother. what a mess we’ve made out of this family out of this home out of our father’s grave but we can never go back, can we? we would never choose to go back, would we? here i am ——— ME, MYSELF, MY TRUE SELF, here : peel back my layers and know the rotten depths of my truth and know that you’ll love me still. the way that i love you still, though you should be my enemy, though i should feel NOTHING FOR YOU. remember how we ran together there, in that yard? remember how you found me crying there, beneath that tree? remember how i carried you to our homestead where our father waited when you twisted your ankle just down the way? remember / remember / remember. because i remember EVERYTHING.

        ❝ but then i suppose it’s almost as if you were never there either, master diluc. ❞

ID.  //  ♡.  //   A FIERCE HATRED UNFOUNDED.

She hates Diluc — he’s the reason Daddy doesn’t see her anymore.  If not for him, if not for the wine industry, he’d be a good daddy like she faintly remembers he was before Mama passed.  She knows it!  She has to believe it.  What he says — that his drunken neglect reflects his sober intentions, that her father remains responsible for his actions — has her cheeks flushing with anger, hands balling into shaking fists.  That can’t be true.  that would mean papa’s the one that’s hurt her.  “Don’t pretend like you care!  It’s all your fault he doesn’t take care of me, and — and I’m strong!  I can take care of both of us!”  As she more often than not needs to.  “I don’t need anybody!  And Daddy would never forget about me sober, so you’re lying!!”

when diona lashes out it’s not entirely unexpected. diluc is well aware that he’s not exactly in her best graces & has known she’s disliked him for some time. however the realization as to why is still rather fresh. therefore when the girl raises her voice the nobleman stiffens slightly, ruby red eyes briefly widening before he fixes his features back into his usual neutral expression. 

despite the fierceness of diona’s words & the vitriol they are spoken with, diluc is not hurt by them. her belief may be that it is his own fault but the words behind it make it clear that this is not the case. so the brief shift in expression is not done out of ego to his own pride but out of concern for the furious girl before him. ❛    if you insist on this being my doing, i doubt there’s much i could say to persuade you otherwise.    ❜  

diluc doesn’t see the point in arguing. people will believe what they want to believe. this is especially true of children. & her opinion of him matters little so long as she’s safe & being cared for. so that will be diluc’s priority now. he lowers himself slightly so he may speak closer to diona’s eye level, a more earnest look in his eyes as he speaks once more. ❛    --- but if there ever comes a time where you feel unsafe where you are, i implore you to get out of there as soon as possible. go to the knights of favonious headquarters & ask for grand master jean. i can assure you you’ll be in good hands with her.    ❜  

ordinarily it is against his better judgement to put faith in the knights...however in this particular circumstance diluc doubts diona would accept help from himself. & while he finds most of the knights inept, he does find jean trustworthy enough to assure the child is cared for. therefore it is her he will trust diona to should the day come where she must flee her home.

“My daddy’s a really great person!!  It’s not his fault that he ——”  Gets distant?  Passes out, needs her to take care of him?  It’s not his fault that she takes care of herself because he’s often too drunk to remember that he’s supposed to?  “It’s wine’s fault, not his!”

diluc is quiet as diona trails off, his impassive expression unchanging as he makes a mental note to look into draff’s background more properly.  ❛    what is it that your father does?   ❜  the nobleman speaks with his usual briskness, however even so his tone is a bit softer than it was a moment ago, almost sympathetic sounding.  ❛    while alcohol can cause others to act out, oftentimes their behavior reflects the person’s sober mind as well. & even so your father is still responsible for his own bad behavior.    ❜  a beat & diluc’s lips curve into a frown. when he speaks again his voice is even softer, cautious of the chance of them being overheard.  ❛    do you feel safe there? with your father i mean?    ❜

❝ YOU EITHER ?  I ONLY KNOW ‘cuz it’s what my dads have told me. ❞  then : a lightbulb moment,  ❝ woah, wait !  what if you came from the forest ?  y’know, born from the earth like me, but with grass & stuff.❞

a furrowed brow appears on razor’s features, a dull sort of ache in his chest as he contemplates the nature of his origin. he doesn’t like to think about it too much. because then razor only becomes more confused about who he is & where he’s meant to belong. ❛    don’t know. been with lupical for as long as i remember.   ❜  the wolves are likely the only ones who’d have any idea where razor came from. funny that he’s never thought to ask.

     ❝ WANNA KNOW A FUN FACT ?  i was found all alone in an empty, fiery wasteland as a baby !!  cool, right ?❞

❛    cool...    ❜  razor echoes. his voice sounds contemplative, almost like he doesn’t know what the word means.  ❛    razor doesn’t remember where he came from.    ❜
