          ❝  --- Well. That’s easy.  It’s  ██████ ❞

[calvariis]

viisiond​:

            Ah it felt nice to be back in the warmth and safety of the Dawn Winery, even if he had an uninvited guest laying in their former bed- Diluc wasn’t about to kick him out. Not again, not after everything that had happened a night prior… And then some.

      But he was glad to be home, and he was at least glad Kaeya survived whatever bullshit he thought he was pulling. (What would have happened if he didn’t intervene beforehand…? Surely he would have lost another family member…)

         “Tell Elzer that this shipment of Dandelion wine needs to go towards Angel’s share, we also have a shipment of regular wine for the Cat’s tail as well as some for Liyue, if we have issues with getting through Stone gate have him come to me and I will deal with it.” His voice could be heard from the stairwell as he instructed some of his workers to alert the man in question about all of this, finally making his way up to Kaeya’s room- pausing and hesitating to open a door he hadn’t opened since they were still kids (as he had passed off his brother to Adelinde once he returned) but he pushed past it and turned the knob- opening the door to see his brother starting to sit up.

                            “Are you stupid?”

          He didn’t move from the door but instead leaned against the doorframe and only gave him a frown. Why was he trying to move and sit up when he should have been sleeping? But he just shook his head and went to the desk off to the side before sitting down at the chair, back facing work he had been doing while waiting for Kaeya to wake.

      “Guess I should also follow that up with- do you want to reopen everything I so carefully seared shut? Just as careless as ever it seems.” He motioned a hand in his direction and frowned, “Lay back down. Now.”

              And already bracing himself, hearing the voice from outside the room he’d found himself in, he already knew what to expect.  He’d known Diluc long enough to understand his reactions, how he’d handle things --- but he was sure the same held true for Diluc.  Afterall, they used to be close... like brothers. 

                          Sad to see such a strong bond turn so brittle, chipping away with every moment that passed by them.  And to think, all of it was his fault; from the very beginning. 

                --- Aaaand there it was. The brash comments he’d anticipated. The captain couldn’t lie, though.  There was something about them coming from Diluc that caused him to feel a little warm-hearted as sharp as his words could stab. Comforting? Maybe it’s because they came from a place of concern... how sweet caring for his little brother.

                Although, he wasn’t exactly lying.                      He’ll assume that was a rhetoric.

                             ❝ Right... I almost forgot about that. ❞  he quipped, a bit sarcastically at that. How could he? The burning was still in the back of his mind, the smell of seared flesh and hot blood stuck in his memory.

                                But despite his witty comment, he was grateful. Without Diluc, he was sure he’d meet his demise there on that mountain.  Whether it be from blood loss or freezing to death, it was a close second between them. 

                He goes to laugh, his usual airy laugh, but a sharp pain in his ribs would cause him to jolt forward and clench his jaw tightly.  Teeth twisting into eachother like gnashing vines. 

                 He supposed he’d save his jokes for when he still wasn’t at the mercy of his brother -- at least mostly.  So he concedes, taking a moment before he laid back down and feeling the pillow beneath his head.

                                        ❝ Aww... I didn’t know you cared so much, Diluc. ❞ But then again, his worst habit was not knowing when to stop sometimes.  But despite his little joke, he doesn’t seem to carry the same amount of energy and playfulness as he usually did.  In its place there was exhaustion.

[calvariis]

✧   @viisiond​

          --- And the first thing he took in upon opening his eyes was the soft atmosphere of a familiar setting.  Nostalgic, even.  He barely processed the ache in his arm and ribs, Dragonspine being a forgotten and temporarily distant thought as he focused on the softness beneath him... 

                     it was nothing like the icy cold ground of that dreadful mountain, filled with a lonely and melancholic air amidst the snow.  Somehow, though, it was comforting to have been its GUEST---

            He shifts after a little while of settling in, causing a grunt to escape parted lips.  Ah, that was not something he missed.  Pain--- a deep ache along his back reminding him of the camp.  Right...

      So, where was he now...?  How long had he’d been out? Seeing as his wounds had been dressed, and he was in the safety of what he once called home, he could only assume Diluc was not far.  But of course, against his better judgement, the Cavalry Captain begins to sit up; ignoring the pain that ran through him like lightning.

                                              ❝Nng-- Maybe... It’s worse than I thought. ❞  passing his comment off with a light chuckle in his words; his usual treatment of serious situations being thrown under the bus.  Laughter to mask the pain tearing through him.

[viisiond]

“I’m afraid I’m a bit busy tonight. Terribly sorry.”

[calvariis]

          --- The start of an amused chuckle leaves his lips, the small crease at his mouth further telling that instead of disappointment he was presenting... amusement.            ❝     ---- A bit busy? Too busy to join me for a glass of wine?❞

        gloved hand coming upwards and knuckles pressed against his cheek, the Captain shifts sights to the side for a moment.  Thinking; something Kaeya was unusually gifted at --- surely nothing but mischief could come from him.

            ❝ The seat next to me will get so cold at the tavern... But if you insist.❞ 

[calvariis]

            ---- ❝ Woah there, why the HURRY? ❞

[calvariis]

         whoops. where have i been? ... well. im here now. maybe?

[calvariis]

viisiond​:

              Uh oh…guess she was in trouble- but she couldn’t help it! All Klee wanted was some snacks, but mid bite into a sunsettia had her pausing- “…..Uh-oh.” She quietly placed the sack back in his hands but held her snack- it was only polite since she DID take a bite….

      “Klee’s sorry Mr. Kaeya, I just wanted a snack! Making bombs is hard!!”

              Ah, so it was Klee.  Of course, she had good intentions -- what child didn’t, though? To be so blissfully unaware of things, but a child was whimsical in nature.  Surprised look turning to change into a smile, a breathy laugh to follow as if to say not to worry. 

                ❝   I can only imagine! You’re working very hard, i’m sure! Just remember what I told you, though-- ❞ he holds up a finger as he kneels down to her height, playful glint appearing in his eye.

             ❝  --- You remember, don’t you? ❞

[calvariis]

      long weekend coming up. will i be here? I’ll sure try!

[calvariis]

         reminder that Kaeya does his best to be a good person despite his more cynical and darker personality traits. Will he be there for you? Always. If you need him, just let him know.

I’m at work currently, and I will try my best to reply to things when I get home. But I need to voice how much I love Kaeya and how interesting and faceted of a character he is. Honestly, so many of the characters are brilliantly written into the world of Genshin, but Kaeya absolutely has my entire heart.
