apologies for disappearing. some serious shit hit the fan at work and idk if i'll have a job in a month. so... yeah. probably gonna be quiet for the next few weeks while i deal with that stress and apparently job hunt

[inteyvat]

these neuvilette = hydro sovereign leaks definitely do not have me contemplating a sovereign oc. nope. i'm not researching dragon myths this morning. not at all.

[inteyvat]

can we just talk about the way lyney couldn't decide if he's a good person or not even if his life depended on it ?? he would like to believe he's a good person —-- and will say so if asked--— , but also knows he's done some decidedly illegal and morally questionable / reprehensible things in his day. some can be reasoned away as necessary for survival ( himself or his family ). others can't. some were done for noble reasons. others weren't. let's just say he prefers to live in the moment and hopefully in this moment, he is a good person.

SEND A WORD AND I WILL WRITE A DRABBLE ABOUT OUR MUSES  // accepting

candlelit shadows dance across the floor of the shared house ; silent save the soft sound of pages turning , pen scribbling on paper , and kaveh's occasional muttering. enter alhaitham. though his steps may be naturally quiet , the scribe cares little about maintaining the tranquil environment ; a fact abundantly evident in the volume with which he proceeds to speak.

❝ it's midnight , kaveh. ❞ though unexpected words see the architect in question nearly jump off his chair , alhaitham chooses to ignore it and continue with the intended line of questing. ❝ what are you still doing up ? ❞

the question falls on unhearing ears for keveh has already started his scolding by the time the words are voiced. ❝ my goodness , alhaitham !! what are you doing sneaking up on me like that ?!? you nearly gave me a heart attack ! ❞ hand lifts to his chest , further emphasizing just how careless and cruel he believes alhaitham's actions.

the dramatic appeal to pathos has little effect : a slow blink and half hearted eye roll. ❝ you didn't answer my question. ❞

the architect's shoulders slump , dreading the lecture he's sure will follow the answer. ❝ i'm working , obviously. --— it's this new project. the terrain is proving more difficult than anticipated so i'm behind schedule. already. i need a better way to stabilize the foundation , but everything is too destructive on the local environment and —-- ❞ alhaitham's hand extends , halting kaveh's rambling mid-sentence.

is that... a latte ? for kaveh ??

blonde eyebrow arches in a silent question , met with alhaitham's still stoic expression. ( yes , it's for you , kaveh ) ❝ it sounds like you need this more than i do. ❞ contrary to popular belief , the scribe is , in fact , aware of the needs of others. the problem is that he doesn't care enough to do anything about it. usually.

kaveh manages to utter a very grateful ❝ i—-- thank you ❞ as he reaches for the proffered caffeine. it's already somewhat cooled ( a happy coincidence of having been brewed 20 minutes prior for alhaitham himself ). eyes close in a moment of bliss the second the bitter liquid hits kaveh's tongue.

aaaand that's alhaitham's weekly quota of caring actions ; he'll turn to retreat to his room , pausing briefly in the doorway to call over his shoulder. ❝ you might try the schematics of safhe shatranj. that area of the desert is notoriously unstable yet the temple still stands. evidently the architect got something right. ❞

❝ thank you , alhaitham. ❞

[inteyvat]

@dhahabibi asked: “  it’s not contraband.  ”        alhaitham says,    holding a book that is clearly contraband. it's almost like he's waiting for you to ask how it's not, like he wants to give you all his reasons why having this in his possession makes more sense than you could ever assume. yes, you can tell this much from the dull look of his blueish-green eyes. ( @cyno )

the heavy sigh that follows those three words feels enough to rattle the mahamatra's very bones ; an involuntary physical expression of the utter exasperation coursing through veins. the scribe's ability to push cyno's buttons never ceases to annoy amaze. ❝ it is. and you know it. ❞ ( must we go through this every. single. time ?? )

❝ but feel free to plead your case ... again. ❞  were it anyone else , there would be no discussion ; but the scribe has proven himself worthy of at least some amount of trust ... for now.

He pondered what the other said quite a bit, taking his time before he answered. Granted, the general already had his response, he just wanted to draw out the allotted time as much as he could. Something about the Scribe had Jiguang wanting to ensue a bit of mischief. Just a little bit.

"Personally, I can't say I agree with your point," He remarked coolly. The general feigned contemplation, a hand resting on his chin as if he were in thought. With Sumeru being the nation of wisdom, one would think there was less focus on logic than say actual experience and reasoning. "It lacks true experience, anyone can read a book and understand the logic behind it, but is there true knowledge in merely reading? Shouldn't one rely on their own experience for justification?"

@inteyvat | liked for a starter

[inteyvat]

hmph. so this is how it's going to be ? very well. ❝ i can see how you could come to that conclusion. certainly , fairy tales and light novels don't offer true knowledge , as you put it. and i'm not discounting the value in lived experiences. ❞ 

❝ however , books by akademiya scholars contain lifetimes of research and experience dedicated to their field of study. to disregard that knowledge as ' untrue ' simply because you did not experience it yourself would be beyond foolish. ❞ arms fold loosely , punctuating words with calm ( if somewhat detached ) confidence. ❝ to put it into terms you may be more familiar with , general : a battle strategy does not lose its efficiency because you learned it rather than lived it. the logic remains unchanged regardless of your experience with it. ❞   

❝ but if you need to learn the hard way ,   i certainly won't stop you. ❞

misc. body language meta.

hu tao's normal walk is bouncy and quick-paced , mirroring the levity with which she approaches most things in life. the one exception is during a ceremony / service for one of her clients though. then she intentionally softens and slows all of her gestures and speech patterns.

albedo carries thenselves with quiet confidence. their default standing posture is relaxed with hands clasped behind their back —-- or more accurately , one hand loosely gripping the other wrist.

when sitting , tighnari prefers to be able to wrap his tail to one side ( and may or may not curl his tail around lovers when standing beside them —-- sometimes just cuz , sometimes as a subtle territorial claim ).

off stage , lyney frequently mirrors others' body language back to them , using the influence of similarity to help gain their trust. people like those they perceive as similar to themselves and , as a result , find them more trustworthy.

alhaitham will often ( purposefully ) take up more space than strictly necessary. a wide stance in a crowd , one leg draped perpendicular over the other on a bench , hand on his hip with an elbow jutting out. it serves to keep people away , physically and socially.

kazuha has impeccable posture. seriously , he's the guy that you take one look at and suddenly feel the urge to stand a little taller , pull your shoulders back and down , carry your chin a little higher. you will never catch him slouching.

@astrcls asked : “ something bad is happening.” [ for albedo, from dan heng ! ]

from a meme i'm too lazy to track down // always accepting

though it's been a few days since the last incident , cleanup is still underway across the city —-- not enough to belie the serious threat facing mondstadt , but enough for a keen eye to determine something is off.  ❝ hmm , yes. very perceptive of you. ❞

arms fold loosely across their chest ; soft sigh precedes further explanation. where to begin ? ❝ i'm afraid mondstadt is not in the best state to welcome visitors. the city has recently come under attack from the dragon , stormterror. its attacks are growing more frequent ... and more severe. ❞ teal eyes begin to drift as they speak ( mental tally tracks unfinished repairs and where the alchemist may be of use ) and settle briefly on a half-repaired windmill before returning to dan heng.

❝ for your safety , i must insist you stay here no longer than necessary. ❞
