That time was needed for him to forget the heaviness of that nightmare which still rested over his very being. He knew how easily it would be for Moze to flee, he did live in the shadows after all. His presence and reassurance was the one thing that he needed right now. If only that recurring nightmare would disappear into thin air.
He knew that Moze heard him, the small way of speaking was enough to tell him that. Moze was someone who always listened to what he and Feixiao had to stay even when he was being lectured. Even when Jiaoqiu was teasing him which was a normal occurrence when it comes to Foxians. They are the type to play tricks depending on the person.
A small smile, his grip releasing the shadow's hand. "I could use a cup. The blend is sitting on the counter by the tea set. You can have some also if you would like, Moze."
Kaveh started silently across the divan.
Stared. Staaaaared. Then-
"...c'mere."
He hardly waited for a response before scooting forwards and reaching out. Then, gently, he tousled the Scribe's hair in his hands, the way he once had years ago.
It was still so soft...just like back then-
A quiet moment. A book resting between his hands that had Alhaitham's attention since it was one of the few he had recently picked up. The description had been enough to catch his attention, he thought that it sounded interesting enough. Books was always something that helped him pass the time.
A turn of the page. Feeling that familiar lingering stare while he was about to ask if Kaveh needed something.
That was until he felt his hands ruffle through his hair before his gaze left the page to look at him. There must be a reason why Kaveh decided to run his fingers through his hair.
"Is there something wrong with my hair, Kaveh?"

"I can feel your tension from here." Jiaoqiu knew that Moze wasn't like the others when it came to trying to relax, he was always on edge especially when he was being protective. He had plenty of reasons to be protective of him, his lack of eyesight being one of those reasons.
A gentle smile "I can hear it, it sounds like it flowing nicely over the stones." He allowed Moze to guide him through the path that was laid out in front of them, he did stay close to him despite the close quarters that they were in. "Thank you for letting me know, I don't mind that you still want to hold onto me." Fingers moved to find the stone railing feeling the stone that now rested underneath his grip, one of the many senses he had to rely on now. He was glad that Moze was the one guiding him and not some random stranger.
He would consider this to be a date, he wanted them to have some time to themselves without anyone interrupting them. They deserved to have that time especially after everything that had happened.
Jiaoqiu was going to keep his hand lingering against Moze's arm for as long as he was allowed to without overstepping.
"What colors are the leaves?" His ears flickered at the sensation of Moze's hand brushing close to his ears to stop the leaf that had come a bit too close to him. A smile at the thought of receiving a flower from him "That's okay, it's the thought that counts my dear crow." There would be plenty of other opportunities for Moze to give him a gift, his presence and warmth was enough for him.
"They sound lovely. Too bad, I don't have a treat to give them."
"You'll have to find a way to avoid my hearing first, but I know that you will be up for a challenge." It was a challenge for anyone to try to sneak up on Tighnari because of those ears of his. He would always pick up on Cyno's presence even before he was in view whether it was by the sound of his footsteps or his heart beating.
It would take time if there was a chance at all for Cyno to escaping his ears, maybe training with Sethos would help.
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes before writing some more words across the page that was opened in his journal. "Maybe another one will help stop those senses of yours again." There had been a few jokes that have gotten Tighnari to laugh in the past or giving a small snort before he caught himself. He didn't need to give Cyno that ego.
It was easy to get him to smile because the electro user did make him smile. Cyno made him happy despite those awful jokes that did make an appearance sometimes. "I get it, Cyno. The last thing I want to do is resist you." Ears flickered at the mention of the fungi before he glanced seeing the one that Cyno had spotted. "Ah, I guess that one escaped me. You are right though, it does look nice."
There was no rush to visit the city, but today was the best day for them to go since it had been planned. Tighnari would still worry about Collei, but it was a relief that the disease no longer bothered her. She still needed to know her limits though and the ways to make sure that she doesn't overdo it. The reason why the Valuka Shuna was making sure that she was learning everything he knew. She was still a Forest Ranger in training after all. He knew that she would be fine especially when he received a full-fledged hug, a hug that told him she was free that from horrible disease. Collei would always be under his care though since he was the one that raised her after all. She was family.
A chuckle escaped from him while it seemed like a harmless dream especially with the appearance of the aranara that were in it. Even if the aranara looked liked themselves. "It sounds like the aranara wanted to show you something cute, they wanted to give you a good dream." Tighnari shifted moving to rest his hand on top of her head for a moment "Let's go, you did say that there were some things you wanted to pick up."
Jiaoqiu wasn't going to tease him about being caught knowing that it wouldn't be hard since this illness was affecting him. He had been teased plenty by him so far, but there was a chance that he would tease him again. The Foxian was someone who did have a teasing manner especially with the people he was close to.
"Mind your step."
A simple laugh, but it did show the feelings that Jiaoqiu decided to show during that moment.
Ears flickered listening to Moze's footsteps to make sure that he wasn't going to stumble despite the lack of eyesight he did have. He did understand if he wasn't able to walk correctly because of the exhaustion that was dragging him down. Because of the illness that was making things difficult for him, but he was in good hands because of him. Jiaoqiu would make sure that he would recover. He would make sure that he wouldn't have to worry about falling even if his hands were full.
Jiaoqiu was there to support him after all. He would be there for him.
Once they were back in the room, he moved to find the nearby table to place the tray down since he wanted to check Moze's temperature first. He wanted to see how high his fever was. The messed up sheets were the least of his worries, he wanted to take care of his beloved crow instead.
Moze just needed to focus on himself. He needed to rest, eat his food and take any medicine that was offered to him.
A gentle smile feeling that tug before he moved to sit on the edge of the bed, brushing his hair back just enough to rest his hand against his forehead. He wasn't too thrilled about the warmth that he did feel. "Such a needy crow, I'm not going anywhere."
“It was the weirdest dream I’ve ever had. I’d like a word with my sub-conscious’s manager.” (From Collei to Tighnari~!)
random dialogue … sentence starters |still accepting|
The promise to take Collei into town for the sake of shopping to find the toys that she wanted to buy. A promise that Tighnari was willing to keep especially since she was no longer plagued by eleazar, she was healthy. It was a relief since the Valuka Shuna no longer had to worry about her illness flaring up, but he would still worry about her. She had been under his care since the moment that Cyno brought her to him those years ago.
She was like a daughter to him after all. Tighnari wouldn't hesitate to make sure that she had everything she needed even over the smallest thing. He would get for it or even reach out to Cyno if they were unable to make the trip to town because of the work that needed his attention as a Forest Ranger. There was always something that needed his attention or if Cyno needed his help with something. The trust between one another was a strong one, a bond that wasn't going to be broken easily.
After making sure that he had everything he needed, he turned to Collei "Are you ready to go?"
With that, the trip into town was started while Tighnari did test Collei's knowledge to see what she did remember from the recent lessons. There was always something new when it came to being a Forest Ranger, there was always something that he could teach her while learning new knowledge himself. Especially when it came to taking interest in a specific field like with his knowledge of the lives that belongs to plants and animals.
A blink. A flicker of his ears toward the sudden words that escaped from Collei's mouth. Words that sounded like something that Cyno would have said.
"Remind myself to remove that joke book from Cyno's possession for awhile. What was your dream about?"
"don't worry, don't worry, we're going to get you fixed up. good as new." (Kaveh to Haitham)
It was another trip to the desert because of the information that was sent to Kaveh and Alhaitham, information that held interest for the both of them. The languages and reading material that the scribe would be able to take a peak at if there was anything worth finding. For Kaveh, the architecture would have his interest since this place would be filled with architecture created in the past. He could spend hours looking at the stone walls that held up the ruins which called the desert home. Sumeru's past was always an interesting one, he even took interest when tales of the Aranara were mentioned. Mainly because Alhaitham was able to see them unlike the others who called Sumeru home.
random dialogue … sentence starters pt. ?
“You look hungry.”
“This… what is this?”
“How’d you find out?”
“Are you catching a cold?”
“That’s very questionable.”
“Do you ever just shut up?”
“Oh, I don’t like the looks of this.”
“Oh no, you sweet summer child.”
“… You don’t actually get it, do you?”
“You look like you haven’t slept in days.”
“Did you actually walk all the way here?”
“There’s nothing wrong with speaking up.”
“You don’t deserve to be treated like that.”
“Don’t you think you’re taking this too far?”
“Why do you let them talk to you like that?”
“I love this so much. I could do this all day.”
“What made you think this was a good idea?”
“No, sorry, that’s really not a good look for you.”
“You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for.”
“I care about you. This isn’t going to change that.”
“Next you’ll tell me you’re a superhero in disguise.”
“I often find myself questioning how you’re still alive.”
“I know you were just crying. Your eyes are still puffy.”
“Seriously? You’re just gonna sit there and do nothing?”
“Respect is earned. And you still have a long way to go.”
“You don’t have to make it up to me. It wasn’t your fault.”
“I don’t think you’re grasping the severity of the situation.”
“You thought it couldn’t get any worse. Well, it got worse!”
“I think my mind has gone places it will never fully recover from.”
“Just because you’re brave doesn’t mean you need to be reckless.”
“I know you’re going through a rough time. Can I get you anything?”
“So, you’re telling me, if you had the chance to change it, you wouldn’t?”
“You had multiple chances to reconsider this choice. And you still made it.”
“I don’t know what’s going on with you, but you need to get your act together.”
“It was the weirdest dream I’ve ever had. I’d like a word with my sub-conscious’s manager.”
I decided to have a lazy day yesterday and today besides getting caught up on the Sumeru event, but now I am going to work on muse things for a bit. Add the characters that I have been wanting to add and give some fun updates to the ones that I have on this blog already.
Because of his personality, Alhaitham is a notorious ragebaiter who won’t hesitate to use to his advantage even though that side of his tends to happen naturally even over the smallest conversation.
I am away at a anime con right now, tomorrow is the last day though but I am debating about adding two new muses to this blog. I haven't fully decided yet but I might start working on those once I am back home on Monday.
Those nights were never lonely when Moze was able to be by his side, he could always tell when he was nearby. He could hear him. He could pick up on that subtle scent that tended to appear when he had laid down for the night. It did make those nights easier sometimes knowing that he was safe because of that familiar presence. A thought that sometimes will help chase the nightmares away, but tonight it was unavoidable. One had appeared digging those claws into him. A nightmare of a memory that never was going to let go of him fully because of those fierce claws and teeth that once gripped him tightly. He had managed to survive, but the damage had been done. Jiaoqiu had healed physically, but the mental scars and his lack of eyesight was something that couldn't be undone so easily. That memory was always going to be there.
The Foxian tightly gripped Moze's hand before resting his forehead against it taking another moment to get his bearings straight. He needed to clear his thoughts as the tension slowly started to disappear from his rigid form. A small nod taking in the reassurance from those words. Taking in the reassurance from Moze. "Safe, yes... He is gone. Just my mind playing tricks on me."
Jiaoqiu knew deep down that Hoolay could never return, that Borisin would never be able to return. He would never be able to dig his claws into another Foxian. Those words most likely were something that Moze would have to continue to repeat for quite awhile.
"They do, they appear when they want to." Alhaitham gave a nod at the question. "I can, they come in different colors and shapes."
It was true that he was someone who did rely on logic when it came to explanations behind everything that surrounded Sumeru. He knew that they existed, he had heard and seen countless tales when it came to them.
He had spoken the truth about the Aranara even though people were quick to brush it off as just another story that belonged to the pages of a book. He had never told any lies to Kaveh since he was the last person that he would hide anything from. Alhaitham was an honest person even if he spoke a bit too bluntly to others depending on the situation, it was the reason why it was difficult to get along with anyone from the Akademiya here.
Alhaitham was one of the select few who could see them still. There was nothing wrong with Kaveh though, he wasn't the only one who couldn't see the Aranara anymore.
He did resist the urge to roll his eyes feeling that gentle pinch, one of the many ways that Kaveh did still tease him. But he was younger after all, Kaveh was his senior "They like the books and the treats that I bring them. They like listening to me read."
He didn't think that anyone would be jealous because of his ability to see the Aranara, a childish wonder of his for the sake of wanting to learn more about their world. To learn about their home. Alhaitham wanted to learn as much as he possibly could.
"You can get what you wish to eat, I can wait to read besides don't you have something to talk about?" Alhaitham didn't mind waiting to read the book that lingered between his fingers despite wanting to learn more about what was written among the pages. Kaveh was an important one to him, someone who he would put a book aside to listen to. Mostly when he had something to share.
Such a needy crow while the amount of time that Jiaoqiu spent in the kitchen wasn't too long. They were possessive of one another though.
It was a promise that he would soon return with the promised meal to help Moze recover from the illness he was dealing with. He was concerned, yes but he knew that Moze would be okay with his helping hand. The duties that the both of them had would have to wait until the Foxian would allow him to return once he was free from this sickness. He did want him to speak up, he did want him to share his thoughts even over the smallest matter since he deserved to share his opinions. Jiaoqiu wanted to know Moze's thoughts and feelings.
Jiaoqiu wanted him to make his own decisions, he was allowed to think for himself even with the loyalty that was there toward him and Feixiao. He wouldn't see as making those decisions as disobedience even if that decision was made during a difficult situation. He did understand the urge to want to see him even though he wasn't that far away, only just a short walk apart.
The door remained halfway open just in case Moze needed something as he had busied himself in the kitchen. His presence being the only thing that his beloved crow wanted at the moment.
Fingers were quick to balance the tray to keep the warm food from falling to the floor, the request that Moze had being fulfilled.
If only he had been quicker with making his decision.
A smile. A chuckle. "I wasn't going to be gone long, but I'm here now. Let's get you back into bed so you can eat and rest."
Loyal to a fault while those three simple words would hold plenty of meaning between the two of them because of the lingering bond. He trusted Moze fully allowing the other to lead him across the ground that rested underneath their feet. It was difficult to trace Moze when he lingered in the shadows especially because of the skill that he honed over time. They weren't a threat though.
Once the ground rested beneath his feet once more, his ears flickered listening to their surroundings for just a moment. His fingers moved to intertwine with his feeling that warmth he knew quite well.
"That does sound nice, you can describe the area to me as we walk or if there is something that catches your attention." He would have to rely on Moze's words about the area that they were standing in alongside his hearing and sense of smell. Any shared words would tell him how the surrounding area looked if there was anything of interest nearby.
This would be one of the many experiences that the two of them would be able to experience. He wouldn't be upset if Moze decided to continue to carry him through these streets.
He relied on Moze's guiding hand to help lead him through the streets to the destination that he had in mind. The tension could be felt telling Jiaoqiu that he was suddenly on guard while there was nothing to cause any concern heard by his ears. He gave that hand a gently squeeze to give some reassurance. "Relax Moze, we're fine here."
