Her hand rises to her lips in thought; strange, why did she feel like he purposely changed the subject ⁇ Lumine hums, reflecting on her brief time in Mondstadt. She had spent so much time in Inazuma and Liyue, that even Paimon decided it was time for a visit. ❝ It was good; no looming dangers, no dragon sightings. ❞
A light-hearted response, somewhat. She really did mean it. So often did this occur that it had to become a running joke at some point; Lumine shakes her head at this thought. ❝ I did learn how to mix drinks at Angel Share, so now I’m a natural. ❞ And a moments ego boost, but not quite enough to rise an arrogant smile, and knowing, smug gaze.
Actually, she’s still rather curious about him. ❝ Are you planning to go back now that the Sakoku Decree has been lifted ⁇ ❞
❛ amazing , lumine ! ❜
he gives her a faithful pat on the shoulder , something proud , something meaningful . still , she reverts the subject back to mondstadt , to whether or not he’d venture there once more .
❛ well , i can’t say it hasn’t been on my mind . ❜
however , visiting a place where most of what he knew included loneliness , grief , & quietude . . . he has no one to see but the people he’s met here in inazuma . he wonders if it’s worth it . . . he’s changed so much from the quiet , shy , child he once was .
❛ i’d love to visit you there , of course . & some of the others i’ve met ! so , perhaps when i find the time . . . but , i’d hate to leave the kamisato’s unattended . . . ❜
I keep / a space for tenderness.
Carl Phillips, from “Stamina,” Reconnaissance (via weltenwellen)

❛ of course you are welcome . you are family , after all . ❜ because to him , there is no debt to be owed , but instead a strong bond of kinship which has permeated countless aspects of their lives together . thoma acts as though he is somehow beneath ayato , somehow lesser — ( & . ) while it is in some ways true , that commissioner holds a power that thoma could never dream of wielding , that his very presence commands a respect that thoma can only witness but never experience — within the estate he is just as respected , just as loved as his sister .
❛ you needn’t request permission . you know that i am most delighted to have you . ❜
❛ thank you , my lord . i will keep that in mind for next time . ❜
he smiles pleasantly , ever - content with his placement in working for the kamisato’s . they always had a way with making him feel welcome , making him feel like he belonged somewhere . with a world that abandoned him , he feels safe here , in their presence , as their housekeeper . he places the tea before him instead of handing it to him directly & grins in a feat of accomplishment . his hair is dripping from the outside rain , but only atop his clothing , so he supposes he doesn’t mind it . ❛ the weather is pretty bad out there ! if you need anything , i’ll work out the details so you don’t get wet . ❜

❛ better not to give up at all then , right ? ❜

“ Well, I am the Cavarly Captain of Mondstadt. ” It was spoken as-a-matter-of-fact, Kaeya wearing a playful smile. “ Oh? So you’ve been to Mondstadt before? ” There was some recollection buried somewhere. But Kaeya didn’t bother with any of those questions. “ Then perhaps you’re due for another visit. It is as it always has been, a city of freedom. A lot different to Inazuma, right? ”
❛ calvary captain , you say ? wow ! that’s mighty impressive ! ❜
& praise falls loosely from his lips , despite every bit of meaning ringing truth . he scratches the back of his neck , letting his fingers run through the shortness of his hair . ❛ it’s definitely different ! -- i should pay a visit , i suppose . i guess there’s just no one for me to see . heh . maybe i’ll come see you ! ❜
My skin smolders and throat flares with swallowed stars.

❛ well , well . welcome to inazuma , albedo ! ❜
& he speaks as if he has familiarity enough to know the other , despite having never met him preceding this moment . he extends his hand in a gesture of polite greeting & grins with a radiance beyond measure . ❛ looks like klee has gone off with the traveler , so i guess it’s just us for a while ! mind if i give you a tour ? ❜

❛ ever at your side , miss kamisato ! ❜
& he assures her of his devoted loyalty , only after she’d thanked him just for it . he sits across from her as they enjoy a hearty meal together , & offers himself in his entirety at her & her brother’s disposal .
❛ you know that i’d do anything for you two . ❜
@glttony | ☆ starter call
❛ hmm , guess i haven’t heard much about you from anyone ! ❜
& he sounds pleasant when he speaks , a familiar friendliness donning his features . his hands are placed casually atop his hips & he smiles looking onward , meeting the other’s gaze with a dutiful dazzle . ❛ say , why don’t you tell me about yourself ? we could even grab some tricolor dango while we’re at it ! ❜
@kangai | ☆ starter call
❛ it’s my pleasure ! anything for you , my lord . ❜
because the debt he feels he owes far outweighs any of the menial tasks he’s assigned with day to day . he’s ever thankful for the kamisato’s & how they have treated him since he happened upon them whilst bearing nothing but the clothes on his back . in this moment , thoma serves ayato his favorite milk tea & takes a pleasant seat aside him .
❛ i don’t mean to over - step , but -- well , mind if i join you ? ❜
@lumnius | ☆ starter call
❛ well , no . you’re not too far off the mark . ❜
there is still light in his tone of voice despite the subject matter at hand . the speculations of his past are brought to light & he doesn’t truly mind , as it’s not as though he truly has anything to hide . instead , it rather brings a vague discomfort . . . nostalgia very rarely came with a sense of pride or joy . ❛ i guess things are just different here in inazuma ! i’ve changed a lot since i was in mondstadt , after all . speaking of , haven’t you been recently ? how was your time ? ❜
he’s quite adept at steering conversations away from himself .

❛ my lord ! ❜
his formal address falls with the kindness of loose pollen in the wind , carried with the relief to guide it . he stands up from his seated position as to guide the kamisato to his intended place of residency . ❛ it’s great to see you back so soon . it’s been some time since you’ve had a moment to yourself . i’m sure you’re looking forward to it . ❜

❛ oh ! lady guuji ! ❜
delighted surprise is evident on his features as he lights up in her presence . there’s a distinct amount of nervousness that exists solely beneath his demeanor of camaraderie .
❛ i certainly didn’t expect to see you today ! ❜
he smiles pleasantly . ❛ how are you ? i hear the yae publishing house is really taking off these days ! in fact , i was thinking of buying a few books myself . got any recommendations ? ❜
