@devitamors asked: what are you trying to prove ? ( :) kaeya @ diluc )

↪ 𝑴𝑶𝑹𝑩𝑰𝑫 ᶜᵘʳᶤᵒˢᶤᵗʸ . | late but accepting!

he'd asked himself the same question during his travels, and the answer changed quite often. that he was loyal, that he could avenge his father, if he could do this, if he could do that...but being asked the question made diluc sigh and glance over to his brother.

"with what? leaving mondstadt? or helping with the stormterror incident, despite not being involved with the knights? or my nightly activities? you have to be more specific, sir kaeya. i'm not a mind reader."

ask a blunt question, get a blunt answer. actually, that did make diluc wonder why kaeya would ask such a simple question in the first place. usually, his antics were more -- subtle. teasing. poking at the bear, so to speak.

"you know, maybe you wouldn't be locked out so often if you remembered your key more often." even so, there was a bit of shamelessness in the way he pulled out the pair's entangled keys, detangling them before returning kaveh's key to its owner. "or perhaps that keychain is simply more trouble than it's worth."

@devitamors asked: where’s your sense of adventure ? ( kaeya @ coryn ! )

"i left that back in the teapot," coryn joked, even as he looked down from their perch.

it was much higher than he was normally used to gliding from, and a part of him couldn't help but think about his older brother's fear of heights. maybe, maybe he was finally getting it, now that the safety of seatbelts and roller coaster locks weren't present. or maybe it was like everything else in teyvat, and he just needed to try it.

of course, the treasure chest that he could see sparkling down there was too alluring to pass up.

preparing his glider, coryn added, "y'know, it's one thing to glide from the barbatos statue, but this is a whole other story...are you sure we can make that?"

@devitamors asked: everyone has people that they’re cosmically bound to . ( @ hm. kae, mayhaps )

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑶𝑶𝑫 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬 𝑺𝟒 . | not accepting!

that starry eye glanced over at the earthling, before he shrugged. a chuckle escaped him, one that he hoped wasn't too forced, wasn't a botched attempt to hide his true feelings.

"is that a way to say you feel attached to xiao? i can certainly see it." a smirk eased on his features, pleased that he'd found such an easy way to deflect the topic. "the two of you act like an old married couple. why, if you'd told me you knew each other in a past lifetime, i wouldn't question it!"

yes, this would work. besides, to be cosmically bound to something was to be cosmically destined to fail; how else could he explain what had happened with his brother, what happened with his biological father?

fate was a mistress of trickery, and kaeya knew full well that she held no favorites.

@devitamors​ asked: do you think last night was a mistake? ( @ xiao! )

RANDOM QUESTION PROMPTS | accepting!

last night, when they’d confessed their feelings, after having kept them silent for so long. the tension between them wasn’t like the sort that was described in the bards’ tales, of passion and fire, but one of nervousness and anxieties.

the next day, though, xiao looked over at alex in a new light. his mind felt clearer, or perhaps it was the knowledge that they were on the same page as more than merely teammates pursuing a single goal, but...partners. partners! something he would have derided a century ago was now reality. and yet...

"no. not at all.” he paused, before awkwardly taking her hand, squeezing it gently. bosacius was better at comforting others, even before their numbers had dwindled, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t try. “there’s a lot of things in my life that i regret, alex. last night will never be one of them.”
