' tomoe. ' smothered and nestled into vibrant silks, the tips of yan qing's fingers graze against the pink-red folds of peony, then the bittersweet greenery of mulberry leaves. when the noblewoman turns, there's a mixture of fondness and twinging sorrows. captivity ached, but companionship did not, particularly when it was as ever-pleasant as the other's. this was the sort of thing that produced a deep, intimate trust, if only between them. still, yan qing had no intention of voicing her woes, nor her feckless, irresponsible whimsies of freedom; perhaps, soon, someday, but not just yet. instead, it was enough to quietly ask where orders weren't necessary. her nails trim and sever a peony head from its stem. turning with it in hand, approaching with this sole-bloom bouquet, she quietly smiles. ' our tomoe. my tomoe. do you like the sound of anything like that? or, if i put this peony in your hair ... would you accept it? perhaps, not just out of duty as someone hired by the manor, but just from myself. me. ' every day, the same wretched flora. the same awful view. and yet, ' i want to see the flowers bloom in your hair. i think it would be very beautiful. your fires, your martial skill suits you. but so do things like these, i think. if you won't accept it, won't you at least tell me your favorites? that way, if i ever get to see them, i can still think of you. '

     POLITELY AND DUTIFULLY DID she keep watch over her charge, not because she was hired to do so, but because she genuinely wished for Yan Qing’s protection and happiness. However, it was easy to tell that she did not feel the latter. She played the proper lady, fulfilled her role as was expected of her within this household…and yet…she reminded Tomoe of a bird that was never released from its cage – forever peering out the window it was placed by and wondering if it too could take to the sky like those that would dance upon the windowsill. Yan Qing never spoke her thoughts on that matter, nor bemoaned her circumstances, but Tomoe had been around long enough to notice the smallest hints of displeasure without words needing to be said. Hands that were clasped politely in front of herself tightened in their hold, his lips pressing together firmly for a moment’s time before the sound of the other’s voice broke her from her reverie. ❝Yes, My Lady?❞ she asked, perking up instantly and awaiting whatever would pass those lips.

     For a time, Yan Qing said nothing – the noblewoman merely examining the peony she had plucked as if mesmerized by its delicate petals. When she finally did speak, surprise flickered across Tomoe’s features. ❝M-My Tomoe?❞ She unclasped her hand, gently placing it upon her chest and peering down upon the ground in thought as that affectionate title swirled about in her head. ‘My Tomoe’… She wondered what it was that had brought such about, but at the same time, it didn’t bother her. On the contrary, it made a spark of warmth burst within her; a small, delicate flame so like a lit candle. It was unprofessional to become too attached to one’s charge – that was what she had been taught, what had been drilled into her head a long time ago. Her duty was to serve and serve only. Everything else would be overstepping her bounds, but...being a distant protector felt…so cold, and Yan Qing had dealt with more than enough of that. The false smiles that never quite reached the eyes, the seemingly polite conversation that held daggers underneath…

     What a lonely existence.

     How could Tomoe not wish for Yan Qing to have something more? To genuinely smile? To genuinely laugh and thrive? ❝If…if that is what you desire, then such is fine with me.❞ She held no qualms to this – acceptant of both her new ‘title’ and of flower both. She smiled, then, head lifting and hand moving to rest by her side. ❝Yes, I accept both.❞ No one compared her to flowers before. They may think that of her at first, but upon seeing her brutality, her viciousness in combat, such thoughts would be quick to fade away. It was…refreshing…to not just be seen as cold and deadly like a blade; all sharp edges at the ready to cut. ❝Perhaps…new flowers can be brought in too. I can see that it is done. That way, when you awaken in the morning, rather than always being met with the same flowers in the garden, you can see different blooms to make your day brighter.❞ It wasn’t much, she knew. Nothing like actually leaving this place and walking the countryside…but it was something, wasn’t it?

' the view really IS good! ' yan qing's head held up by her hands, her elbows on the cool stone of the balcony, she grins and happily beams at the other --- even as eula points it out, the outlaw's gaze has been set and steady absolutely nowhere on the alleys and streets of mondstadt!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EULA LAWRENCE ( 25.10.2022 ) || accepting

─「エウルア」─ the LAWRENCE HEIR didn't think she would be showing this view to anyone else, let alone a certain outlaw the knights had been receiving quite a few complaints about. but, perhaps, she couldn't help wanting a companion to share the view with on THIS DAY out of all days. though the moment her dual-colored hues turned from the scenery of mondstadt towards the other after her compliment, finding her eyes upon herself made she blink.

                then the realization hit her on what the other meant.

                " flattery would get you nowhere. getting on my good side is useless when other people don't even like me, you know ? " a tender laugh escaped her lips, however. whether yan qing was simply buttering her up or she was honest about it, it did put a smile on her face. " i wouldn't be able to wipe your record, unfortunately. and being seen with me might bring you even worse reputation. "

                " that said, however — " she leaned back, stretching her arms and letting out a soft, content sound. her smile stayed throughout. " — i wouldn't mind spending more time with you. it's not like my reputation could get any worse. " eula flashed a playful smile her way. " so, how about it ? "
