@narvvhal  asked   :     "Do you know how to read maps, Lumine?" His smile is wide, as he takes her hand to place a folded parchment against her fingers, gently opening it to display the whole expanse of Teyvat, small markings spread all across the expanses of terrain and even sea, with scribblings in Snezhnayan along with other languages. His gaze falls from her face to the paper surface, free fingers moving to trail a line, following each of the marked points."These are spots of interest, nice places where you can find materials for anything. And these—" He trails now to another type of marks—starlike shapes carefully placed in very specific spots in the map, a lot scarcer than the other dots. "—are places I've marked down to bring my siblings to visit to, one day. They're particularly beautiful places, gorgeous natural reserves untouched by civilization. Perfect for scenery-watching and starviewing."He glances back up at her, and flashes her an even brighter smile. "This is my personal map, nothing fatui or work related. Just my little personal pointer. You can keep it as my gift for the winter holidays, so whenever you reunite with your brother, you can bring him to all these places before you depart back to your world." He tilts his head and shrugs. "It's not a big gift for the commonfolk, but as a traveler yourself, I figured you'd find value to it. And don't worry, I know these pointers by memory."       — lumine&childe   |   unprompted   (   ALWAYS OPEN   )

Lumine areched a brow at his words, fisted hands falling to her hips as she scowled at him. Of course, to those who knew her well would know that it was done in good fun; she may not be very expressive by nature, but if you knew how to read her enough, she spoke volumes sometimes. “Of course I know how to read a map, stupid Fatui,” she retorted, rolling her eyes. But a smile was quick to ctack at her lips as she reached out sharply.

The motion itself seemed a bit aggressive in nature, but when she actually took the map in her hands and pulled it towards herself, she was mindful and careful with the parchment. Her eyes scanned the contents and the many symbols, a look of awe on her features. Every marker was clear and detailed, and she let out a small sound of appreciation.

Catching herself, however, she closed it carefully and proceeded as if nothing had happened. “Childe ...” She spoke out, smiling softly his way. They had bonded over family and their homesickness countless of times, and the fact that he had given her something so thoughtful—as if he knew that she hoped to share the world of Teyvat with her brother, hoping that .... No. She was quick to shut down such thoughts.

Her mouth opened to say something, but it was as if he had read her mind as well. Now, against popular belief, Lumine was not the type to show affection openly. And yet, she found herself rising on her toes so she could wrap her arms around the Harbinger’s neck, hugging him close, chin hooked on his shoulder.

“Thank you, Childe ...” Eyes closed, she hummed out another thanks in her mother tongue, something she’s only done around the few people who knew her true origins. before she lowered herself to the flat of her feet once more.
