@lupicalled​​ asked: "like this?" he shows off his own meatball, shaped perhaps a /little/ too large, but he's getting the hang of it, "what all this for, anyway? can't we just eat meat now?" 

ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝunprompted // always accepting!!

          xiangling grinned widely / eyes to shine as she nodded. “ yes, exactly like that! you’re getting really good at this, razor! ” even if it was a bit large, it was his enthusiasm and attempt that mattered: plus, she’ll simply make sure to fry it until it’s ready!

          rolling a ball of her own, the chef gently placed it on their tray and immediately began to roll another with a giggle. “ hehe, if we eat the meat now, it won’t taste as good! though, it has been awhile since I’ve tried raw meat... ” she paused, remembering the panic and scolding her father gave after witnessing, a very tiny, xiangling trying a small piece of raw boar. she shook her head, “ after we cook them, the meat will be perfectly seasoned and their size makes it even more delicious-- ah, I can’t wait!! ”

          xiangling’s mother is an expert in herbs and medicine: she travels teyvat in hopes of helping those in need and expanding her knowledge in the field. having left when xiangling was a mere child, her mother writes a letter home every month and tells about her journey along with any information that she believes xiangling would find useful! xiangling misses her mother greatly but doesn’t mind her absence as she’s more glad that her mother is pursuing her passion and dream ♡

          xiangling isn’t very talented music-wise but she really enjoyed playing the xylophone as a child!! she still has her old, tiny wooden xylophone in her room and picks it back up occasionally hehe

@withguoba​ : " here, let me put it on for you. “ xiangling giggled, taking one of her panda themed band-aids and gently applying it on lumine’s hand. she never liked seeing her friend hurt, even if only a scratch. though, she couldn’t blame lumine either– knowing that their recklessness is similar to her own. ” next time, take me with you– then, we can be reckless together! hehe. “

Most wounds don’t even register to the alien — she recalls the time she’d frightened amber when shed had three arrows sticking through her chest, out her back, and another through her leg, and not noticed until the pyro - user screamed.  Existence different, biology different, and body increasingly foreign / increasingly alien.  (  ha, ha, ha.  )  Pain just doesn’t register, as most physical sensations don’t.  This is all to say that Lumine hadn’t noticed the scrape on their hand until Xiangling was taking the limb and carefully pressing a bandage to the wound.  Oh — it’s cute.

“Thank you,” Lumine murmurs, a beat too late, eyes taking another few heartbeats to raise to meet the other’s.  Xiangling’s expression is so bright — so open and loving — that Lumine feels a small, surprise smile make it’s way onto their face to match.  She laughs breathlessly and feels the sun on her face for the first time in — she’s not sure.

Being loved and loving — being cared for and building bonds.  Nothing is more natural.  It’s good to remember that, even for brief moments.

“I will.”  Causing mischief together sounds — fun.

@wanmins​ asked: “ yknow, when there’s nothing else to say, set something on fire !! ”

          “ and then, finish it off with a boom!!-- right? ” meiling flung her arms up in the air / smiling wide with a giggle. she always looked forward to mornings-- starting the day with new ideas, plans and especially sitting down with xiangling for their mandatory braiding session!! 

          the older chef tied the younger chef’s hair gently, braiding one of her mini twin-tails. “ though, maybe you should hold back a bit? dad wasn’t very happy the last time you did that, you know!! ” meiling being a responsible sibling? yes!! “ buuut. . . if anything big happens, you can just say you were trying a new recipe! ”  . . . nevermind!!

@withguoba​  : ❝  i’ll never let you go! ❞ ( for lixue heheh )

strained groans left lixue’s lips,  hands struggling to take hold of the controller flimsily held due to the chef of wanmin restaurant who’s holding her in a tight embrace.  ❛ agh! xiangliiiing, personal space! we talked about this! no, my high score - !!! ❜  it’s too late - the cheerfulness bubbling forth the navy blue haired’s face was enough for lixue to give up on convincing. yet, despite the irritation visible on her face, there’s a certain warmth she’d never describe to anyone. being able to connect, form a deep friendship with someone who cared with idiotic honesty… oh, how the hermit yearned for anything but a feeling of isolation.

at this point, there’s no reason to deny the enjoyment of xiangling’s company, especially after such heartfelt words, hence the relieving smile tickling lixue’s features.  ❛ jeez, you’re annoying… ❜  harsh tongue stops on its’ tracks once her body leans closer into the hug, sighing slowly as hands move back onto her knees.  ❛ …but, i know you won’t let me go. so, don’t worry… we got each other’s backs, no matter what. ❜   because you’re the best friend anyone could ask for. xiangling better not tell anyone of this or else she will receive a giant pacman knocking at the door.

fatetm·: xingqiu!

❛ ah, xiangling, my liege … i take it you’ve returned from your many, many ventures in search of ingredients … ❜  if so … he might have to call out for chongyun’s help, once again. but, alas, nothing short but a typical day for someone who prefers keeping it nice and simple.

          a small jingle of her bell / smiling excitedly as she went towards him. “ oh, xingqiu! you won’t believe what I was able to find-- lots and lots of geo slimes!! ” the chef giggled, cheering at the mere thought. “ I’m planning to try rock candy but... oh!! xingqiu, you should taste-test my rock candy!! ”
