“ I think it’s sad. “ She’s as blunt as ever, but her tone is not so curt that it would bite him or any listener. Xingcai just has a straightforward way of sharing her thoughts and feelings. That’s why she never finds it necessary to apologize to him about it. She trusts he gets her quirks by now. Hopefully. “ These grounds were once a battlefield for a war that stretched for decades. “ She drops to a knee to touch the flowers that flourish in the unmarked graveyard land. “ Or maybe ... “ The girl picks a daisy from the field. “ ... it’s just your presence in this place. “ There’s a subtle smirk on her expression. She tosses the flower at him. “ Of course, I’m only teasing. “ Half-human, half-something rises to her feet. “ I suppose I invited you to join me because I needed help making a proper burial for everyone here. Nothing too big. But big enough to ease my nagging conscience. And to get rid of that eerie feeling you’d pointed out. I think their souls are restless. “ She pockets her hands. “ Any suggestions? “

❝ all strange wonders that befall you … ❞ a pause, his gaze flitted over their surroundings ; there was an eerie air around them that he could not describe ( did she cause it herself or was it by another being? ). he took a step closer to where she stood ; albeit, he remained attentive, for this sense of foreboding was quite unusual ( and he could assure that such feeling was not caused by a mortal being but someone…otherworldly ). ❝ …why here and why now? ❞ inquired he in a whispering voice, careful not to let anyone hear them ( as if anyone was listening…but it was better to practise caution, after all…) sapphire hues perused the area, causing brows to furrow in deep thought. ❝ unusual, don’t you agree? ❞

@eyerevived cont’d from here
“ Do you think you can make me disappear? “ She’s casual about it, completely calm and nearly inexpressive in spite of how odd her question may seem to passersby. The girl shrugs and crosses her arm over her chest, shifts her weight from one foot to the other as she clarifies. “ I mean, would you be able to get me out of a dead end if I was being tailed? “ Xingcai looks him hard in the eyes, wants him to know that she isn’t joking about the matter. “ If you’re that good, then I want to hire you as my helper on my next mission. “

He chuckled slightly and crossed his arms. The fact that one statement could confuse someone this much amused the tiger greatly. “Well I have mainly heard of your father Zhang Fei and your name has come up now and then. I must admit that I’m looking forward to seeing your skills in battle.” He looked towards her soldiers. They appeared prepared as well as it seemed like a reasonable amount to help protect the main camp. It seemed that any attack would not be more in the enemies favour this time around. Turning his eyes back to Xingcai, Jian grinned and bowed slightly. “I must thank you yet again lady Xingcai.” Upon standing straight again, he partially turned around and looked back over his shoulder. “How about some food or whatever drink you may like. It is a good way for me to understand you better.”
“ No, my lord. It is I who should thank you for your hospitality. “ She inclines her head out of gratitude before rising to her feet. Softly softer now, she smiles, and her soldiers are more at ease in seeing the good news in her change of expression. “ I humbly accept your kind invitation, Lord Sun Jian. I’m honored to share a meal with you. “ Shu’s ‘guard falls into step alongside Wu’s tiger. “ Many have spoken highly of your sons. I am curious to know, though. Do you have any daughters ? “

“ The fight is still yours, really. “ She lifts her shield, stands her ground behind Rinoa, and gives the other a nod of encouragement. “ I’m not here to steal the show. It’s just to remind you that I’ve got your back. “ As if to prove her point, the warrior queen blocks a fiery dart with her unyielding aegis. It’s her duty as a ‘guard to Shu and to all. “ Lead the way, and I’ll follow you wherever you go. “

self-knowledge questionnaire.
tagged by: my lovely friend @heavenssoaringwings
tagging: @storyteller-prince + anyone who wants to! <3
RATIONALITY
You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesize and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.
RESILIENCE
You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, tour insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.
ORDERLINESS
You love it when everything is neat and tidy: when there is a proper way of doing things, and you can tick things off the to-do list and know where everything is. So others, at times, are to you unbearably sloppy and messy. And you run into things that can’t be ordered (a child, a partner, a colleague at work) which drives you slightly nuts. But your desire for order is a good one when it is focused where it is needed and when you’re okay with a bit of mess

✧・゚:* LINGQI
Lingqi was familiar with the some of the vendors and merchants on the streets since she often accompanied her aunt or cousins whenever they went out to buy goods or have meals. There were numerous tea shops and eateries with which she was familiar thanks to how often she frequented them with her relatives.

“Of course.” Lingqi assured the woman. There have been plenty of street food that, though simple, surpassed some of the restaurants in terms of quality and economic efficiency. Naturally, street vendors’ prices would be way lower than those of restaurants.
She took the stick that Xingcai handed her and bit off a portion of the meat skewered on it. Her eyes widened slightly, her head bobbed and a hum reverberated from her throat in approval as she chewed. Her demeanor made it obvious that it was the first time she had shaokao. She nor her relatives have ever bothered to go try any from these stores. When she was done with her first bite, she bit off another portion and was nodding once again as she ate.
“ I’m glad you like it. “ She takes a bite off her own skewer, allows herself to smile a little while chewing, but her expression soon returns to her signature, stoic look. Xingcai idly watches passersby go about their afternoon grocery shopping. “ How has life been for you, Lingqi ? “�� She stares hard at the meat she holds in her hand, quietly avoids eye contact with the other girl. “ Do you ever miss the chaos you left behind now that all the fighting is gone from your life ? “ Because strangely, there was comfort in the familiarity of women and war songs. It wasn’t because she missed the blood and death. It was because she missed the relationships, the structure of being told what to do and when to do it. “ I’m not sure who I am without a sword and shield. “

✧・゚:* HEALER
And it was as she said, as he followed her directions, the city slowly changed along with the scenery around them. Concrete pillars had turned into small traditional houses all close together. Some apartment buildings that looked like they were built at least 40 years ago would appear here and there, but the more they continued, fewer people, cars or houses they saw. Soon it was pastures, people were replaced by sheep or cows and then even the animals DISAPPEARED.
The roads were getting narrower and winding. With trees growing taller, making it impossible at times to see anything but the dirt road ahead along with endless branches and lavish saplings. “My eyes and ears aren’t here, so I’m using you as REPLACEMENT.” It was true, but also a joke, or at least as close to it as he’d get. Even though his layer wasn’t somewhere remote as a forest, it was secluded and hidden away in a part of town where no one else lived, and it was funny how many similarities the two of them had. Not knowing the terrain, the old lady not being able to contact him, were things that he did not like, not one bit.
Jung-hoo had to have everything under control, and from the moment the plane landed here, nothing went as it was supposed to. He’d have to change the plan completely, but most importantly, as she had mentioned before. Get rid of those that were trying to TAKE them out. And then he could focus on what was supposed to come after that. As he finally spotted the cabin, he turned slightly left, continued for a moment before he stopped the bike and turned the engine off. As soon as the engine was off, everything was too quiet, it was unsettling. “I guess we’re HERE.”
“ Thanks for the ride. “ She exhales sharply, and then takes a slow and deep breath. Sweet mountain air refreshes her weary body, and quiet streams of nearby water puts her at ease. Xingcai climbs off the bike and takes the lead, pushing open the doors and ushering him inside. That’s when it actually occurs to her that she’d skipped formalities entirely during the wild pursuit. “ I work under the name of Star, by the way. “ She shrugs off her mistake, and there’s a hint of embarrassment for her triteness. “ Sorry I hadn’t introduced myself earlier. It seemed like a trivial matter at the time. “ The woman locks the door behind them and pushes him towards the coffee table. “ I’ll be your eyes and ears for as long as you need while you’re in town, though. “ Her hand is raised with all fingers splayed. There’s a smirk playing on her lips, and she jokingly adds, “ Free of charge too. I owe it to you, after all. “ The ‘guard gestures for him to join her by the couches. “ Before we plan any attack on our enemy though, we need to take care of those wounds first. “ There’s a subtle change in her expression. Something graver, heavier, a weighted seriousness that fills up the atmosphere. “ What happens between us stays between us though, Healer. “ She stares hard at him, and after a long pause, Xingcai shows him her hand. It’s glowing in mint green, soothing light. “ I can heal you. If you let me. “

✧・゚:* ZHOU TAI
Such passionate words, it was almost amusing to the silent general that someone had the audacity to stand up and bark back. It had been sometime since he’s last encountered that ferocity. As much as Zhou Tai wanted to see Xingcai back her words up in a small spar, it was now not the time nor the place for that. What followed those strong words was the answer to the question he had asked prior. An answer he was not really expecting at all, but life was full of surprises.
With a loud but silent yawn escaping his mouth, it was a signal of mockery to her request and a sign of boredom. Uncrossing his arms himself, he turned his back to her, walking towards a large crate. Turning back around, he sat down leaning forward while resting his right arm over his leg, his left hand holding his left leg. Glancing back at Xingcai with a piercing glare, he gave no attempt to really threaten her more, he simply said two words. “Go home..”
Zhou Tai had no need for someone that would just get in the way of expeditions. Even though she might have such skill, it took a lot more than that to be a part of something greater. Plus, this small act could be nothing more than a ploy to rip information out of him. Everyday he trained himself mentally to resist falling into such obvious traps. Even if this wasn’t a ploy, why ask him out of every other available general in Wu? To come to a man who was known for strong loyalty, speed, and silence what else could there be?
” There’s not much of home left for me, Zhou Tai. “ She’s a girl grown in grief, the girl left behind, but Xingcai is as stoic as ever when she speaks, deeply rooted in unshakable strength of heart. Shu’s Star places a hand over her heart and coolly looks him in the eyes. “ I refuse to be a burden to you, though I won’t take no for an answer. “ She lowers her hand back to her side, casually joins him where she leans against a taller crate across from where he sits. The girl quietly studies him but gives no trace of what she could possibly be thinking or feeling from the way her expression remains unchanged. “ I’m asking you because you are a man of few words. I don’t wish to learn from instruction. I’d like to observe how you lead because ... “ She shrugs and hops onto the crate, folds her hands as origami roses over her lap. “ ... I’ve done so from afar for sometime. “
Because she knows he’s a ‘guard. And she’s a ‘guard too.

✧・゚:* ZHOU TAI
Zhou Tai was not one to really have a battle of wise words.Getting his point across was all he needed to do and that was easily accomplished. Still, credit was given where credit was due. Not many dared to speak back and give their opinion to such an intimidating man. Of course being the daughter of the infamous Zhang Fei made it no surprise. Courage was certainly on her side, especially being within enemy territory.
Glancing at her bowing technique almost made the silent general draw his blade right then and there. But causing such a conflict now wouldn’t be the best of moves. “I would stand and face me if I were you…I take someone who bows in front of me as a sign of surrender for me to take their life…I am not royalty…you want to show respect? Then talk face to face like a warrior…” His words were serious, his deep tone giving off a menacing vibe.
For whatever reason she approached him, it had better be something worth his time. Being a bodyguard, general, and captain of a ship meant his life was real time consuming. Luckily he didn’t have much planned so there was time to talk. Crossing his arms over his chest, his sable optics glanced at the Xingcai. “Obviously you’re not here to fight…now…what does the daughter of Zhang Fei want with me…?”
” Of course you’re not royalty. “ Curt. Cold. Cutting as though to inflict a wound with words alone. She rises to her feet and locks eyes with him. “ You won’t be so privileged as to take my life. “ Her steadfast gaze is the authority with which she speaks her warning. “ Draw your sword, and I’ll be certain to draw mine own. “ She mirrors him and crosses her own arms over her chest, challenging him with a subtle slanting of her head to one side, one brow raised while a smirk sneaks up into one dimpled cheek. “ I want to be of use to you and your soldiers. “ Shu’s Shield unfolds her arms. “ In other words, send for me and my company at any given time or place. We will be there to serve as reinforcements on the battlefield. “ She shrugs and paces around him. “ What’s in it for me though, right ? Permission to train with you and learn from your swordsmanship. I’m always hungry for more knowledge and growth in my skills. “ And there it was again, her instinct to defend herself. She digs her heels into the ground a little firmer, and though she’s shorter than him, Xingcai stands before him face-to-face, unwavering. She expects another biting counter from the Wu warrior.

❛ you’re fine , honestly — if i haven’t managed to EMBARRASS myself yet , then you’ve got nothing to worry about.. ❜ modern day american society was certainly relaxed in the majority of aspects , with no concrete customs or mannerisms to follow — simply living the way of the american dream , with happiness && aspiration along the way. && whilst she’d be happy to INTRODUCE her new friend to it , she can’t help but to wonder exactly how she’d handle such a divergent lifestyle , much like herself within the current circumstances. ❛ what can i say ? it’s contagious. ❜ there’s a teasing smile dancing behind the rim of her teacup , disguised as she takes another sip of the crisp && refreshing tea — whilst not being an expert in the whole dating game , she’s going to offer as much ADVICE as she possibly can. after all , it was the least that she could do after the other had saved her life in battle. ❛ well , does he make you feel happy , more than anyone else in your life ? && do you just find yourself thinking about him , without any apparent reason ? ❜
AND SO, SHE CATCHES THE BUG. Oh, how she catches the bug. Claire is right. She really is contagious. Personable. Charming. Adds a fragrance of positive energy to the atmosphere. It’s nice to have warrior sisters who can relate. It’s nice to not have to explain herself and to just enjoy the luxury that is the mutual, quiet understanding they share with each other. Hands much accustomed to cuts and blisters reach for the teapot, and out of hospitality, Xingcai refills her friend’s teacup. “ I confess that he does make me happier, more so than anyone else in my life. A different kind of happy than the kind I experience from loved ones like my family and friends like you. “ She’s usually louder than this. She can’t help it but lower her voice when speaking the secrets hidden for so long inside of her heart. Claire is the first and only friend she can process with. “ He’s of gentle on my mind, always seeming to be there in the back of my thoughts. I can’t get him off my mind. I’d assumed it was just my duty to care. That’s why I concluded, why would I even try to get him off my mind ? “ She finishes her last bite of food and rests her chopstick on the holder. “ Lord Ling Tong ... does he know about your affections for him, Claire ? Have you ever told him, or perhaps, he has told you about his feelings for you ? “
#cerisetheai#°☆'゜stars die to give light ・’ °☆「 IC 」.#°☆'゜her hands hold the stars with fiery love ・’ °☆ 「 MAIN」.#// reading your previous reply made me imagine what it would be like for these two to enjoy a more modern-day setting#// i'm sure xingcai would be the one to feel super out of place though haha XD#// wishing for a wonderful wednesday for you <3

INTERNALLY, SHE’S WINCING. Of course, the comet queen merely narrows her eyes, tosses a hand up in the air as though to banish all those sinful winks that come like a barrage of fiery darts. The anger she restrains, however, is disarmed when the other woman comments. Her furrowed brows relax, and even a trace of one gentle smile slips up the corner of her lips. “ Definitely just a part of the trick. “ All show and little substance. Xingcai has high standards. She’ll keep it that way. “ I think they’re rather cocky, overestimating and taking pride in their ability to charm other gals. “ Shu’s Shield rests a gentle hand on her acquaintance’s shoulder. “ Although I don’t know you very well, I think you deserve more than those types of men. “ Now it’s her turn to wink. “ What do you think ? “
@shieldstar
While she had sided with Wu’s officers prior to the hydra dilemma, Okuni mingled among most factions with relative ease. Though some Wei troops avoided her gaze after hearing of her ‘achievements’ at Luo Castle, a rather handsome man gave a passing wink as he continued his stroll. She’d seen him before; just like that Magoichi guy she’d met, he mostly approached women in a similar manner. Imagine the disaster if they were to meet! Handsome as they came, trouble accompanied those kinds of winks.
“What’s the deal with him?” Okuni gestured toward the closest woman. “I know he’s not from my time, but he’s alluringly modern. Maybe that’s part of the trick, hm?”

Without a second lingering thought of hesitation, he followed her instructions to a tee. With her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, it felt like they were acting as ONE person. He was the driver and she simply pointed him in the right direction. And sure enough as he turned into the remote alleyway, it seemed as if there was nowhere further to go, but it wasn’t a dead end after all. He hears her voice by his left ear, even with other distracting sounds of the city and the engine bellow them, it’s loud enough for him to hear.
But he stays silent, it wasn’t out of hesitation but out of habit. He had no confidant. The old lady didn’t count, she usually made the deals first, so she knew EVERYTHING. But other than her. There was simply no one else. So any question made him want to seal off what else he kept inside, important or not, he could no longer tell the difference. Stopping on a red light, Jung-hoo slightly moved his head to the side as she spoke again. Revealing something that he had no idea about. And yet, she spoke it into existence without a second thought. It must be freeing, he had time to think before the engine roared again and they were off.
“Where to now, just straight?"
The road, that they were on, one of many, was leading them outside of city center, into an area that was far different than the piercing giants of buildings that seemed to be touching the low hanging clouds. The endless screens, some taller than most houses. Portraying endless commercials and newest idol celebrities. Boutiques, high-end restaurants, coffee shops, trendy clothes, fancy gadgets.
They’d leave it all behind. If no one stops them. No one was following them, or so it would seem. They could be tracing them over the CCTV cameras, and he informed her of that. He wasn’t familiar with the city, so she had to tell him where to go so that they can hide, in every way possible. "They want your life.” He finally spoke again. “That’s a bad business investment. So, I’m guessing we should go really far before we figure out how to completely get RIDof them.”
” Yeah. Keep straight, Healer. “ Again, she confronts the dire situation with stoneface and unshakable peace in her heart. She’s always been a runner, always been a fighter. With him by her side, Xingcai has all the more reason to feel at ease. “ This road will lead us away from town and into the suburbs. If you keep at it, we’ll leave this all behind. That’s when the path will take us up the mountains. There’s a cabin there that I use as headquarters for my work. We can come up with a plan to get rid of the bogie on our tail when we get there. “ HER ARMS ARE STILL LINKED AROUND HIM, and in that way she makes him her anchor in this wild frenzy. It takes her by surprise though, the soft bubble of laughter that slips from her throat. And oh, how she’s laughing now. “ Why are you helping me, Healer ? I didn’t hire you, you know. “ But they share a common enemy now, and two heads are better than one. “ What are you planning on doing after we get rid of the men after us ? “ Curiosity dominates her tone. Still, there’s a hint of sadness underneath all things. She considers him a new friend. She doesn’t want him to leave so soon.

if she could bring back her newfound FRIENDS with her when if she returned home , then she would in a heartbeat — but then surely they’d facing exactly the same predicament in which she’s currently found herself. no definitive way to travel back to their own time , && the uncertainty of the time span to be spent in a completely alien world. she wouldn’t want to be SELFISH , plucking everyone from their lives , their families just for the opportunity for them to visit. what she wouldn’t give for their two worlds to be connected , no matter how different they might have been. ❛ i’d like that — i could take you to my favourite coffee shop , they do the best biscotti. ❜ she’s purposely leaving out the detail that it might not be possible , not wanting to believe it herself , but also not wishing to interrupt such a serene moment. the prominent crimson hue threatens to dust across her cheeks once again at the mention of her BELOVED’S name , yet her attention soon shifts towards the other’s plight — perhaps she required some advice ? chin situates upon her palm whilst she leans a fraction forwards , lips curving up into an encouraging smile. she was going to do the best that she could. ❛ when i said that i had your back , i didn’t mean just in battle — i’m all ears if you need someone. ❜
SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT COFFEE IS. Her ignorance urges her to turn into a cloud, into a breeze, so that she could safely float away. She wants to hide her embarrassment for not knowing what seems like common knowledge. Still, Xingcai maintains that calm expression upon her face, just blinks those brown, doe-like eyes of hers while humbly admitting, “ I’m afraid I don’t know what coffee is, Claire. I worry if I ever visit you in America, I’d humiliate you in front of your peers for not knowing these things ! “ She half-winces, half-smiles. “ Thank you by the way, Claire, for supporting me in all aspects of life. “ Morning light reveals the blush that’s now on the Shu warrior’s cheeks. She playfully blames it on her friend, “ Oh, look at what you’ve done. Now you’ve got me all flustered and lovesick too ! “ She quietly laughs and picks up another dumpling. “ I suppose you could say that I’m not exactly sure about how I feel. I don’t know if I like him as just my lord and my friend. I don’t know if my feelings of concern are simply because it’s my duty to protect him. Or if ... if it’s more. “

‘ i realize now that i am the one out of place. ’ i'm a sucker for angst , i'm so sorry jgbbgbgbgngk :'|
JUST A SPOONFUL OF ANGST / @cerisetheai( accepting )
THERE’S DEW ON EVERY BLADE OF GRASS. And she thinks it looks like the tears of insects crying through the night. Inside her own chest falls the cherry blossoms. Is this what it feels like to empathize ? To feel another’s pain in one’s own flesh and soul ? “ I wish ... I wish I could make the pain go away. “ Xingcai has always felt like a phoenix in the water, always been a daughter, and she can’t help but wonder if maybe Claire’s feathers are also meant for the sky. Shu’s Star sets the table in the middle of the peach garden, silver and jade dishes with forks, spoons, and knives instead of chopsticks. No tea this time either. Just beautiful cups of frothy latte with foamy hearts dolloped atop the steaming espresso. “ Ever since Lord Liu Shan surrendered Shu, I too have missed my home back in Chengdu. “ She nudges the latte over to Claire. “ I may not fully understand your situation, but I am trying my best to relate ... because I care about you. “ Xingcai winces when her own cup sloshes over the side and trickles over her fingers. She licks it, tastes coffee for the first time instead of her usual morning tea. “ I’ve never been to America, but I’ve been taking notes on all the things you’ve taught me. That’s why I wanted to prepare this coffee date for you. “ She studies her friend’s expression, expresses her desire to comfort her warrior sister. “ I’m going to do my best to make here feel as close to home as possible for you, Claire. And maybe you’re right about feeling like you don’t belong here. I think ... you’re otherworldly, Claire. It’s as though you’re too good for this fallen world with its fallen humans. “

‘ something’s terribly sick in my head ’ ‘ these are my darkest thoughts , the bad things lurking in the closet ’ ‘ is this how i tear the monsters from my body ? ’ ‘ i want everything to stop ’ ‘ fuck your immaculate existence ’ ‘ today i want my heart to tremble ’ ‘ i want my teeth to shatter bone ’ ‘ today i want killing to mean living ’ ‘ nothing you do can hurt me but you better try ’ ‘ you can’t live without burning your comfort and safety as firewood ’ ‘ maybe the ghosts learned how to build stairs into the mountainside ’ ‘ believe me when i say there is no pride in this ’ ‘ i want to be one of those city sprites among termites ’ ‘ cleanse this body through tears and emesis ’ ‘ circumvention was futile , damnable ’ ‘ we’re all burning ’ ‘ we learn to laugh in the midst of the inferno ’ ‘ i realize now that i am the one out of place ’ ‘ i want to destroy all the parts that aren’t working ’ ‘ i never knew i had the capacity for cruelty ’ ‘ i condemn myself to failure without batting an eyelash ’ ‘ choosing to protect ourselves is not failure ’ ‘ nothing is working ’ ‘ at some point i stopped , i sank ’ ‘ breathing seems so difficult now ’ ‘ living was easy as breathing once upon a time ’ ‘ i don’t think it’s living , but it’s not hurting either ’ ‘ my body is a room made of glass walls and wooden floors ’ ‘ today , i ache for somewhere to hide ’ ‘ how do i turn the light on in my eyes ? ’ ‘ please , no one look at me today ’ ‘ i mused over all the times i had prayed to a god i do not believe in ’ ‘ the gods died laughing ’ ‘ you must learn fear ’ ‘ let’s not be enemies tonight ’ ‘ hold my hand while our greatest tragedies are lost and forgotten ’ ‘ you are only a murderer if someone cares ’ ‘ dreaming is so painful and i wish i would stop ’ ‘ i can still love you with my eyes closed ’ ‘ i’m not sure why you’re acting surprised ’ ‘ let me pretend that i’m made of magic ’ ‘ i am a creature of contradictions ’ ‘ remember your strength , unchanging and eternal ’
