After starting getting back in the swing of being an Archon and gaining the respect of her nation, for some time, Nahida was fully unable to be alone for certain period of time. Her centuries in isolation made her feel incredibly anxious each time it happened, to the point where she would actively seek out people to chat with, even when she herself felt a bit worn out. And sure, she could linger in dreams, but that in and of itself is too reminiscent of the way things used to be. Ideally, she’d have someone’s hand to hold, to better ground her and set her mind at ease, but she’s content enough just having others around her too.

#hc; nahida #//She misses the Traveler dearly #//With them; she even felt safe napping alongside; without worrying she’ll wake up alone #//Made her feel very safe and loved #//They’re as good as family to her; with how much she adores them. Then and Paimon #//Select others also have the right to see her so vulnerable; namely those who were at the forefront of saving her #//Of them all; she really wants to nap curled up with Tighnari’s tail #//Thinks it would be so nice and warm #//Wanderer; she might take a bit to let him that close #//She loves him lots too; but then there’s the matter of his own comfort #//At least with sb like Alhaitham; she has excuse and reason to be around her for work before drifting to find sb else once he’s had enough #//Wanderer; for a time; she would unsure just how much he wants to be around her as is without peeking into his mind; but napping near him?#//She feels he’d take his leave immediately. wouldn’t fault him for it; but it’s not what she needs #//So she’d keep their interactions to more comfortable casual extent #//Up until they get closer; in which case; she’ll regard and treat him like the traveler #//He may already be her nephew; but she won’t treat him like family until he himself is completely comfortable in that #//And she does keep an eye out for indications of it
