Honestly, it wasn’t as though he could expect her to suddenly stay locked away, not when she was the type to enjoy the outside, to mingle with others. Just because he didn’t mind staying a loner and keeping to the few people who he trusted in this world, doesn’t mean that he should be pushing his wife into acting the same way. He was lucky he still had her, lucky that she’d wished to stay with him. He loved her so much, that he wished nothing more than to protect her...but he couldn’t keep her locked up forever, could he?  “...that wasn’t fair of me”, he sighed lightly, a weak smile forming as he shook his head, “No. You should go... you can’t keep putting your life on hold....just because I’m scared....you’re the one who knows best if you’re ready for that next step of not...”. And he’d be there to support her for as long as she wished for him to remain by her side.

“Hmm?”

Another small sip of his drink was taken as he tried to force himself to focus on the girl by his side, a soft sigh heard at the hurt to flash within her eyes. He hadn’t meant to space out, he just hadn’t slept for a few days and it seemed as though that was beginning to catch up on him. Even his body seemed to ache more, as though the lack of sleep caused his ability to hurt more. It really was dumb to have kept their meeting if he was just going to zone out like this.  “I’m sorry - really I am. I’ve been studying for an upcoming exam and haven’t really slept...if the bags under my eyes didn’t give that away already”, he said with a nervous little laugh, “I’ll pay attention this time. Promise”.

This truly was a sight that he thought he never would get to witness, and yet day after day, he got to sit there by Venti’s side, watching as animals ran on by, as the wind tussled the branches of trees, as fresh faced adventueres stopped to pay their respect to the Statue of the Seven, unaware their Archon was resting nearby. People watching had always been a hobby of his, and there was something peaceful about being able to partake in the hobby and know he wasn’t looking for any type of threats. 

“It’s beautiful...I’m sure the others would be proud of you too, if a little surprised that a small mischevious wisp had managed so much”, he giggled lightly, leaning in against Venti’s side with a soft sigh, “...I think part of this was your vision too...at least I hope that to be the case...I want you to be happy too...not tied to having to see my wishes become a reality”. He spoke softly, eyes closing as he did so, hoping that he hadn’t spoiled the mood too much.  A peaceful life was something he had never experienced before now - so maybe it was a bad habit of his to always be a little on alert, to always be looking out for that new possible source of danger, and if he were to be honest, that source could very well be himself.

He frowned to himself as he gazed at the pot he’d been stirring, pulling a slight face at the smell that came from within, a sound that sounded almost like a sigh, breaking free from his lips, the silent male placing the pot into the nearby sink to deal with later. But while he was a vampire, Misha had to actually eat food...and what was he supposed to do about that? His master had left without saying a word, which was rather common...but the cupboards were empty too...did he have to go into the city? He didn’t like that idea at all.  With a sigh, he wondered back to the other room, writing inside his notebook as he walked towards where Misha was, passing over the note - I burned the soup...I think we need to go into town. You must be starving, right?

The death of their mother had happened so quickly, and she never had quite paused for long enough to think just how much her mothers death was going to change things for herself. As the eldest daughter of the Nix clan, she should have been their new leader, but as always, perfect little Sabriel had managed to surpass her and earn the respect of those who choose such pointless things. So, to say she’d been irritated, would be an understatement. And maybe she’d taken that anger out on a few of her latest targets, even those she was to capture alive. Archons give her the strength not to snap more.  “...look I got who you wanted. I don’t see why it matters to you how I treat those who are working under Sabriel...it’s a family matter. It doesn’t concern you at all”. Sure Anne was the boss of her boss, of her stupid sister who just happened to also be fucking that very same Boss. It all made her rather sick. “Report me to Sabriel then. I’m honestly past caring at this stage”.

With a soft sigh, he’d laid back in the hands of the large statue that sat in the center of the plaza of Mondstadt, allowing for the gentle breeze to wash over them. Days like these, he could never grow tired of. Watching as those below enjoyed their life of freedom, as he watched over the nation that his friends had died for to create, although he couldn’t help but to think on when this may all come crashing down, a slight frown showing on the Archons face.  “My friend ~ have you felt any difference in the winds?”, he glanced towards the small wisp, sitting slowly back up to his knees, “...I don’t know what’s gotten into me today. I just can’t shake off this feeling...”

“Sorry - did I wake you?”.  Whispering softly, he climbed into bed next to Harper, leaning in to kiss his cheek gently. He’d been up rather late studying, which was pretty normal, but he had been stressing out a lot more than usual and had been crawling into bed almost at the break of dawn. He was exhausted, but also rather determined to pass these tests. He didn’t wish to be stuck studying under his father for even a day more than what was needed.  “Sorry love...I’ll make it up to you next week. Promise”

“ when you love something, you protect it. ” - to garth from mori

The confusion he was currently feeling must have been rather evident to see within his gaze, for his father to say something such as that. All Garth could do was hug into the bell that he’d just used, gaze slowly shifting from his father to the man that had now passed out before them, blood pooling around his form from the attack that Elise had got in before the bell had taken effect. Honestly? He didn’t understand as to why his father would protect him - wasn’t he supposed to try and fight for himself? To be strong enough on his own? 

“...I didn’t even see them near me...”, he let out the breath that he hadn’t even realised he’d been holding in, “...thank you...”. Still, it was difficult to simply accept that not only had his father protected him, but he’d also just said that he loved him.

“Hmmm” Math had never been her strongest subject, but the question she was working on at the moment was giving her even more issues than usual. Using the end of her pencil, she scratched at her head a little, glancing up as she heard a voice by her side, a soft smile forming at the question, “No, you’re welcomed to sit with me. I’m Ella”, she paused before laughing lightly, “And I hate Math”, she added, stabbing at her math book with her pencil a little, “My brother’s a whizz at Math though”. She sighed, placing the book to one side and finally digging out her lunch. Last thing she needed was to skip and get ill later in the day.

Maybe the reason as to why he found it hard to make friends, was down to this type of thing. He found it difficult to look at the world and try to see the good that was out there - but he was feeling bad about being so negative around Lenny like this. She was such a sweet, kind and gentle soul, who had no idea of the horror his life circled around. It wasn’t right to dash her dreams so easily, was it? If she wished to believe in the possibility of happy endings - who was he to say that it wasn’t possible?  Lenny could find hers. He was sure of that. Sighing, he gave a small shrug, “I think maybe fairytales may work for you...but I don’t think I’ll ever reach my own happy ending”, he gave her a weak smile, “But that shouldn’t stop you from reaching your own. You deserve all the happiness this world has to offer, Lenny”.

He’s just going to plant himself in his husbands lap, curling up against his chest with a soft sigh. He really was so tired of studying and knew that he needed to take a break, but was so worried about failing that his brain wasn’t allowing him to switch off like he wanted.  “....how do you get your mind to just...shut up?”, he asked softly, not for the first time wishing that his bells worked on himself. A good sleep sounded like something mythical these days.

“Ah!”  With a small squeak he quickly sat up, having fallen asleep over a large book, sticky notes sticking to the top of his head as he patted around the area to locate his glasses. When had he fallen to sleep? Why hadn’t anyone woke him? He didn’t have the time to sleep - though his stomach giving off a loud rumble let him know it had been for a while.  “Yumeno? How long as I out for? Sorry...this chapter is killing me”, he sighed, picking off the notes from his head and pushing himself to his feet, “You must be starving thou, let’s see what we have...”

With the rise of the threat of Forbidden Knowledge once again threatening to spread across the world, Ilana was aware that she would be required once again to protect her people from the dangers that would come eventually. She’d already spent a lot of power back when she and the Scarlet King had worked together to ease the damage all those years ago, and she knew that to do so again, would require something more, something pure and new to this world. 

And this is how Nahida came to be. With Mila ( @crownshattered​ ), a combination of their energy was used to form the image of a small child, a future Archon, who’d wake when the world needed her, who would inherit the will and wisdom of her mothers. Ilana kept this ‘fruit’ safely guarded within the dream worlds of the Aranara’s, and allowed for the child to experience dreams.  But this plan was torn apart when Celestia’s wrath resulted in the early death of Ilana. Nahida was never supposed to rule alone, she was supposed to have the guidance of her parents, but with Ilana’s death, she was forced into being born before her time, inheriting the power of the Dendro Archon as the flower that had been her home opened, allowing her to enter the world outside of her dreams.

NIGHTMARE :  for one muse to comfort the other after a nightmare. (Garth)

a comprehensive list of scenarios

He hadn’t meant to scream.  He hadn’t meant to suddenly jump up, to lash out at the person beside him, to dig his nails into flesh, desperate to escape from the embrace that was trying to bring him some comfort. He’d thought that these type of nights would be a thing of the past. Here, he was safe, and he knew that - so why did his brain have to go and think of memories that he’d rather keep locked deep within the darkness of his mind?  “I’m...I’m...”, he was trying to apologise, but as it was, trying to simply catch his breath was almost an impossible task, “I...I didn’t mean to hurt you”, he finally managed to gasp out the words, leaning into the others side, shaking slightly. How selfish was he? To be seeking comfort now, when he’d lashed out only moments ago for such being offered to him? How was it that Harper could put up with him? All he was, was a headache, an annoyance - a weakling that couldn’t get over the trauma he’d been exposed to since the beginning of his life. 

“Sorry...sorry...let me see to that...”, he used one hand to wipe away his tears, sitting up a little more before he switched on the tableside lamp, “...did I break skin?”

Used to being used by those around him, it takes a while for Rai to warm up to those around him, especially adults. In any of his verses, his family have been using his ability to their own advantage, and he’s been involved in situations that have almost resulted in his death. Still, there was a point in his life were he craved for his mother’s affection more than anything, and from that time he’s learned how to act rather well, how to trick others - and how to flee as needed.

“ what’s your problem, huh ?! nobody loved you as a child ?" ~Mori to Vic

Can’t find Meme!

“Oh wow, I’m so hurt”  Rolling her eyes a little, she waved a dismissive hand, trying to ignore that slight twinge of pain that had came with his words. It wasn’t as though she wasn’t loved as a child. She may have not came from a ‘normal’ family, but both her parents were good to her and all her siblings - as good as parents training their children to become murdering machines could be, anyway. Her relationship with her father hadn’t been the best - and after Sabriel had been chosen as the Heir over herself, she had become a little bitter towards her mother too.  But who could blame her!? She was the eldest daughter. She was supposed to be the one to carry on the Nix Clan, and yet Sabriel’s skills had won over tradition. Who wouldn’t be bitter if their birth right was torn away from them? Sabriel was always the perfect child. As deadly as she was kind, as loved as she was feared - Victoria could never mimic her sisters charms.  “You’re insulting the memory of your in-laws by coming away with such a vague statement like that”, she shook her head a little, turning to walk off, “Besides, your one to talk.”
