SPIRIT BRINGS DEVILED EGGS (WHERE DID SHE GET DEVILED EGGS IN THE CITY?) BECAUSE HARRIS HATES DEVILED EGGS. But Willow will never know this—that Harris hates deviled eggs, I mean.

They are all sat and stood in the living room in Poughkeepsie. Well, except for Juniper. Juniper is reheating a rotisserie chicken. The Harrises love rotisserie chicken. (Sorry, Willow.)

"You write," Harris says and signs. "What do you—write."

Lila nods eagerly.

Harris doesn't care what Willow does, is the thing. These are just the conversations you have when your little shit bleach blonde sister invites a stranger to family dinner.

"Caelus, might I have a moment of your time?" There should really be some sort of auditory cue as to the general's arrival with all the ornaments and accessories and belts dangling from his frame, but nope. Here he is, standing (stooping, really, with how tall he is) behind the Trailblazer without a single sound.

"I've heard you're rather fond of peaches. I regret that you were unable to explore the Luofu's agricultural delves due to our Stellaron crisis; I wanted to make it up to you with the most recent harvest." He gestures down to the fairly hefty basket of fresh peaches cradled against his hip, not unlike how one would hold a small toddler. "This was gifted to me, but -- ah, it's far too much for myself. Please, feel free to take as many as you'd like. They're delicious, I can assure you."

...Is he being deceptively innocent with the gesture of sincerity, or is he really that oblivious?

The fact he managed to just appear, to ignore the natural tells his gear would normally give off is nothing short of stellar. Does it make Caelus surprised? No. For this absolute behemoth of a man was certainly a man of many talents. Right now, it looks as if they were on the precipice of having a heart to heart. "Jing Yuan.. Forget just a moment, there's plenty man. What's been running in that mind of yours? Oh!"

Peaches! ...Literal peaches. In fact, the quantity of these said peaches looked to abundant in both shape, structure and fullness. It's clear that the finest of absolute care was taken in order to highlight the beauty of each and every one. For an instant his eyes were busy surveying, ensuring that each bit of volume, from the top to where leaves serve as the crown, to the crevices that reflect its durable might. Needless to say, there was a presence that finds itself appreciative of such a.. avid view.

Yet it also begs the question. Were these some sort of wayward sign? Gratitude and confusion found themselves pooled into a confusing mixture, the sort it'd require grit and nearly foolhardy certainty to appropriately discern.

"Are all peaches this big on the Xianzhou? You can tell that life certainly finds their fill here.." Just reaching forth to take one, there's a particular heft that makes Caelus softly gulp as it's lifted. That uncanny valley between reality and the imagination, of fruit and form, it was beginning to electrify itself into a grand scope of the unknown. "I'm a Trailblazer at the end of the day.. Seeing views and experiencing sights etched into legend, that are full to the utmost, there's no doubt about it that I'd have to try these."

..Did Jing Yuan know? The question about the general would have to wait as those rowdy teeth would seize a good bite, the raw flavor and the near obscuring of his vision from this very peach leaving Caelus briefly stunned.

These were so damned juicy.

I know this is still technically Pride month. And I post to make pride related things, but today or maybe tonight is 4th of July. Meaning this is the date that our founding fathers fought the British and yadda yadda yadda. So, enjoy Willow shooting up some fireworks.

"You have my word that I will abide to the rules of your kingdom and your land. You have my word that I will treat you and your people with the utmost respect and dignity."

Udyati shivers, however, when the empress shows only a fraction of her power. If this made her shiver and shudder already, then what would happen if the empress unleashed everything in her arsenal?

"I---yes. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have in regards to my abilities." For a moment, Udyati gnaws on her lower lip. "This might sound a bit strange but out of those two options, which is the warmest? I get cold quite easily, you see. It's a birth defect."

And a long story.

1. It is derived from the word welig, which is the Old English for “willow.” These graceful trees are known for their elegant, “willowy” structure and ability to grow and prosper despite unfavorable conditions.

2. The prophet plants a seed and “sets it like a willow tree.” This makes reference to the willow tree's long-held symbolism of rebirth and vitality. In Leviticus 23:40, the willow is portrayed as celebratory, with believers being told to bring “willows of the brook” as a festival offering.

3. Helice (meaning 'willow') was Zeus's nurse, and was also associated with water. Her priestesses used willow in their water magic and witchcraft. The willow muse was called Heliconian (after Helice) and was sacred to poets. The Greek poet Orpheus carried willow branches on his adventures in the Underworld.

4. In Buddhism, a willow branch symbolizes the boundless mercy and compassion of the Goddess of Mercy. It is believed that the Goddess uses the willow branch to sprinkle the sweet water of immortality stored inside her jar to heal mankind.

5. The willow is closely associated with the Goddess Hecate in Greek Mythology. She was a goddess of wild places, childbirth and the crossroads, but later became known as the goddess of witches and ghosts.

6. In China, Willow is a symbol of immortality and rebirth. If a tree is deciduous and also has a weeping growth habit, like a willow, it is doubly out of favor in feng shui. Although these trees have a graceful beauty, their form suggests sadness. A weeping tree can never attract happy energy.

IT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF RESTAURANT A FORTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD MAN WOULD TAKE A TWENTY-SOMETHING-YEAR-OLD WOMAN OUT TO WHEN HE'S TRYING TOO HARD TO IMPRESS HER. A little moody, a little ostentatious, a hell of a lot overpriced.

Erik is still in one of the crisp white button-ups he wears to Coeus. There's a spot of blood somewhere on the thigh of his trousers, but thank god it's dark in here and for the napkin in his lap.

He keeps checking his smart watch surreptitiously. e72's vitals and periodic text updates from the research assistant assigned to observe the small white room.

"You should try the wine," he says offhandedly, noting her empty glass. "Our server gave an excellent recommendation."

I think there’s something about being a young woman that feels very murderous. [...] It can be dangerous for people to think you’re incredibly nice. When you get, ‘You’re an angel,’ that seems like such a high place to fall from. When I see messy or violent or terribly behaved women, especially young women, there’s a liberation. To not have to try and survive by being good.
