He reveals a neatly wrapped box and holds it out to him "Collei has a....friend in Mondstat. She had quite the collection of antique fairy tales and fold tales. I never saw these in your collection, so I figured you might appreciate this."

"Alhaitham. I heard it was your day of birth."

@the-former-general-mahamatra

yes, it is. why do you mention it?

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

Agreed. If I ever saw Collei doing those type of activities and fighting the Fatui on her own, I'd probably be launched into epileptic shock. Good she doesn't though.

"ELABORATE."

Shoot, shoot, shoot.. the scribe and kaveh are gonna kill me for this..

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

Cynos face twisted into a childish pouty frown "You wound me Haitham. Atleast try to be a little more upbeat on your birthday. You almost made me consider not giving you your present. Almost"

"Alhaitham. I heard it was your day of birth."

@the-former-general-mahamatra

yes, it is. why do you mention it?

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

"I've been taught a special song for this day by the wily students of the Akademiya. If you might hear it." He cleared his throat, trying to hide his laughter.

"🎶 Happy Birthday to you, You live in a zoo, You look like a monkey, And you smell like one too! 🐵🎂"

"Alhaitham. I heard it was your day of birth."

@the-former-general-mahamatra

yes, it is. why do you mention it?

Cyno points a spear at Dori's neck.

"Merchant. What did you do."

Shoot, shoot, shoot.. the scribe and kaveh are gonna kill me for this..

An investigator.

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

Cyno sits down with the most serious look a man can muster, yet his expression fails to match the words that come out of his mouth.

"Do you play genius invocation TCG?"

"You..you there. Suspicious looking gentlemen with the smiley face pin. Stop right there!"

@the-former-general-mahamatra

Me? And you Are You?

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

"My name is Cyno, and I am the prosecutor of justice in the land of Sumeru."

"Now I have a question for you.."

"You..you there. Suspicious looking gentlemen with the smiley face pin. Stop right there!"

"It's..it's not me feeling frustration per se." Cyno grumbles under his breath, but more of in a way that shows how upset he felt rather than any anger. "I feel like he's mad at me or something. It feels like he's always been...no, mad isn't the word. Maybe frustrated? Angry? He has some sort of negative feelings towards me, but he doesn't show it. I don't know if it's just me, or if I'm overthinking things, but never mind that. We can talk about it later."

Cyno found himself tensing up under Tighnari's dullness. It wasn't a good sign, it wasn't a good sign at all. "It is what's required for the job after all, unfortunately." he sighed dejectedly "it's only to keep the people closest to us safe."

He stroked Tighnari's left cheek affectionately as the other kissed him "You're right. Maybe it isn't salvagable. But maybe it is. You may, no, you will come to regret it later if you don't at least attempt to converse with her. It might give you more peace of mind, no matter how it turns up."

Cyno put his hands around Tighnari's waist and pulled him closer "I'll try my best. She's a smart girl, I'm sure she'll be able to understand. But Nari, we're all human. Or fennec...you know what I mean. It's only natural to lose our composure from time to time. Hiding it won't make you feel any better."

He pulled Tighnari closer to him as his heart broke into a million pieces.

…Cy

Where the heck are you.

Apparently Collei’s gone too, left in the direction of the…Akademiya for some reason—probably Kaveh and Alhaitham’s.

I have something to show you when you get home, if you please.

Bit sensitive. Both it and myself.

-@a-fennec-fathers-family

// Time for Cynari Naila drama with background “collei’s secretly at the Akademiya!”

(The way I cackled (and my househelp is here too she's staring at me like I'm crazy))

The minute Tighnari sent the text message, he heard a knock on the door. Well, more like pounding.

Knock knock knock

"Nari."

knock knock knock

"Nari."

knock knock knock

"Nari!"

When Tighnari flung open the door, he saw Cyno with a confused, yet concerned look on his face. Almost like one of a puppy.

"Are you alright honey? Your message seemed important so I rushed right over."

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

"No worries Nari, I pushed too hard." Cyno's face fell just the slightest, his bottom lip curling into a tiny pout. He pulled Tighnari into a tight hug, noticing his desire for attention "I never meant to make you feel worse than you already were. I'm sorry..."

Apon on the mention of his 'brother' his face fell even more "Sethos...its nothing. Forget I said it. I'm probably just overthinking."

"Really? I'm afraid I'm not doing a very good job at it... heh."

"I'm quite surprised myself, honestly. Especially with my status at the Akademiya. However, perhaps I had met her, and she just hadn't mentioned her name. Plus, my memory of my acadmiya days are very hazy, probably from the effect of the spirit."

"Say, what are your thoughts of asking for Colleis opinion on the situation?"

…Cy

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

Cyno smiles just the slightest at the kiss, giving Nari a little peck on his lips.

"I hope it wouldn't be too much of a bother to ask you to make some tea." He says, trailing water into Tighnari's abode. "Ah, my apologies for the mess. I'll clean it up once I manage to dry off."

(ignore the fact this ask is in my Collei account XD)

Tighnari opens the door seeing Cyno

“Is this for another joke Cyno?”

[the-former-general-mahamatra]

Cyno shrugged his shoulders "It's something Alhaitham taught me. It seemed to be his idea of a joke, although I don't really get it."

"How are you doing today, my love?"
