@ninebow: "I’m fine. there’s nothing for you to worry about."

"   cyno.   "   his   voice   is   firm,   the   calm   platitudes   of   the   young   man   from   the   akademiya   who   had   charmed   professors,   students,   and   matra   alike.   "   i   mean   this   with   no   disrespect.   "   he   takes   a   step   closer   now,   not   unlike   he's   approaching   a   wild   animal   -   even   if   the   general   mahamatra   has   always   been   the   furthest   thing   from   it   for   him.   a   man   that   stoked   fear   in   the   hearts   of   many   -   but   he'd   never   been   frightened.   perhaps   his   self   preservation   instincts   were   lacking...   or   perhaps   he'd   known   early   on   their   bond   would   be   forged   in   iron.   

regardless,   it's   a   gentle   hand   that   lays   on   cyno's   shoulder,   verdant   hues   casting   downwards   onto   the   equally   green   rug   that   has   developed   a   dark   stain   beneath   them.   "   but   i   believe   you   are   bleeding   on   my   rug.   it   is   well   within   my   right   to   worry.   "

@lupusmatra: ❛ i’m fine. there’s nothing for you to worry about. ❜ 

he's   used   to   cyno   dismissing   his   concerns,   used   to   the   general   mahamatra   creating   a   rift   between   them   for   things   like   this   and   this   only.   a   stubborn   creature   -   the   judicator   -   enough   so   that   tighnari   too   oft   feels   a   migraine   developing   between   his   temples   in   the   wake   of   what   ever   the   elder   had   gotten   himself   involved   with   this   time.   few   things,   of   course,   could   top   the   dismantling   of   their   government   regime   and   reinstatement   of   sumeru's   patron   deity,   though   the   forest   ranger   had   a   distinct   feeling   that   if   he   voiced   as   much   -   his   friend   would   take   it   as   a   challenge   and   find   new   and   unique   ways   to   stress   him   out...   so   he'd   keep   that   to   himself,   thanks.

"   all   these   years   we've   been   friends,   "   forward,   the   strider   leans,   a   damp   cloth   dipped   in   the   nearby   basin   and   rung   out   betwixt   clawed   hands.   he   raises   it   slowly,   dabbing   oh-so   lightly   at   cyno's   forehead   in   the   wake   of   whatever   ailment   he   was   assessing   for,   "   and   yet   you   still   choose   to   hide   yourself   from   me   at   times   like   this.   "

it's   a   gentle   scolding   -   and   whether   or   not   it   actually   bothers   him   is   hard   to   say.   but   there   is   a   backwards   flick   to   those   long   ears,   a   downward   turn   to   his   usually   pursed   lips.   he's   displeased,   evidently.   silence   stretches   between   them   a   long   moment,   mossy   hues   regarding   the   depths   of   the   singularly   viewed   carmine   one,   as   if   he   is   searching   for   his   answer.   judging   by   the   sigh   he   lets   out,   and   the   way   the   damp   cloth   lands   carelessly   next   to   the   basin   of   water   with   a   dull   thunk,   he   doesn't   like   what   he   sees.   

"   why?   "   comes   the   bite,   "   would   it   kill   you   to   ask   for   help   just   once,   cyno?   "

@zorkaya: ❛ i’m fine. there’s nothing for you to worry about. ❜ 

he   doesn't   need   to   see   the   blood   to   smell   it   -   even   through   the   heady   odors   of   the   forest   proper.   the   coppery   tang   is   not   easily   forgotten,   and   the   forest   ranger   is   not   immune   to   it's   overpowering   scent.   ears   flick   back   and   forwards,   before   zeroing   in   on   the   culprit   within   an   instant.   he   focuses   on   her   with   the   same   intensity   as   if   he's   examining   a   new   plant   sample,   frown   permeating   the   additions   of   his   delicate   features.   svelte   hands   fall   to   slim   hips,   but   instead   of   stern   and   dour   displeasure,   zarina   receives   the   burden   of   his   gentleness...   which   is   somehow   much   worse.   

ignoring   her   words,   tighnari   instead   steps   forward,   laying   a   gloved   palm   upon   the   spread   of   her   lower   back   to   angle   her   towards   his   hut.   "   why   not   let   me   take   a   look?   "   it's   not   a   request,   but   a   firm   demand,   surprising   strength   having   him   usher   her   towards   the   confinement   of   his   own   home.   "   i'm   not   stupid,   'rina.   let   me   help.   "

tighnari: a summary

[vulpinera]

@erabundus: ❛ you don’t have to keep me company, i’m fine by myself. ❜ 

"   did   you   know   -   "

there   is   the   quaint   sound   of   feet   upon   damp   verdant,   boots   digging   plush   into   moist   earth   as   the   forest   watcher   moves   through   the   trees   with   his   ever   preternatural   swiftness.   "   that   during   the   rainy   season   -   "   as   if   to   punctuate   his   words,   there   is   a   rumble   of   thunder   in   the   distance,   the   noise   reflexively   forcing   large   ears   backwards   and   his   body   to   draw   taught   like   his   bow.   it's   best   not   to   think   of   the   connotation   thunderstorms   might   bring,   especially   when   in   pursuit   of   strange   men...   children?   teenagers?   within   his   forest.   

"   -   many   types   of   fungi   are   twice   as   likely   to   attack   on   sight?   and   by   attack   -   "   a   hand   upon   the   root   of   a   great   tree   finally   has   him   nimbly   drawing   upwards   into   a   branch,   so   that   he   might   seat   himself   next   to   the   wanderer   beneath   the   eaves   of   foliage   before   the   rain   starts   to   fall.   "   i   mean   spray   their   spores   in   your   face   in   both   self   defense   and   what   could   be   considered   their   version   of   copulation.   "

"   so   what   i'm   saying   is   -   maybe   you   shouldn't   go   traversing   about   avidya   forest   in   the   rain,   unless   you're   prepared   to   become   a   fungi...   carrier.   "

(  you  know  that  dynamic  of  the  emotionally  closed  off  one  &  the  kind  one  they  have  a  soft  spot  for?  yeah,  that’s  the  vibe.  )

said from the lone wolf.

❛ you think you know me, but the truth is, you don’t. ❜

❛ going home isn’t an option anymore. ❜

❛ i’m fine. there’s nothing for you to worry about. ❜ 

❛ do you wish i was different? ❜ 

❛ i just, i don’t want anything bad to happen to you. ❜ 

❛ you deserve better than what you’ve got. ❜

❛ i guess we both lost something we were fond of. ❜ 

❛ i’m not leaving you out here alone. ❜ 

❛ you don’t have to keep me company, i’m fine by myself. ❜ 

❛ coming here to see you is the only place i could go. ❜

❛ i’m afraid of losing you, okay? ❜ 

❛ i know you probably hate me right now, and i get it. ❜

❛ what is with your weird fascination with me? ❜ 

❛ yeah, you keep on telling yourself that bullshit. ❜ 

❛ i didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, i just have a lot on my plate. ❜ 

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ if i could be a different person, i promise you, i would be. ❜

❛ people like us don’t get to decide when we’re done. ❜

❛ i’ve never had anything good happen to me when i trusted others. ❜

❛ you won’t survive out there. they tear all good things apart. ❜

❛ i don’t know what’s the truth or what’s a lie anymore. ❜ 

❛ you got guts, i’ll give you that. ❜ 

❛ the more you know, the shorter your life will be. ❜ 

❛ for the first time in years, i felt something that i thought had been lost to me. ❜ 

❛ what you think you’re going through is nothing to what i have been through. ❜ 

said from the soft spot. 

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ how is it that you’re never scared? ❜

❛ you think i’m weak because i’m not like you. ❜

❛ you wanted to be left alone, right? ❜ 

❛ how do you make the pain go away? ❜

❛ you shouldn’t smoke, you know. ❜

❛ destroy what is destroying you. ❜

❛ i hope you find the peace you’re searching for. ❜

❛ you know my door is always open to you. ❜

❛ i look at you and my heart breaks because all i see is loneliness. ❜

❛ you’re avoiding the subject and you know it. what are you hiding from me? ❜ 

❛ you’re not at war anymore, you can come home. ❜

❛ it feels like you’ve been avoiding me. ❜

❛ what are you so afraid of? ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ why do you care? you could have just walked away. ❜ 

❛ i know you. how else do you think i found you so easily? ❜

❛ if it was the other way around, would you have come back for me? ❜ 

❛ i just thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ are you jealous? want me all to yourself, do you? ❜

❛ i knew you had a heart. ❜ 

❛ can you look at me? please? ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ if you won’t take care of yourself, then who will? ❜

❛ you have something beautiful inside of you. it’s hard for some people to tell, but it’s there. ❜

independent   &&.   highly   private   tighnari   of   mihoyo's   genpact.   nsfw   present.   «   goose.   she/her.   29.   » rules below.

01. Independent / Selective / Private / Mutuals only. If I follow you, I definitely want to interact. Additionally, I am 100% Duplicate / OC / Crossover friendly. Multiverse / Multiship as well - and rarely do I do exclusives, though I will regularly do mains if requested.

02. Basic RP etiquette applies. Don't godmod. Don't metagame. I'm fine with things happening with advanced plotting but beyond that my muses are my own.

My activity can be sporadic. I run too many other blogs and like to take my time to make sure my threads and responses meet my standards. Feel free to send me unprompted asks at anytime, as I love those immensely. Additionally, I'm chronically ill and forever low on spoons with a shit memory, so poke me if it seems like I have missed something (i.e. haven't liked a response, etc). I don't mind!

03. I tend to use light formatting on my posts, and will on occasion use icons. Additionally, I am a rather wordy writer, usually about 2-4 paragraphs in length per reply. I don't ever expect my partnerts to match me word for word but quality over quantity is always appreciated!

04. No art on this blog is mine, and will always be credited either here or on my pinned post, alongside any graphic resources. I do tend to make my own graphics and kindly request that they not be stolen, otherwise I will be sad.

05. Shipping happens with chemistry. I love shipping, and if you ship with me I will forever be in your DMs dropping stuff like a cat bringing you dead birds - but I like a bit of a repertoire with the mun first, and to plot a little as well! The chemistry and plotting don't necessarily have to happen in any particular order.

NSFW will be present on this blog, potentially a lot of it, though I will try to tag and cut everything accordingly. Tighnari and I are both over the age of 25 and I don't shy away from writing smut, violence, or other dark themes. Because of this, I kindly request that minors DNI with this blog.

06. Get your drama out of here. I'm old. I'm tired. I want nothing to do with it. This is my hobby and if you stress me out over it I will 100% hardblock you and move on with my life. Standard DNIs apply as well. It's 2023, lets be reasonable.

Lastly, my Discord and UID (NA/Asia) are always available to mutuals upon request! Please hit me up at anytime.
