'is that so? sorry about that.'
a quiet laugh as she took the bowl carefully from the princess. maybe one day ayaka will win the war with the potato.
'yep. thanks!' she smiles, putting the dry ingredients in the newly obtained bowl.
'we're making crab, ham and veggie bake.
“ ah — i’m being careful, you simply startled me. “ she retorts softly, though it is oddly difficult to navigate. the potato is slippery beneath her fingers and while she has mastery over swords — this seemed to prove a slight issue, likely from insufficient practice.
one day, she would be able to talk about her issues. what she had seen in inazuma.
for now, though, just having jean's company here was all she wanted.
a nod of thanks, fingers grasping around the porcelain in front of her.
'i'm curious to know what you've heard.'
moving the tea cup to her mouth, she paused.
'... i wouldn't want to ruin the happy atmosphere around here. but i do appreciate the offer, jean.'
maybe
a smile sent back, wordlessly pouring her a tall cup of tea — sliding it over soon after.
“ i can only begin to imagine, i’ve heard a thing or two about inazuma.” a worried gaze towards her.
“ if you — want to talk about it i’m here, but if you prefer not to, i won’t push.”

waves crashed against the crux as lumine quietly stared out into the sea. something seemed to be on her mind, her facial expression hard to read fully.
once she heard a pair of footsteps approaching her, orbs glanced to their owner.
'oh, it's you, kazuha.'
to make the blonde feel a bit queasy. still, she moved on.
-- she suddenly wished she hadn't progressed.
in front of her, was a familiar person, someone she had longed for.
(someone she sobbed over for hours in the night.)
'aether...? is that really you, aether-'
@OUTLANDERISMS
lumine's eyes fluttered open, her body sitting up.
(what a strange dream--)
silently, she began to scan the room. nothing was out of the ordinary. but a gut feeling in her stomach begged to differ.
(--and yet, something still feels wrong.)

fingers clutched the scarf rather tightly around her neck, as her legs continued to move.
(what was out there?)
the pit of worry in her abdomen continued to grow, the feeling now starting

ah, how peaceful it was to eat a snack under a tree-
-- that's what lumine had thought until someone decided to startle her, causing the blonde to scream and drop her skewer of meat and mushrooms.
her snack!
'h-hey! what was that for?!'
@HYDROANTINOMY
it was quiet, nothing out of the ordinary in mondstadt.
... except for someone staring off into space by the gates.
(or at least, that's what it looked like to lumine.)
to not startle the person, the blonde called out to her.
'what are you looking at?'
@NYAVINDR
legs kicked back and forth slightly on the stool, eyes wandering around. they only wandered once more before orbs fixated onto the bartender, her drink in hand.
'ah, thank you, diluc.'
smiling, lumine took a drink of the purple juice. yummy.
@STlTCHWRAITH
quiet footsteps walked around aimlessly, as the female thought to herself. what should she make to eat...? or should she eat at kiminami's? so many options-
a sudden group clamoring in front of her caught lumine's attention. what had everyone so excited?
