@sumPRlMUS || Honestly they should just both take care of her skksks Traveler has the final say anyway

[han 🌌 sanest pierro fan @pierroswife]

can we get an event where these two have a custody battle over paimon

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

-as noble as one might think. I simply do not want to be saddled with more expectations than necessary.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

Mhm. I’ll try. But it is an endearing concept.

[ He leans into her touch, his own arm wrapping around her to hold her close, warmth finding comfort in her cool skin. He briefly glances around the hall, to check their privacy, before pressing his lips to her temple. ]

It’s not -

[‍ ‍ ཧོ ଼ ‍ 𝒄𝔯𝔶ꨄ︎ ݁ ‍ 𝒒ᵘ ͟ ┈ 𝗲𝗲𝑛. @feodorovsya]

cease that thought. (she huffs ﹐ lighthearted———opting to intertwine their hands instead; frigid palm pressing against his warmth ﹐ seeking an oasis in her bitter frost.)

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

@sumPRlMUS And yet you only made yourself present in her life now.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

-partly for their self-protection, and due to the Akasha’s influence.

[ There’s a subtle smile on his face. ]

Now I’m imagining you playing with them. It’s a… nice thought.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

It’s not humility. I’m just averse to directing attention to myself.

[ Except of course, for those he wants the attention of. He shifts closer, his arm subtly brushing against the side of hers.]

They have… mostly hidden themselves away over the years. I understood this was -

[‍ ‍ ཧོ ଼ ‍ 𝒄𝔯𝔶ꨄ︎ ݁ ‍ 𝒒ᵘ ͟ ┈ 𝗲𝗲𝑛. @feodorovsya]

how humble. are you always making light of your own contributions to the success of the plan? (anastasya taps her fingers against her arm ﹐ considering———then ﹐ a nod.)

[Cyno. @EruditeExecutor]

|| When I do my Hoyo Dailies, I always play Zenless last.

Because as they say:

Laging nasa huli ang pag-ZZZ

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

-would be of more help in this situation. Their powers are not to be underestimated. I am confident she will be safe with them.

[ His eyes soften a little as she speaks of them. ]

You find them adorable?

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

Consulted, more like. It wasn't a big deal. It just needed to be done.

[ Alhaitham had a habit of downplaying his contributions— not out of false humility, but he simply did not want to be thrust into the spotlight. ]

Yes, they are. Creatures of pure wisdom. No doubt they -

[‍ ‍ ཧོ ଼ ‍ 𝒄𝔯𝔶ꨄ︎ ݁ ‍ 𝒒ᵘ ͟ ┈ 𝗲𝗲𝑛. @feodorovsya]

so it seems. the traveler told me you assisted in the creation of the new irminsul? a remarkable feat. (arms folding ﹐ head tilting to side.) familiars… you speak of the aranara.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

@polaristellae -like a single campfire in the forest. He would approach Childe, give him a short nod of acknowledgement, and speak.

"I hope you did not wait too long." Cue the murmurs from the crowd as it is revealed he was who the guest was waiting for.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

[ Someone stuck this on his desk while he was taking a nap. ]

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

@polaristellae -himself. But Alhaitham had never quite been the recepient of such acts— it was always people cowering in fear, or facing him with contempt and anger.

This was... Fascinating to say the least.

It was easy to spot the Harbinger, who stood out in a sea of green robes and hats-

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

@polaristellae || Oh yep. Heard about that too.

I was thinking of using him for Electro Charge (with Ororon + Ifa, possibly Yelan too). Or at least a Hydro onfielder for Freeze

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

|| That aside, I'm getting Childe for my free limited on NA.

I think he's the only character (not counting Aloy) that I haven't really tried out or understood the gameplay of, because I never actually got him anywhere while he was on the banner.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

- And while Alhaitham recognizes the risks, Marana is actively avoiding the gaze of Celestia. ]

I imagine my work will be confined to assisting the Akademiya in Sumeru City.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

Lesser Lord Kusanali... I believe she might want to attend on her own, though in the past, she has been accompanied by her familiars.

[ There was also the high chance he will be assigned elsewhere— the Aranara represent her more on matters like these. -

[‍ ‍ ཧོ ଼ ‍ 𝒄𝔯𝔶ꨄ︎ ݁ ‍ 𝒒ᵘ ͟ ┈ 𝗲𝗲𝑛. @feodorovsya]

i am. it wouldn't be surprising. the raiden shogun has already notified zapolyarny of her arrival ﹐ alongside natlan's archon. it is only a matter of time before the others arrive.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

Ah. Those things.

[ A brief glance towards the sky, then back to her. ]

I imagine you are expecting delegation from across Teyvat?

[‍ ‍ ཧོ ଼ ‍ 𝒄𝔯𝔶ꨄ︎ ݁ ‍ 𝒒ᵘ ͟ ┈ 𝗲𝗲𝑛. @feodorovsya]

mhn ﹐ i had to draft some paperwork and prepare for what's coming.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

|| Honestly, given the state of the world, it's the second part I'm more worried about.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

|| I've been trying to put this into words and I always felt like I couldn't say it properly but I suppose the reason why online fan spaces feel so hostile is because the paradigm of media critique has shifted towards cynicism and arguments in bad faith.

[Marana. @ReflectReason]

|| - therefore it's BAD' type of criticism.

It stinks of, at the very least, an amateurish, juvenile way of understanding narratives, and at worst, a litmus test of an average person's tendency to be skewed towards extreme sociopolitical beliefs (on both sides).
