morning 。

@oculusfati be better though 。 )

i *am mad at you 、 but you’re still the brother who raised me 。 that doesn’t suddenly change because i don’t understand why you went down this path and did what you did 。

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

@oculusfati i used to 。

( he remembers the days when he ran his mouth so much it got him into trouble more often than it didn’t ; nowadays 、 getting him to spill what’s on his mind is akin to pulling teeth for most 。 he’s trying to »

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

@oculusfati i never said that either 、 but that’s kind of you to say 。

( he straightens up 、 adjusting his gloves 。 )

the fact you are my brother 、 for one 。 where i come from and who i was back then 、 who my friends were 。 many things 。

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

are you sure ？ i heard the creaking of your bones before i saw you approach 。

( he’s teasing 、 but his tone is flat so it’s hard to tell 。 )

i- hello? i am not that* much older than you.

disarray—evidence of his outlet for the day 。 stinging knuckles and protesting wrists a welcome pain to everything else he doesn’t want to focus on 。

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

pat drying his hands before rubbing a salve against bruised and split knuckles 、 wrapping them up 。 bits of rock and splintered wood of varying sizes on the ground around him—a wall crumbled and training dummies left in broken »

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

@oculusfati ( *he never said that 。)

it just keeps people from asking questions i don’t want to answer 。 i am transparent about a lot of things when asked 、 but *this is not something everyone needs to prod at me about 。

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

@oculusfati ( leans down slightly more so it’s easier for ved to better map his face 。 )

it’s necessary 。

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

@oculusfati ( only his own brother would be able to understand him 。 dain really *has grown though … not *too tall 、 but he is 7’8” now 。 approaches with caution—can’t be helped 、 he’s made a lot of enemies and he knows it 。 )

*i’m mad because i

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

( exhales loudly 。 )

*no 。 life is never so easy that i would delude myself into thinking we could just go back to how things were 。 too much has happened to *both of us—hell 、 *i’m nowhere near the person i used to be either 。 »

[𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈. @foulsinncr]

( an annoyed sigh. )

you want to go back to how we used to be while also disliking everything I have done and became in between that time, so while you can find the old parts of me appealing, you are conflicted about all the other parts of me. did I spell it out properly?

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

we don’t have to like every single aspect of each other for me to still give a fuck about you 。

you *are—to me 、 because honestly i don’t know your thoughts anymore—still my best friend 。

i’m mad because is i had to stumble upon »

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

you myself to even know if you were still fucking *living 。 i don’t know if being outside teyvat changes anything or not 。

do you hate me *that much that you couldn’t—i don’t know—leave me a note ？ anything at all ？

[—— Dainsleif , @OFLEYLINES]

figures 。

for all your battle prowess 、 you can’t stay focused on a single conversation ? really ？ do you *honestly have no idea what i mean or are you playing dumb with me ？

[𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈. @foulsinncr]

of course I bashed skulls against my own during battle, I like to hear the crunch before the life leaves their eyes.
