@titanofknights i was under the impression that we all already knew that he's gay.

@forestsurviver i'll make you three meals a day, i'll keep you warm, and i'll tend to your injuries. all you have to do in return is promise me one thing. are you ready to hear it?

[🝁 · . ˙ ｡︒· ⸺𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘹 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢 @viiclavis]

@forestsurviver the only people who come here are those who you can trust not to hurt you, and i'll tell them not to spread word that you even exist. you will live here until you feel safe to descend.

@titanofknights not particularly, though i didn't know you wanted to please me that badly.

@gelidcaptain, shall we place bets on who will push grand master varka off a cliff next? i'll buy you a drink if you win.

@silenciangelus ( he stiffens up just a little, though his smile seems relieved )

then thank you for taking time out of your day to do Master such a favour. i hope She's doing well—and that you are too.
have you been writing anything new as of late?

@forestsurviver i have a duty to make sure that man faces consequences for whatever it was he did to you so long as you are within the borders of mondstadt.
tell me who he is and you will never have to think about him again.

@forestsurviver ( his eyes narrow and his heart sinks. for her to be this horrified by even the chance of being found... )

( he takes a moment to think, making his voice stern when he goes to respond: )

@forestsurviver who is it you're hiding from? you can stay here until i make sure they'll leave you alone, and take you back to the city only after that—how about it?

[🝁 · . ˙ ｡︒· ⸺𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘹 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢 @viiclavis]

@forestsurviver you /will/ be found there. i will find your corpse buried in snow half-way up, just like everyone else who's attempted the climb. the conditions are too severe for even a fully-trained adult to want to risk it; i don't want you to even try.

( breathe in... then out. )

@forestsurviver ( it's only once he doesn't hear her eating anymore that he speaks again: )

let me know when you want to go back down the mountain. i can take you to the adventurers' camp, or to the city, but you can't stay here.

@forestsurviver ( albedo quietly watched for just a little, to make sure that she's enjoying it, before turning away and looking through his notes on some earlier experiment. he'd like to give her at least a little privacy. )
