[DON'T PUT SALT IN HIS TEA!!!!!!! It was cute and gay, okay, even if it was nothing but pure unwell paranoia. Guess Nehan gets him back because he turns into a little plum out of embarrassment when he's ragged about being shy.
SHUT UP. He should have had a different canon point, and then no one would make fun of him.
He keeps his attention diverted to Childe while Childe speaks. There's no irritation at talk being turned to Kate because, unfortunately, he too loved Kate. She was such a good girl. Anyhow, Childe is free to dote in front of Nehan, and perhaps he and Nehan will bond of the sweet domestic feeling of caring for children.]
[ i keep opening this as haru because he's my default journal right now
Of course he very much cares for Kate, who doesn't. Unfortunately for everyone, he turns off his more doting personality around adults, though his ears lean back irritably at the mention of who was involved. ]
I still can't believe she was there. [ INSANE BEHAVIOR the horse was correct to kill everyone ] Though I'm grateful to hear none of you were behind... whatever that eyesore is.
[ meows were a mistake.
Anyway, he may be ready to rag on Essek and Aventurine both, but Childe hasn't drawn any aggro so he'll be polite. ]
While I can't say I'm very familiar with your world, I'm grateful you'd both travel so far to see us. Stardust Town is modest and remote, even by my world's standards. [ The sitting area is modestly small, but cozy and made cozier by all the throw pillows and blankets that Aventurine has inevitably supplied all the seating with, and even if the vases around the room are chipped or worn, they're filled with fresh flowers. ] Aventurine tends to leave things a mess, but he helped clean before you arrived.
I didn't hear a single kind word about me while I was gone.
[ Huffs a little as he returns. He's holding a tray in his hands, and there are four mugs filled with steaming tea sitting atop of it. It's probably some kind of herbal tea please i'm not a tea person i don't know assume it tastes fine. He will walk around to pass out the mugs, and then finally take a seat beside Nehan, setting the tray aside while he holds his own mug between his hands. ]
Oh, but a diplomat, hm? It must be so exciting having your opportunities for travel broadened in such a way now that the airport is available to us.
[ AND ALSO NOW THAT CHILDE IS NOT DEAD? He will look between Childe and Essek. ]
How are the two of you anyway? Everything's been progressing nicely?
[Haru is here now, just like Boothill and Manwol. Also I can't believe Aventurine made his least favorite tea flavor EVER... no I'm kidding he's not picky, he'll take his cup with a smile and a nod. Aventurine you are so good at being a housewife!!! Relatable.
Their banter makes him smile, because it is CUTE!! And because it tells him a lot about the kinds of people Essek is most fond of. Essek, you love menaces who lovingly bully not only each other, but also you. Admit it. The blushing is also very cute, but now they have teacups to hold instead of hands. Sadge.]
You didn't have to go out of your way for us, but I appreciate the warm welcome all the same. And we've been fine. [Doesn't know what Aventurine is referring to, aside from him being Not Dead-ish.] The airport gate's working nicely. We've both got some downtime right now, though I'm working on getting a modified version of our phones, so that I can travel a little more freely. It's... difficult to do so, where I'm from.
[DON'T ASK ABOUT ALIENS AND THE MULTIVERSE IN GENSHIN... IT'S COMPLICATED, and Childe is from the faction that knows a shitton about it but we haven't gotten to that part of the plot yet. It's fine. More importantly, he wants to be sure he can visit Exandria as often as Essek can come visit Teyvat, because it's only fair... and also because Essek described it to him and he is curious to see it. Maybe that's where they're going after this? Who's to say.]
[Nehan and Aventurine may not have this same impression, but there is a distinct feeling Childe wants to jump him from the chair over. Like a shark which has smelled blood in the water. Tea to distract.
He will have a careful sip.]
Thank you, Aventurine. You've become quite adept at the domestic trade.
[A single good word!!! Aventurine wanted some. Praise kink? Childe has one, too. Actually, Essek probably also has a bit of one. Sorry, Nehan, you are alone in being normal here. Wish Childe would stop talking ambitiously. Why are Nehan and Aventurine trapped between them wanting to attack each other for subtle attractiveness?]
Kate was alright, thankfully. She did very well, but she had a lot of people concerned about her.
[A brief, knowing glance at Childe out of the corner of his eye. They have been fine, he doesn't know what Aventurine is talking about at all, so he doesn't add anything to what Childe says.]
Thank you for inviting us. [Idly peering out one of the windows.] I rather like your town this way.
[He doesn't have a huge opinion on it being full of children outside of it's charming Nehan and Aventurine devote their lives to helping and loving them, but he does appreciate how remote and simple it is as someone who came from a well-populated, rich city.
[ if they want to have some PDA time, who am i to stop them...... even though i guess nehan is the only one here without a praise kink. what happened here.
He take the tea and assumes it is fine since he can't taste if it's overbrewed anyway. Good job, Aventurine. What a cute wife he is. Too bad his fishing for deets got him nothing just now because apparently Childe has no idea what Essekbowl is. ]
We could travel [ worldhop ] from the village, but I don't have much opportunity to leave.
...Still, I quite like it here as well. [ Both he and Aventurine both grew up in the boonies, kind of. Nehan does not long for a metropolis. ] Next time, Aventurine can take you somewhere more exciting. His world is much more advanced than anything I'm used to.
[ No, he's a terrible housewife actually, but he would rather die than make Nehan do any work for their guests.
Aventurine learns that Childe has no idea what Essekbowl is and decides to tuck that information away for a later time. For now, he's content to keep watch over Childe and Essek's dynamic, a half-smile on his lips to show that he's paying attention to the conversation currently taking place, while his lightless gaze remains studying. ]
Oh, yes. Give me the word, and I'll take you on a tour of my cosmos. I'm always looking for an excuse to pry myself from the office.
[ The pains of having a corporate job. He settles back against his seat, which i have now decided is a couch, swinging an arm over the back of it and resting it there, directly behind Nehan. It doesn't come into contact with the other man, though, mindful of the fact that his boyfriend doesn't like PDA. ]
And if you'd like help with your phones, I'm in good standing with a certain department that may be able to look into it. Anything for dear friends.
[STOP NOT THE PRAISE KINK AND THE PDA. I would say he doesn't know Essek is a big shy baby but by this point he probably does, so he just smiles ]
I might take you up on that later. Though, I'd need to explain a few things to Her Majesty.
[Sometimes it is just easier for everyone if you don't tell her too much about your dear companions and how to meet them. It's fine. He tilts his head slightly though, looking at Aventurine. Two lightless-eyes freaks.] You're not from here too?
[Woah... another crosscanon... wild. I wish he cared about gossip!!! (hei voice) sniffs]
[Sorry, but he looks up at this, a little interested. It isn't even about going somewhere more exciting, not for Essek.
Aventurine, you have really let Essek down in this friendship. You just don't tell him shit about fuck. He doesn't know a whole lot about anything related to you, barely knows much about you, and sure as hell never knows when you're hurt, upset, or probably even dying!!!
Still, even though he has been treated this way... he still has the curious look of a man who will have the worst FOMO if he does not get a chance to go sometime, too. You would weave him behind...? A wittle Essek who does not know anyting about his fwiend...? Yuul just sent me a threat as I was typing this, I'm really doomed after she reads this one.]
Aventurine and the gaudy way he dresses sticks out, but not enough to jump to conclusions like coming from a farflung, spacefaring universe, and a lifestyle much more glamorous and dangerous than sitting around in a tiny neighborhood like this. It's funny what a room of bigshots this is besides Nehan. Childe working directly for some kind of royalty as a diplomat, Essek as easily the most powerful of the Scawwy NPCs, Aventurine the Stoneheart. ]
He's not. He comes to visit me because I'm not allowed to leave here without clearance. I'm a ex-con, you see.
[ Nehan has no problem divulging his sketchy circumstances. He pats Aventurine's knee like they're an old married couple. ]
It's very considerate of you. [ But also tell your friends even 1 thing about yourself, Churin. ]
[ He turns to Nehan with a smile when he answers the question for Aventurine, huffing out a small laugh a moment later. ]
I still manage to steal him away at times.
[ Because of course he does. As much as he'd like for them to spend all their time together, they both have their own responsibilities. Even so, they make it work, and Aventurine is in a high enough position to bend the rules every now and again.
When he returns his gaze to Childe and Essek, he does so with an open friendliness. Yeah, maybe he's a cagey bitch 100% of the time, but what if a guy just doesn't like talking about himself, huh. Can you really blame him for that? ]
I'm from a cosmos that houses many planets, and work for the Interastral Peace Corporation. If you've any interest in space travel, I'm happy to show the two of you around.
[This is an incredibly stupid joke about breaking out of prison when he was falsely accused in the first place, and being a war criminal anyway. THE WAY THEY ARE TECHNICALLY ALL EX-CONS IN SOME CAPACITY. But Essek's business isn't for Childe to spill so he does not, instead just sipping at his tea in good humor.]
It's nice to see that you've made it work, though. [Long distance inter-universe relationships... wild... "childe isn't that what you're also doing" yeah but it's different because neither of them are on house arrest!!!] I can't speak for Essek's schedule, but I should be able to rearrange mine for at least a short trip.
[Take them to space someday... maybe he'll see Skirk out there in the sky]
[The way he knows a little more about Nehan than Aventurine, HIS BEST FRIEND (I'm kidding). He does know a bit about some of this, so he doesn't say anything because that is Nehan's (and he guesses Aventurine's now) business.
He can't believe he is besties with a lightless-eyed freak and now is dating a lightless-eyed freak. Why is he surrounded by this? Please get some light back into your eyeballs.]
...I'm free to go whenever there is time.
[Sometimes, you have done your duty in helping your friends vanquish a nine-mage evil, slap around a (historian voice) good friend's former deranged Sith mentor and two evil exes, and now you are a fugitive who really has nothing but to be on the run doing nerdy little wizard things.
Just with your boyfriend who you haven't talked to about, like, officially being your boyfriend at any point.]
THEIR ANTAGONIST COUNSEL... Essek if you were from a video game you too could've been a boss fight. Instead you had to go beat up another purple man. He's grateful that Essek managed to survive all this to make it to their nice tea party, and also apparently find time to have a long distance boyfriend(?).
Nehan reserves any judgment on this relationship as of yet, sipping at his drink briefly. ]
After all that's happened to you three, a vacation should be in the cards.
That would be so insane if Skirk was just traversing Aventurine's cosmos, but this is Hoyoverse and maybe one day, when we run out of hi3rd expies, we'll start getting genshin ones. For now, he gives an easy little nod at this agreement to come visit his side of things, with a small mental note to himself to steal Nehan away at that time as well.
Also, he gives Essek a look that very much says everyone is worried about you all the time before glancing at Nehan, and then back to the others as he sips his own tea. ]
... Yes, I had mentioned the one with the rocket launcher.
[ You know, because there were several lobster incidents during their graveyard stay. ]
From the sound of it, one of those games lured people in with that very idea, so be careful what you wish for.
[This is mainly a joke, but it is very funny that FinalDestinations happened before CRAU3. My god. Vacation to a 2week... if only Wriothesley was here to tell them more about it. AND STOP JUDGING THEIR FREAKY EYEBALLS. You go through a harrowing situation in a void of darkness and corruption ONE TIME...]
Ah, at the party? That was fun. [WAS IT FUN? For him yeah. In amusement--] I remember you two brawling on the floor before that happened.
[Don't fucking look at him that way. His brows furrow dismissively at Aventurine. Stop that.
Slowly, he closes his eyes when Nehan mentions the lobster, taking a sip of his tea to keep himself from groaning, and using it as an attempt to ignore Aventurine's worry.
Why the fuck would Aventurine mention that! WHY IS IT FUN?!
In the midst of his drink, he sputters slightly at the last part and quickly tries to cough to clear his throat and swallow to keep from falling into the choking strangle you get. AVENTURINE STARTED IT!!!]
[ please feel free to break tag order as a mingle because i am a vegetable
He doesn't want to fathom a vacation turned murder game. That's already what GBF summer vacation is like. He can't deal with it elsewhere. He's still sort of grappling with the reality of a bunch of people he knows disappearing without even noticing until they shamble out of a very cursed airport.
Thankfully, the existential dread of that is cut short by Essek being a maiden again. Offers him a handkerchief just in case, also faintly amused. ]
...Aventurine didn't mention that one. He could elaborate now, since Essek seems at a loss for words.
[ Why were the girls fighting... or having UST on a mingle party, I don't know your life. ]
[ Why WERE the girls fighting?? Even Aventurine doesn't know. He just sets his tea down and crosses his arms, looking very much exasperated. He hopes Essek chokes to death on air. ]
It's not as if I started it.
[ Did he start it? He doesn't think he started it. Literally all he did was answer a dumb party question, and then suddenly they were on the floor. ]
Essek was the one who grabbed me around the neck and decided he wanted to tussle.
[ And what was Aventurine supposed to do? NOT FIGHT BACK? ]
[Plants Nu in the ground like a radish. I almost typed pants. Also, belatedly, Childe is wearing a gold bracelet in addition to his usual accessories... he is becoming more gay with each death.
Anyway he clearly just thinks this is funny because he's annoying]
But wow, betrayal on all sides. He has no allies in this room (maybe Childe?), and he narrows his eyes at Essek before dropping his head on Nehan's shoulder like a sad, pathetic creature. ]
Nehan, you could at least pretend to defend me a little.
[ This isn't the united front they should be presenting. ]
