[ i think churin is 19 but essek can spiritually be 20. also stop trying to homewreck in my house.
Their nosiness pays off; even with the general (and expected) vagueness, they're enlightening answers. He'd worked closely with Essek, attached to him and the others insofar as four shady assholes can be attached, but they hadn't had so much time to delve into each other's personal lives with the divide between living and dead, broadly unaware of what the other man's taste in company is like.
Ambition, mutual understanding, decency where it counts. Nehan mulls the answers over, as well as his own, taking a moment to stir his tea. ]
Would you be mad if I said it was destiny?
[ He taps his spoon lightly before looking to Aventurine. ]
Actually, I don't know why you approached us. I doubt Essek was any nicer to you than I was.
[ it's because we told yuul to audience us oocly so we could make fun of cloudurine ]
[ AVENTURINE IS IN HIS LATE 20S NOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH
He smiles at the responses, taking note of the way Childe paves a little path for Essek should the other man want it, and Aventurine hides a different kind of smile from behind his cup of tea. It's clear they're still figuring each other out, but from where he's sitting, his friend is in good, caring hands, and that lifts a bit of weight off of his shoulders.
And then here comes their own moment under the limelight. He immediately turns to face Nehan, his expression expectant like he's awaiting a shower of compliments. But he gets something better, something far more entertaining, and he laughs as he smoothly joins right in. ]
That's right. You'll have to call it fate! I've always considered myself to be lucky, but meeting Nehan must have been written in the stars of the very cosmos.
[ It's so ridiculous, his tone lively and animated, but that's Aventurine for you. ]
I thought the four of you treated me very hospitably.
[THIS IS SO GAY... I, PIXI, FIND IT SOOOOO CUTE AND CHILDE KIND OF DOES BUT HE'S ALSO LIKE DAMN NO WONDER ESSEK SPOUTS OFF CHEESY LINES AND GETS EMBARRASSED IF THESE ARE HIS INFLUENCES. Not that he didn't already know Aventurine was a bit of a ham just from seeing him around--like recognizes like, after all--but it's amusing to see it in this context.]
Written in the stars, you say? [This is kind of funny both because Essek and also because Genshin. Don't worry about it, not important.] You first met in the village, then, yes? You didn't know each other beforehand?
[I think about how Essek the turbo bottom virgin had to be the one to tell Childe that a lot of people fall in love fairly quickly because he thought it was normal to take forever to trust someone and open up. So funny]
[nu is like please stop tagging this thread so fast
Is it awkward to pose a question to which you genuinely want an answer to a person who you maybe kinda sort of had a crush on, who rejected you because they are a single-target shithead, only to have the idea a truer love was destiny or fate plopped in your lap?
Bittersweet maybe. The sorrowful joy of knowing someone important who is undeniably happy. Is it wrong to have these sorts of feelings when there is a man present whose encounter may or may not have been the same?
Stars and cosmos is so funny with these two just sitting here.
He glances away, though it's clear he is listening rather than checked out of the conversation. After a moment of gazing through the middle distance of the floor, he seems to realize he is unfocused, so he looks back again and has a sip of tea.]
We didn't.
[That is all he will add to what Aventurine says.]
