arrival

( Childe comes from a place where the elements are easily used with Visions and the Archons walk among the people even if they try to keep it hidden. The Tsaritsa doesn't, of course, and neither does the Raiden Shogun but the others keep to themselves. It still doesn't prepare him to come to a place like this where he's asked to take care of a little cottage and raise fruit trees in barter for everything else he might need. It's nothing like life would be in Snezhnaya. It's soft, too soft, and Childe isn't sure if he's prepared for such a soft life. A life without the Fatui, without political machinations, without anything but peace? It chafes at him. He needs the blood of the fight.

It takes him all of a few hours to look at the cottage he's in and he thinks that his family might like it and for that reason alone, he thinks fondly of it. Still, he needs to see other people and see what happens here so he makes his way toward a marketboard that isn't too different than the one near the Feiyun Commerce Guild in Liyue Harbor. When he sees someone pass him, he gives them a smile that he hopes is disarming and full of charm. )


I've just arrived and I have no idea what goes on here other than raising fruit in a garden which, I'll be honest, isn't what I'm used to. Am I lucky enough to have found someone who's been here for a while?

merry-go-round

( Merry-go-rounds don't exist in Teyvat as far as Childe knows unless they're in Fontaine, a place he hasn't managed to get to yet. It's an interesting little contraption, though, and he can't help but think how much Teucer would love to get on one. It's the thought of Teucer and the pang of homesickness (he gets it sometimes, yes, but now he's not just a boat away from home, is he?) that drives him to go and get on one of the horses. There's someone next to him and he makes polite conversation until suddenly the horse turns to them and says he's going to take them on a date. Childe can't remember the last time he went on a date but it's almost certainly before he was a Harbinger and it didn't go as well as the other person had wanted it to go. He's charming, sure, but he's not one to open up easily.

The horses take them to a flower garden, a place more beautiful than any he's seen in Liyue or Inazuma, and when the horses say there's a condition on their return, Childe just rubs his hand against his forehead. Of course. This place is full of more tricks than he is and he thought he was someone quick to cross and double-cross. It seems more harmless, though, than he has ever been. )


So, do you want to make flower crowns? I used to make them for my brother and sister. I happen to think I'm pretty good at it, actually.
