[ he regards shouxue for a moment. the smile he then gives her is both soft and a little wry. ]

I intend to. You needn't worry.

[ he doesn't trust their contracts, either. he doesn't think there will be a return for any of them, unless they do something about their circumstances. ]

And what of you? [ her home... ]

[ravenry]

[ they're going to be SO FED.

she nods and points to the drinks aisle. they can go look.

they don't need the bland stuff. they can be fancy. mister richest in monstadt and whatever shouxue is. ]

[ravenry]

[ don't die on her, diluc. she likes you more than she thinks she should.

as for his question, her expression turns a little brooding. ]

It's not as beautiful as yours.

week 1, monday

[ravenry]

[ she is not made for this climate, but she doesn't want to skip exploring. she is in Furs, Feathers, and Fancies, looking for a jacket that will make her warming.

she bites her lip. ]

Fur will be warmer....

[pyromance]

[ shopping day! he glances over and nods. ]

It will. ...We can stop by the lodge later, if you'd like something warm to eat.

[ stay COZY! ]

I sent us back in time WEEK 2*

[ravenry]

[ she nods. ]

We may only be here for a week, but staying on the ship is stuffy.

[ she will BRAVE the cold for fresh air. ]

i didn't even notice :^)

[pyromance]

...I agree. It's nice to be somewhere else.

[ the ship is slowly becoming a grave site, after all.

anyway, he picks up one of the fur coats (with the stall keeper's permission) and holds it out for her to try on. ]

May as well see how it fits.

[ravenry]

[ that's so law-abiding....

she will slide her arms in. her mouth forms a little 'o.' ]

It's so soft....

[pyromance]

[ no he just has respect for merchants, coming from a mercantile background himself...

also hehe. i'm gonna say it's like, waaaay too big for her so she just looks like lil fluffy creature. ]

...We can try another size. You may have difficult walking around.

[pyromance]

[ don't YOU die on HIM thanks ]

...Will you tell me more about it?

[ he will not be offended if she says no. ]

[ravenry]

[ she's a big fluff ball now. ]

What matters most is if I'm warm.

[ walking can be secondary, but she relents. she shrugs out of the big fur coat and points to one that looks smaller. ]

[ravenry]

I live in the Inner Palace in the Imperial Capital. My palace is the Ye Ming palace.

[ she looks down at the winery. she doesn't want to dismiss his home to show hers. ]

It's different than the other palaces because it was built with black materials to signify the Raven Consort.

[pyromance]

[ he raises a brow at that, but doesn't comment as he picks up the smaller coat for her to try... ]

[pyromance]

...It must feel oppressive, being there.

[ even with his victorian goth sensibilities, he has to admit that's excessive. ]

[ravenry]

[ he was the one that suggested it? she was just pointing it out.....

she will try this one on, too. she is now only fluffy. instead of a fluff ball. ]

Is it better?

[ravenry]

... I do not mind the color palette. [ that's not what's oppressive to her. ] There is no other place for me to go.

[pyromance]

...A caged bird, then.

[ he looks displeased to hear it. ]

...Would you still wish to return?

[pyromance]

[ yes but consider being warm while also being mobile...

he inspects the length of the sleeves, bottom hem, etc. ]

Just right.

[ravenry]

[ she flinches a little for how correct he is. ]

Where else would I go?

[pyromance]

[ SHOUXUE :sob: ]

...With the technology here, you may have options.

[ravenry]

[ why does she have to be mobile... just let the elcs take her away.

she flaps her arms a little as if to test the mobility he wants her to have. ]

Very well. I will purchase this one.

[ravenry]

[ she shakes her head. ]

I do not think it is right to desert my duty.

W2 SATURDAY

[pyromance]

[ i'm fukken dying but here he is.

he doesn't even say anything, he just stands by the glass.

i'm too depressed to come up with weekly effects so he just looks like his normal self right now. ]

[ravenry]

[ she looks up at diluc from where she's seated. ]

... Diluc.

[ she knows he's even quieter than she is, so she... tries. ]

[pyromance]

[ if she's seated then he'll seat himself too. ]

Shouxue.

[ he truly doesn't even know what to say. after the past two weeks, he cannot offer her false hope or encouragement.

he does not think tomorrow will bode well for her, or for sheba. ]

...What was your duty?

[ maybe he can ask her about that. and about everything else he has not yet had the chance to learn. ]
