[There is going to be a very long silence because g'raha WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK!!!]

...I asked for this. [Inhale. Deep sigh. Okay Kaveh we're just gonna dissociate a little, we're good.

If he breaks it down, it's outlandish, but don't most of the pieces for this kind of thing exist? Tirzad Hirbad's paper was abject nonsense and Kaveh's not sure about the concept of the Golden Slumber or Pairidaeza but the Traveler has no reason to lie...and time stasis is a proveable fact, so leylines moving people about through time is at least plausible. As for the rest...]

It sounds like it was a lonely sort of task.

[ramuhs]

Oh she'll hate it. But she'll get used to it, perhaps even fond of it eventually.

[empyrean_mirror]

speaking from experience?

[He Knows.]

...

And you're okay with that? With me telling you this story?

text;

[empyrean_mirror]

Why wouldn't I be?

[scooba]

Because it's childish....?

[empyrean_mirror]

[Freminet you are a child?]

So? There's nothing wrong with that.

[scooba]

[Not when he's usually told to stop being childish!!]

Really? Isn't it a bad thing to be thinking about stories and fairytales?

text;

[empyrean_mirror]

Of course not. Dreams are the wellspring where art is born...I'd never think of it as a bad thing.

You're a talented storyteller, Freminet.

[ramuhs]

Living proof.

[HE IS VERY SELF-AWARE and has no shame.]

[scooba]

...You really think so?

I always thought it was silly to think about such things...

text;

[empyrean_mirror]

Of course I do.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little silly sometimes. The world isn't only built of serious things. Joy is also what makes the world.

[empyrean_mirror]

I am happy for you and worried for your safety only slightly.

[afflatusexarch]

Here I gave you the condensed version of events. The full tale is far more head spinning, I assure you. There are many things that happened after as well.

[ Another chuckle and a soft smile. ]

I wasn't alone, do not worry so. The people of the Crystarium were a joy to watch over for the nine decades I was with them. They worried over me quite needlessly. I hope that they are doing well even now.

[empyrean_mirror]

Nine decades...

[He laughs a little weakly.] I suppose it shouldn't surprise me. With so many long-lived beings in Teyvat...age is really hard to judge by appearances alone.

[But he still lowkey though G'raha was younger than him...]

[ramuhs]

Don't worry, lad, I know how to handle things.

I'm sure you'll learn a thing or two, too.

[afflatusexarch]

Most races of my own star only live approximately eighty to a hundred and ten summers. Viera are the only ones that may live upward to two hundred and forty.

Regardless, this body is twenty and four.

[empyrean_mirror]

Cid please do not take this the wrong way

but I am not sure what things I am supposed to be learning about the Lady

[Bro he is so gay coded he gets blamed for turning alhaitham gay what do you want from him.]

[empyrean_mirror]

...No one really knows how long youkai or adepti live. In the stories they don't tend to die of natural causes.

[Sighing, and scrubbing his face a bit.]

Well, that explains one part. A part of you is younger than I am.

[ramuhs]

[....PFFTTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Cid is laughing so hard right now hold on he'll get back to this—



Okay.]

Not the kind of learning I meant.

I meant you'll figure out how to deal with your own "lover conflicts."

[empyrean_mirror]

[Well now he just spat out his coffee.]

excuse you????

[ramuhs]

Am I wrong?

[JUST SIPPING HIS OWN RIGHT NOW.]

[empyrean_mirror]

I'm sure I haven't got the faintest clue what you're implying.

I don't think Lyney has that kind of power LOL

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

As well as I can, though there's quite the ringing in my head I've only just managed to quell.

[He was able to hold his liquor better than Kaveh, but he wasn't immune to hangovers. Those last three glasses of wine were a mistake.]

[Speaking of...]

Ah... Mr. Kaveh, is it alright if I talk to you about something?

I don't think he'd have to try very hard this time

[empyrean_mirror]

Oh...I understand that completely.

[There is a pause. He remembers more than he's told Alhaitham but that doesn't mean he remembers everything...oh dear.]

I don't see why not.
