welcome home

Who: Venti, Yuri, Saya, Lumine, and Kantera
What: A moment of respite
When: March 4th
Where: A house at the far edge of Blossomcrown
Warnings: Probably mentions of previous game trauma/violence


[ Venti has always been the type who wanders to the beat of his own drum, dipping in and out of people's lives as easily as the blowing wind. But Tokyo-F . . . changed things, somewhat.

Though his initial instinct had been to sleep under a tree and call it "home," an invitation to live with old friends put a halt to those plans. For starters, it would be protection from the unpredictable weather in the segments. For another, maybe he did get used to having a bed and a room to call "home," in no small part because of the teammates and friends who inhabited it with him. Now that solitary tree feels . . . lonely, in a way it didn't before.

And so here he is, standing at the threshold of a house full of people he loves and trusts, who asked him to stay . . . it makes him feel his age, but not in a bad way, for once. Nor does he feel that nagging urge to disappear into the wind.

Should he catch anyone watching him, the pensive expression dissolves into a smile. ]


Hehe, is this the part where we fight over bedrooms?

I'm not punishing you or him. I'm trying to get some space and think.

...It doesn't matter what his intention was. Good intentions can still cause hurt. Sometimes there's no coming back from it. I won't know if this is one of those times for a while, but I sure don't need his side of things spelled out for me, because I had no doubt he didn't intend to hurt me. I only need to decide whether that matters enough.

But hey, now at least I know where you'll be at if I decide I'm done. I'll have to live with being a disappointment, but I'm damn well going to do it somewhere else for a little while.

[ Sure does feel like a punishment, when he suggested several ways you could be alone without worrying him and you told him you had a right to 'deal with' the point he'd made however you wanted. Sure does feel like a punishment with that parting shot. But okay, Zari. ]

I'll have my phone with me.

[ Part of her wants to take her phone out and throw it to him. But instead she'll silence it as soon as he's out of eyesight. She just keeps walking. ]

12:01AM Just so you know

12:05AM Nothing I said tonight came from anything but caring about you

4/?

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
12:06AM And I'm sorry if that didn't exactly shine through
12:06AM Or didn't shine through at all

12:10AM But the intent was never to tell you how to feel about anything with Doc
12:11AM Because that's always going to be your business and yours alone

6/?

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
12:15AM Even if I think you're making a mistake
12:15AM And I'm not even sure if I do or not
12:15AM It's your mistake to make

7/?

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
12:23AM Disappearing into the segments was crappy of you though
12:23AM You know even you're not invincible
12:23AM And you know Doc and I aren't the only people who'd be hurt if anything happened to you

8/?

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
12:24AM So next time just punch me in the face?
12:24AM Unless Venti and Lumine did something to piss you off too

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
12:31AM I really just want you to be happy
12:31AM And ideally in one piece
Edited 2023-06-22 04:44 (UTC)

done!

12:33AM Sorry if that's selfish and not what you want right now
12:33AM I'm kind of an asshole sometimes

Read at 3:32pm

11:23pm: I'm not ready to talk yet. But so you're not worried, I'll be staying elsewhere for the night. A few nights, probably.

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-06-22 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thanks he hates it. ]

11:30PM Whenever you're ready

[ Good news is she comes back two days later. ]

[ Bad news is she's there to pack some things, and she tries to get in and get out before anyone can spot her. ]

Ouch.

[ Just, leaning in the doorway of the kitchen. He hadn't actually started breakfast, but he would've, if he hadn't caught a glimpse of her fleeing. ]
