Quest Catch-All and Other Things
WHO: Kaeya Alberich and you
WHAT: Catch All for October
WHEN: All of October
WHERE: Wherever the quests are, otherwise Sunwaning
WARNINGS: None, but I will update should that change.
Fashion Favors
[Kaeya did enjoy trying out new fashion trends, but a quest where he had to create something himself? Color him intrigued! Also, the fancy signs helped. While the style he was assigned wasn't exactly something he knew the definition of, once he was shown the options he had to try and get creative with, then the ideas started flowing.
He pocketed the assignment and went about browsing the fabrics and accessories. He had only been to Sumeru a handful of times and it was closest Nation he could think of for this kind style. He held up a pair of white pants with lovely golden embroidery to his waist to sort of eyeball if they would fit.]
Hmm, I think these ought to do...
[This is the outfit he will ultimately end up with.]
Sinking Treasures
[Like Kaeya would really pass up going treasure hunting. Okay, yes, he generally would if all it was just bits and baubles. But possible enhancement to clothes and armor? Now that was actually useful. So, he made his way to the Great Ocean Lake and towards the large island bearing turtle that had surfaced. He had been told that feed it snacks would also keep it aloft for awhile longer so he had a bag of treats with him as well.]
I think we have enough snacks for the turtle so allows us to obtain at least one of these treasures, don't you think?
[He could have probably done this alone, but where was the fun in that? He liked going with a companion for silly quests like this. It was also hardly dangerous, unless they get dragged under by the turtle. But he was confident that wasn't necessary.]
Training
[While he had not been lacking in training, Kaeya did feel like he hadn't done as much as he would have were he still in Mondstadt. The same also went for his horse, Umbra. For once, he was quite glad at how into sports and competitions Dayrise was known for. Kaeya didn't mind training, but he was hardly the type to get into random competitions with the folk here, no matter how good-natured they seemed. But today was different and he found a field specifically for archery and horseback riding. He set up several targets along a well worn track that appeared to be used for what he was already planning on.
Then, he selected a bow and a quiver strapped to his waist. Mounting Umbra, he fired a few practice arrows while Umbra stayed still. After making a few adjustments to his posture and where the quiver was, he nodded to himself with a "hyah!" and a nudge to Umbra's sides, they were off. Umbra rode hard and fast down the track while Kaeya shot at the targets in rapid succession. They all hit the target, but not all hit the bulls eye. Still...]
Hooo...~
[He reigned Umbra in as they cleared the track and turned around, trotting back so he could collect the arrows to try again.]
Better than I thought, but I think we can go a few more rounds to do better. What do you think, old girl?
[Umbra nickered and bumped her nose on Kaeya's outstretched hand, just before he nabbed one of the arrows. He chuckled and patted her neck.]
I thought so.
[They continued to make their way back to try again, nodding to any who happened to also be there for practice.]
Kaenya - Locked to Ayato
[Kaeya in cat form was a grayish blue domesticated cat. The blue-tinted cat was becoming well known in Sunwaning, although Kaeya did find it amusing that no one really put two and two together in all his time here. Why, you ask? Because while Kaeya was in cat form, his eyepatch changed with him! It became small enough to fit his smaller body and managed to stay on with ease.
Never the less, it was definitely interesting running around Sunwaning as a cat, the culture seemed to adore cats and often offered him food and free scritches. Kaeya was lapping up all the attention and it was definitely a lot more relaxing when like this. It also made gathering intel and scoping out the area so much easier when you looked like some random stray cat.
Although, he did have to be mindful when running across anyone who actually knew him more deeply than an acquaintance. So far, the locals had yet to make the connection but that didn't mean someone from Mondstadt or Teyvat as a whole wouldn't! Of course, that didn't mean he was always successful in his stealth...]
Wildcard
[I also have Kaeya on the Full Moon Mingle. If you want to do a different quest, just hit me up! I don't have a plotting comment, but you can DM me on Discord, here, or Plurk

no subject
And miss an opportunity like this? You should be aware if you transform into something like this people will want to take advantage of the moment. After all, you're much cuter in this form.
no subject
[Kaeya huffed. There was no escape! But he supposed a man who knew how to manipulate water could keep a good hold on him. He righted himself at least a little to press his paw against Ayato's cheek, squishing it.]
Aw, does that mean you think I'm cute even in human form? Oh my, I'm blushing!
[Can a cat blush? Either way, Kaeya was not.]
no subject
Hm? I suppose you have some features people would deem attractive, though I couldn't say you're my type.
{ one arm holds kaeya in place, while the other reaches for that paw. }
Besides, I think there's likely someone else who you'd prefer to call you cute, isn't there?
no subject
[Kaeya was quick to pull the paw away, quite entertained to play around like this even if he still wasn't all that keen on being held like a baby. But it is what it is.]
I don't really mind who calls me cute. A compliment is a compliment, I say. Well, unless it was someone I detested but it is pretty difficult to be on that list.
no subject
{ and now he is apparently catnapping kaeya, as he walks away from the spot he was initially found and keeps trying to scritch his ears now the other seems to have given up.
the fact that kaeya is talking is getting them some weird looks, but he pays it no mind. }
Out of curiosity, who is on that list? Of course, only if you're willing to share.
no subject
Also, Kaeya was very aware he could just change back and likely cause them both to land on their asses but he really didn't want to suffer that either. So, he dealt with this for now.]
Not so much uncomfortable as they would not be people you know. No one here, I can assure you.
[It may likely ruin what little mystery he had as a very blue Abyssinian with an eyelatch roaming these parts but his investigations had led him to not finding all that much anyway. Besides, cats were not the only animals he could change into so it would simply be a matter of changing species (and maybe eyepatches) if need be.]
no subject
I see. I would hope you'd be a good friend and warn me if they were to arrive though, wouldn't you?
{ kaeya, how many people even need an eyepatch? it's a dead giveaway. }
no subject
I doubt you would need to be worried. In any case, don't you have something more important to do than bothering a poor kitty cat in an alley?
[It wouldn't be worth biting or clawing Ayato. Despite his attitude, he did enjoy the other man's company.]
Put me down already.
no subject
{ more scritches are given around his ears, careful to not knock the eye patch. }
Besides, you're quite warm and we're in the cooler section of this district.
no subject
[Kaeya was seriously contemplating changing back after all, sore backside be damned should they fall over or he gets dropped. The scritches felt nice, they always did, but he wasn't going to tell Ayato that.]
Liar.
no subject
{ but at the accusation, he glances down, smile turning all the more amused. }
Only partially. You are actually quite warm.
no subject
[He sighed heavily and wiggled around Ayato's arms, not in a way to actually try and escape, but to get onto his shoulders.]
Let me up. I don't like being on my back like this.
[He was going to have choose his next animal form wisely and go without the eyepatch.]
no subject
{ does kaeya think he's going to get off easily? he will help him turn, but it's only to lean him against his chest, arms and face looking over his shoulder as his arms wrap around kaeya.
this is probably worse. }
no subject
I'm not talking to you while staring at your backside!
[Huff, he uses his back claws to try and pushing himself up so he could try and get onto his shoulder properly. The man had broad shoulders like Diluc, he was certain he could find a semi-comfortable sitting position of some sort. Ayato may have heard some form mutterings to the tune of: "brattier than Diluc..."]
Good grief, I probably should have picked a smaller species.
no subject
{ he'll even pause in walking while kaeya tries to get himself settled in place, eyes shifting to the side to where he thinks he can hear those mutters from. }
Either way, it's interesting to think of Diluc being bratty at all. He seems much more polite than someone I know.
{ you, kaeya. }
no subject
[Kaeya replied with ease, finally settling himself on Ayato's shoulder. It wasn't any different than before, but he was facing forward now. He sighed as he settled.]
I like talking to people's faces, not backsides. That's the polite thing to do.
[So, there!]
I assume he told you a few stories about our childhoods?
no subject
{ and sometimes, kaeya, you want to be a lil impolite for a sneaky peek. }
He did, yes. It was a rather amusing exchange.
no subject
[Kaeya's ear twitched, his visible eye looking up to Ayato's.]
So, what stories did he tell you?
no subject
{ he tilts his head to give a teasing smile in return to that, and since kaeya is settled now, he'll reach up, as though unable to resist petting his fur. this time it's just behind the ear- }
There was one about Diluc wanting to taste some of the wine from the barrels, and how he dragged you along for the ride even if you were much shier and less mischievous than him. He also told me that despite your punishment being less severe you still went to help him with his.
no subject
Ah, I remember that... it took me a number of years to grow used to being in the Ragnvindr family. It surprises me to this day how soon they took to me after I arrived. Would you believe that Diluc hardly touches a drop of wine these days? After hearing that story?
no subject
It's not as surprising as you may think, considering my housekeeper is originally from Mondstadt and doesn't drink either. But considering what I've heard of your temperament as a child, I assume it took you longer to get used to them than the other way around?
no subject
I think Diluc was just excited to have someone around his age to hang out with. Not that there weren't other kids, but the Dawn Winery isn't exactly located within the city.
no subject
I see. Honestly people were rather... unwelcoming to Thoma as well in the beginning. I assume you also had to work hard to be accepted by the locals? Though Inazuma is... possibly much more difficult.
no subject
[Kaeya opened his eye, his gaze soft and distant.]
He was a good father to me. [His ears perked and he gave a small cough. He hadn't meant to say that out loud and easily changed the subject. His gaze looking for more amused now as he met Ayato's eyes.] So, I tried to stay out of trouble. Not that I really could with Diluc constantly looking for it and taking me with him. Even got me to join the Knights.
no subject
I didn't realise Diluc was the reason you joined the Knights, what spurred that on?
