lantern rite......
[it's been the second year since he's met the Traveler. the second year they've asked for him to come to the lantern rite, and the second time he's refused. the mere thought of going into a crowd that big just makes his skin crawl -- he's a secluded person by nature, by everything that he's been through. no, it's much better that he's alone.
sitting at the top of wangshuu inn.
watching the lanterns.
he hadn't even really cared as much until the year before when the traveler had shown up and tried to talk him into going. him, an adeptus that had so much taint on his soul, one that he thinks may consume him one day...
but for now, he's sitting on the top of the inn. even though the inn itself was relatively busy, the innkeeper knew about him and didn't mind his staying here. he'd protected the inn so many times, and he feels like she took some kind of pity on him. not that he needed the pity of others -- he was fine just the way he was, alone and undoing the wrongs of the world.
but there is always a part of him since he'd met the traveler that makes him wonder...
no. he's not going to even consider it. emotions were something he'd buried a long time ago, and one certain person shouldn't be the one to unravel all of that. after all this time...why someone like them...?
it's just the little things he's thinking about as he starts to watch the lanterns float up into the sky, his legs outstretched in front of him on the roof. all those people he keeps safe in Liyue...it helps, in a way, to think about the safety and peace they're thriving in right now.
he'd do anything to keep it that way.]
