@favknight
this is yours! i drew it during any free time i had at the port. you've never been so—- i.. i thought you'd like a map of it!
@kartefink you... drew a map just for me? mika, you shouldn't have. thank you. oh..! maybe i can hang it on the wall?
i told you, i'm okay.. my ankle is just a little sprained. it'll heal in no time. (..) i didnt mean to make you worry.
@kartefink you - mika... it's okay. it's fine. i'm not.. okay. i /am/ worried but... at least let me help?
huffman? oh, you're home! i made dinner; was patrol exhausting?
;; this was the anon i didnt know i needed to see
˖˙ ..ow. there goes that painting…
@synthtics "ah... am i?" with a sheepish smile, he cleared his throat and gave a quick bow of his head. another apology. "if you say so, sir. are you.. heading somewhere in particular?"
˖˙ ⋆ delicately, he collects his scattered belongings, brushing off his coat meticulously. ⋆ you’re overreacting, huffman. it’s not a problem.
@synthtics are you sure? i really didn't - you aren't hurt, are you? you're okay, right sir? and please. if you need /anything/, please just tell me!
sir huffman . you’re working hard , i take it ?
@angelshre there's no need to thank me, master diluc. i'm just.. doing what i can, i suppose.
@angelshre if you insist, i won't press. but, really.. rest is just as important for me as it is for you. maybe even more so in your case.
ah, please—— huffman, your dedication to the chivalric conduct is never lost nor unappreciated by me, but i insist.. it is just a rose prick.
@mincisa it was odd, the knight thought to himself. odd that lisa was walking with /him/ at her side. he was just a simple knight. nothing special. all he wanted, was to know that her rose prick would get the appropriate treatment. yet, she had requested he /join/ her. the librarian's smile brought him out of his thoughts, brows raising upwards slight. he returned it with his own smile, before looking ahead of himself, brushing some hair behind an ear. "a favorite part? i would say.. my favorite part is early in the mornings. when people are just starting to wake up, or set up at their stands.. i like to see the city slowly coming back to life. i enjoy the night as well, but there's just something.. calming about the mornings here. [ ... ] sorry, was i rambling?"
[ a happy hum, sounded out and inconsequently blown by the approaching winds– caresses both the melody and the petals of hair caressing past beyond shoulders. stem of gloved hands are woven together on her back as they travel side by side on stairs. foot out, and push– she feels her heels dig into skin and the veined muscle beneath. a breath in, and out. it’s a pity: the outside world, vividly delectable for the open mind and eye, and her— paling. the still–green eyes find his own and wrinkle & shrink with a fond smile, ] say, sir huffman, if you so please: you must walk the paths of the city many times a day via patrol. do you have a favorite part of it?— the day to day life in mondstadt you bear witness to?
@mincisa "it was -" the knight didn't really know /who/ he had been asking. lifting a hand, fingers gave a light scratch at the back of his head. he watched her for a moment before his gaze darted off towards something else. [ only for his eyes to return to the librarian at her last words. ] /a face as handsome as his?/ huffman cleared his throat to mask any sudden surprise or embarrassment. "of course, lady lisa... how could i refuse?" he smiled.
… oh, huffman . you seem troubled - everything alright?
@synthtics o-oh! captain albedo.. you startled me. i'm alright, sir! just a little tired, but it's nothing a short break can't fix.
/* huffman will always be my favorite npc but bernhard is a lil ... ♡♡♡♡
no harm in just.. resting for the day, right? i'll clean the house and make dinner and you won't have to lift a finger.
@srveyors no, no.. it's alright. i'm sure you were busy. * he took a deep breath and leaned his head back enough to stare at the ceiling for a moment. * /everything/, huh...? er.. oh! do you know about the stormterror incident? or.. the darknight hero?
i really missed being around, too. sorry about, um.. the lack of letters and everything. especially recently. staying this time around, so.. you won't have to miss me anymore. ( the smile he puts out is small, just barely there, but it's warm regardless. ) you have to tell me everything that happened while i was gone.
