This is Diluc.

[While Diluc shuts off the stove. Kaeya cuts the bread. He doctors the slices according to their individual tastes. He sets Diluc’s on his plate and takes a bite out of his own.

It’s as good as last time they got bread from the bakery. His tail wags behind him and thumps against the back of his chair. He doesn’t mind showing Diluc he enjoys the food. The bacon is quickly devoured. Since this change he needs more meat than he used to.]

[He swallows his eggs. Starting the days with Diluc has been a dream come true. They are not the same. He can hear a much more cheery voice in his memory.

Some days he doesn’t have an answer for him. Today he does. He checks the tea and it smells right. He pours it for both of them.]
I’m going to go for a run this morning. Then I thought I’d get a look at their library again.

Family ties and legends or myths can form bonds. I’m curious what that means.

*Familiars

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-07-26 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Supposedly legends are do-gooders who are on the side of what they feel is right. Zealots and paladins of justice. I am a bit surprised you don't have wings made of fire. But not all good things are flashy, are they? [He waves a hand and smiles into his tea. If he were his mother's son, he would be a legend. But he can't. His ear twitches.] Familiars are the between. The shadows, the greys.

It is quite fitting for me. [A royal who won't rule. Who instead is an authority in the country he's supposed to be spying on? Yes, there are so many reasons for it. He sips his tea.] Good tea.

I can tell you let it steep a little longer to make it as strong as we both like. The hint of bitterness to mix with the floral aspects is nice.
shadowsincryo: (Can I hide in you awhile?)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-07-29 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Are you thinking to teach there? [Kaeya asks as one ear flicks. He works through the rest of his breakfast. Then he says,] Let me know what you find about it.

I’m quite looking forward to looking into the library.
shadowsincryo: (You are the faith inside me)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-07-30 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. I’ll be sure to share all the information I get my hands on. [Thump, thump. There goes his tail wagging without his permission again. He has started to pretend it is happening to someone else and he’s just a bystander.]

If you start teaching there, let me know. I can plan out lessons with you.
shadowsincryo: (I don't remember)

[Each time Diluc smiles Kaeya becomes more animated. He leans towards him, tea in hand. He smiles right back at him and it is a softer smile.]

We’ve made a good team these days too. You do tap me when things are going strange around Mondstadt. We just lack our networks. A shame but, they can be rebuilt.
shadowsincryo: (follow my instruction)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-08-02 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I've noticed. And there are quite a few protective types around that could prove useful. There is a knight commandant who would be most useful in some organizing them.

And a huntress who has a way with words. [Vex and Flynn respectively have caught Kaeya's eye. Others have as well but not as much as his playful debates with Flynn. He sips his tea again and breathes in.]

...Ah, I forgot. It seems I can blend man and wolf. It's an odd shape but might prove useful in the future.
shadowsincryo: (hush now)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-08-03 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Much more. [Kaeya says with a grin. He sips his tea and reminds himself to try the wine he found at the market tonight. It could be a wonderful brew.

He waves a hand.]


And yes, that Flynn. He seems to share the same workaholic view as Jean. I’m sure you noticed.
shadowsincryo: (In this masterpiece I made)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-08-05 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly would be. I am at your disposal for it. [He takes the chance to reach for the strange shape and shift to it. A wolf man with dark blue fur patterned with the stars sits in his place. His chest is covered in pale white fur. He grins and his wolf fangs catch the light.]

After all, I have as much experience with constructing patrol routes.

I couldn’t let such strange magic sit in me without trying to find out all the ways it bends. I think I can do more with it.

But so far, everything is wolf themed no matter how I shift. [He cracks his neck once. His chest fur is fluffy. His diction is perfect despite the shifted teeth.]

I wish I could change my fur but, that hasn’t been doable. Anyway, patrol routes. We need a rough estimate of who would be up to working on that. A log book of shifts…you know the protocols.
shadowsincryo: (This masterpiece is only mine)

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-08-06 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks, eye wide. That had really slipped out. He tail thumps against the chair leg.] Should I see him first, I’ll be sure to let him know to add me to it.

And you can touch it you know. I’m very soft. [Tease Diluc a little? Of course.]

[He smiles and doesn’t deny it. His tail wags a little. His fur is soft to the touch. It is thicker on his chest. He leans into the touch with a soft sigh.

He lets being petted. It’s soothing and Diluc’s hands are always warm. He closes his eyes and relaxes like a pet that’s been given all the attention they wanted.]
shadowsincryo: (I'm a believer)

*likes being petted

[personal profile] shadowsincryo 2022-08-07 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins but doesn't open his eye. This feels nice enough he could doze right back off.] I told you.

[But he feels compelled to keep talking.] Thank you for breakfast. It was wonderful as always.
