The ability to appreciate beauty is an important virtue.

I understand.

[If that's the only thing he can do, then that's what he'll do.

He reaches out to take Eiden's hand, gripping tightly for a moment before it settles into something more normal.]

...Will you tell me more about your world? Anything about it.

[silicone]

Hah. Sure... which one?

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh tilts his head slightly, because he doesn't know an isekai.]

Which one?

[silicone]

Well... I was born on Earth. It kind of looks like Japanifornia. But... almost two years before all of uh... this.

[ gesturing with his cup, he points a finger and one small photokinesis light ball shows up, green and blue. earth. another one appears near it, and this one shimmers like some impossibly beautiful gemstone, colors colliding. he points to it. ]

I ended up in a totally different world. The one that Yakumo is from.

[ohthehumanities]

[He leans over as he sips his wine, looking curiously at the light balls Eiden summons.]

Oh--so you're like the Traveler, then.

[silicone]

[ oh...! he blinks ] Really? They ended up in... your world? From another one?

[ sips wine. ]

[ohthehumanities]

Something like that. I don't really know much about it, just that they're searching for their sibling and traveling the world. To be honest, I wouldn't say I know them that well--I've only spent a little time with them one-on-one.

[He's known them for months]

Two years is a long time, though... do you miss earth?

[silicone]

[ traveler busy binch ]

... You know, after today... I don't. I don't miss the overtime work, or the way I'm broke all the time... I like the Klein Continent, and... [ a small huff, his eyes are fond. ] I'm the new Grand Sorcerer. They need me.

[ohthehumanities]

[He huffs a laugh, because that's too relatable. Sometimes you are the closest thing genshin has to a normie millennial.]

That sounds like an even worse job than Grand Sage. [But he says it like, wryly, not meanly.]

[silicone]

Eh, it's got a couple perks... the job itself is... really exhausting, and we have to travel all over, but.

[ a warm smile. ] The people I get to come home to... it's not what I'm used to. But I... think I like it a lot.

[ohthehumanities]

[Aww, Eiden. Kaveh's gaze softens at the look on his face, and he squeezes Eiden's hand again.

He can't imagine Shen Qingqiu or Gyuhyuk allowing Eiden and Yakumo to separate. He doesn't say that, though; doesn't want to turn Eiden's thoughts toward melancholy.]

I'm glad. You deserve a loving home. [Not just an empty building.]

[silicone]

[ laughing a little bit as he stares into his cup. ]

There are definitely days when I can't stand any of my clan members, though.

[ohthehumanities]

[He smiles a little.]

Why's that?
