With my medicine, I'll be alright. I think I likely only received one vote - from Childe, who must have been infuriated when I didn't leap to his defense.
[ but also... lmao. ] I didn't know anything he was doing, and I wasn't going to let him throw me under the bus, so.
[ he kisses her cheek, sweetly. ] I don't break my promises. I do mean that.
[there's a little flash of heat, and then:] Like he wouldn't have thrown you under the bus if it'd been convenient for him.
[she holds him a little more tightly. deep breath. she feels like she hasn't taken a real one in hours.] Things are - they're getting pretty scary here. Things are getting scary.
[her shoulder rolls a little, like she's absently trying to itch a scratch without letting go of him.] Don't break your promise. I don't think my heart could take it.
[ that heart, after all - since lup is entrusting him with it. he makes a soft hum, reaching up and finding her shoulder to give a little scritch scritch. ]
... So they are. I think tonight, though, we can take a moment to rest - every victory deserves a celebration, small as it may be. Normally, I'd think drinks and wine bottles until I can't see straight.
[ a pause. ] ...But, I can't hardly see straight at the moment anyway. [ with a little huff of a laugh, he reaches into his sash and pulls out his liuli glass, setting it back on the bridge of his nose. ] So, perhaps a pleasant evening of just the two of us will be even better.
[ hmm, bad. he doesn't regard it, though, just filing that away for tomorrow's zixi. ]
Depends. Are you feeling up to yours? [ a beat. ] Otherwise - I would prefer mine, if only because my nose is so clogged with pepper that I don't believe I could feel my way out of a paper lantern at the moment. I will willingly admit that wearing your glasses helped me with a bit more than reading.
[ oh good. he laughs, though, having to lean back a bit to sniffle and rub his nose. by this point its at least a little better. ]
I went on another last ditch investigation with Mineo, scouring the airport. Aoi's homemade pepper spray was on the ground, and Gluttony's cat went running off and came back covered in blood. I went to catch the blasted creature, couldn't see, and knocked into the spray.
[ going on investigations blind is bad actually ] I told Mineo he was a terrible seeing eye dog.
Well! You're not wrong. You're also a big old dumb for going on an investigation when you can't see or hear, but I'll let you slide for now because I like you so much.
Come on. [off they go. she's going to spoil him. honestly i can't promise she's not going to like, try to blow him while his senses are all super heightened? i'm sorry she's this way]

A pleasant evening sounds good. [she leans forward to press a kiss to his nose.] Do you want to go to my room or yours?

Did you get pepper sprayed? [someone might have not been awake to see it oops] You dingus, I can't believe you!
Yeah, let's go to yours. I'll wash your hair for you?
