[ WAH UP HE GOES double super strength. bixing laughs, bright and happy - his injuries look a little better, or at least he's not wheezing since he saw uriel on thursday! but he just beams down at her when she picks him up, not at all fighting it and just kind of sticking his arms out. wheee ]
I think it's a great start. I owe you cookies! I think that was real, anyway - even if I don't, I'd make them for you again.
[ oh this is the warmest hug in the world. lu bixing is also very, very careful as he returns his hug - he's also a little too strong, and getting used to his biochip again is already a struggle, but once he does, it's a nice, warm, lu bixing hug.
he drops his head to rest his cheek on top of hers, trying very, very hard not to cry, and gives her a gentle squeeze. ]
I wouldn't have made it out of that if it wasn't for you. [ weh. ] Thank you.
[ for a minute he'll just stay like that, all cocooned and warm and happy, and then makes a little noise, putting his hands on her shoulders. like !! ]
I have so much to update you about! You guys have been to this place before, right? Do you have any recommendations? Let's get some coffee and we can talk. [ like a happy puppy. if he had a tail it would be wagging. ]
[ It's okay, he can crush her. she is stwong and handle anything. but she is so happy to indulge in such a warm hug. so cozy.
though she will brighten considerably when he mentions the new spot. ]
Yes! It was hard to get it across in messages, but we were able to see the next set of locations you would see a week ahead of time. So I've gotten quite familiar in that time! If it's coffee, there's a nice quiet little place further in.
[ she will pull away from his hug to take his hand into hers. though, before she moves any further, her wings are suddenly vanishing from sight. if because man these crowds down the path are Full. she will press close to him as she guides him along. ]
I've been doing a little work on the side with my chart, the gossip we were sharing really helped me on it, hehe.
Then, I'm counting on you to be my guide, Demon Like Judge of Fire. [ bixing says with a grin, and he's glad to take uriel's hand, swinging their hands lightly between them, of course as they go!
it becomes immediately obvious that bixing really likes it here. his eye lights up when they're looking around, and he settles into the rhythm of the actual city itself like it's nothing, moving with practiced ease through the crowds. he has no trouble guiding them away from puddles or gawking people or loud hawking vendors, even holding up a falling street cart canopy out of the way so they can make their way in. ]
so much. he feels as though perhaps he has been blessed to see this incredibly rare object. he will also turn a little bit so he can be a broader human wall in case anyone tries to peek at The Goods. ]
... This looks very, very well researched. [ help. turan would love this. he is studying this thing like a scientist. ] - Wait, Childe and Scaramouche? Really? And - Eto and Four? [ WHAT HAPPENED IN THE GRAVEYARD ]
From my observations, yes! Some moments can be quite meaningful if you look at it in the right angle.
[ what. and also ]
...? With Date? --Oh, was this during Trial?
[ haha well um ]
I was actually taken to another excursion right before the body announcement... I didn't come back until the middle of trial, and I was severely injured so I had myself killed so I could revive healed.
[ UMMMMM ] The revival process takes about three hours so I essentially ended up missing all of Trial.
SO IMMEDIATELY WORRIED, just like scooping up both of her hands and starting to scan her visually to make sure she's not still injured?! what the fuck!! ]
[ weh. he looks so fussy, but he will carefully squeeze her hands - it's like just a little too tight for a second, but he checks himself and lets go. ]
Every sentence out of your mouth is getting progressively more worrying, you know...
[ if it's a little too tight, she doesn't seem to react or point it out. she continues to give him a patient, warm smile. ]
It's alright, Lu Bixing. Really! I'm a Constellation, I've hunted over hundreds of demons back in the day, attended so many scenarios and battles... this is nothing for me.
[ she will reach for his retreating hand to gently squeeze. ]
I appreciate that you would worry over me even so.
[ huff!!!! he's a little huffy, but it's definitely out of worry. ]
Just because you're good at battling doesn't mean that you deserve to be hurt, you know. You're just as bad as Lin...
[ when will he get that through people's heads god!!! but, it's just worried, fussy complaining. ] Honestly... I'm sorry that had to happen to you back to back, too... I thought my luck with those things was bad.
[ huffs... she puts her hands down after a moment. giving him a look!! but there's a little twinkle, she isn't upset by his teasing. it's a bit fun, really ]
...It probably won't last forever. [ and that's being realistic, not pessimistic. ] But, in the meantime, despite everything I'm happy.
That's my girl. [ he squeezes her hand after and gives her a big grin. soft... happy. ] It's nice to see you this happy, Uriel. Temporary or otherwise.

she will hold him a bit longer before gingerly setting him back on his feet with a delighted smile.]
It was real. The four of us were really there to help you all along, if only we could have done more but. At least you are here.
[ not entirely unharmed, but here. she will hug him now, burying her face into him. ] It's really good to see you... I've missed you a lot.
[ she cocoons him with her wings too, all her feathers warm and bright with a soft radiant glow. ]

Your chart? [ help ] Did you actually...
no subject
and confidence. lot of confidence.
once they step their way into the coffee shop, and get their orders, she's guiding them to a quiet table so no one can peek.....
as she slides this over. ]
Yes! I've had it for a while now...

[ is she though. she does speak very confidently. ]
Ah, those two pairs... I haven't gotten official confirmation, but it's a feeling!!
[ what happened in the gy indeed. ]
no subject
[ help. bixing doesn't know shit about fuck he barely knew about his own romance until he had to test himself. stupid. ]
Tell me about your methods! Do you just look at them and know? [ a pause ] Did you see ... uh, whatever was happening with Date...?
no subject
[ what. and also ]
...? With Date? --Oh, was this during Trial?
[ haha well um ]

-- Wait, what?! Uriel! Are you okay?!
[ AAAAH HE LOOKS
SO IMMEDIATELY WORRIED, just like scooping up both of her hands and starting to scan her visually to make sure she's not still injured?! what the fuck!! ]
no subject
..actually, I lied. she probably has some healing bruises and scuffs. ]
I'm alright! When you die again, you're completely healed as you revive so anything I got from that excursion is gone. Just have the memories now.
[ uriel really did two excursions back to back. it was really funny. she will notice the lingering bruises though]
Oh, those are from sparring with Childe yesterday. He looked like he really needed a distraction from the past weekend.

That's true...
[ she won't tease him. just holding his hand now. ]
It's alright, I wasn't the only one. Chandra had been there with me as well. [ yeah, chandra also suffered two back to back.
also im gonna give you this because i love you, okay. but she looks fond when she mentions Chandra. closes my eyes ]
no subject
there's a pause and he thinks, what would turan say, and then grins at her, propping his chin in his other hand. ]
Sooo, should you be putting yourself on this thing, Uriel...?
no subject
her face flushes a deep red. ]
W-What? No!! Why would I do that??? [ I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, GOOD SIR. ]
no subject
You're making a face!
no subject
No I'm not!!!!

Uriel, hiding your face doesn't make you not make a face.

[ ah, her cheeks still feel warm.]
no subject
Good. He better be nice to you, or I'll beat him up.
[ this is
so obviously a joke ]
no subject
Nice isn't one of his finest qualities. [ said teasingly]
I'll just light his ass on fire if it comes down to it.
no subject
