" Can't get me ! " He's still running, laughing.

Slaps his cheek after the wet and hot tongue of the deacon, yelping. "Hey you!!"

He can be annoying too ! Licks Lohen's cheek and books it out of there. Catch him if you can.

A new day, a new chance!!

💭 [ If Lohen knew about me, would he let me have a nibble ... ? ]

💭 [ If Lohen knew about me, would he let me have a nibble ... ? ]

He didn't persist. This was Lohen's decision to make. If he wasn't yet ready to see his parents, there was no point in pressuring him. And besides, if things didn't work out, Dahlia would've been at fault. He followed Lohen, easily catching up with him. +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

He stops, frowning once again, both of his eyes now nailed to a patch of grass that's the most interesting thing he's ever seen right now. "...Nah. Some other day." He brushed Dahlia's hand off his shoulder and started to march towards the city. Some part of him wanted to turn back and do what »

" Maybe they had other plans for you, but I'm sure they're proud. Even if they don't know how to express it right now. They'll come around eventually. They'll understand that this is your calling. " He pat Lohen's shoulder again, trying to be a supportive friend. But in truth, he didn't +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"But they didn't want me to fight. I don't think any of my deeds will convince them to let me live my life." His eyes squint at the house, whose chimney has started to emit smoke. "They are probably about to have lunch." He commented in a lower voice, bringing his eyes to the ground. »

It's nighttime. Which mean he's going out to hunt for some fresh blood. Probably a stray treasure hoarder, or maybe one of those pesky Fatui agents. No one will know who was the attacker anyway. ✨

Dahlia's smile disappeared as well, as he listened to Lohen speak. Each confession sadder than the last. He sighed, taking a seat on the rock next to his friend, his gaze pinned forward, but not quite looking. He was lost in thought, trying to pick the best words to reassure the other. +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

His eyes stood where Dahlia had patted his shoulder, mouth curling down to a frown. "Even if their kid didn't turn out to be what they wanted?" He wasn't really expecting an answer to that question. "They wanted me to keep going with the business. A quiet life of craftsmanship. The most »

" They're your parents. They'll recognise you in the blink of an eye. " he reached out, patting Lohen's shoulder. " I'm sure they've liked you all along. Maybe they had trouble showing it, but no parent dislikes their own child. "

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"Prft... hahah." His laugh sounds bitter, regretful. "You don't know them. The last time they saw me, I was a tomboyish girl leaving the house to kill monsters." He turned to face Dahlia, winking an eye. "I don't think they can recognize my voice anymore! Do you think they'd like me now?"

He pushed himself away from the rock, standing next to Lohen. " Why wouldn't it be ? They're your parents. I'm sure they'll be delighted to see you after all this time. "

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Lohen scanned his face for signs of lying. It took him a few seconds before releasing Dahlia, sheathing the knife in his garter. "Ah... Alright. Yeah. I was thinking of visiting. But is it really worth it? Hmm..." He turns to face away from the Deacon, crossing his arms on the back of his head.

Dahlia blinked a few time, smiling innocently. He wasn't afraid of Lohen, even if he knew his friend was a little ... eratic. " Not much. Just you, sitting there. Probably deciding whether to knock on the door, or not. "

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

That's not enough of what he wanted to hear. He quickly pressed the his hand on the young man's neck and pressed him against the rock. His eyes were fixed on Dahlia's. "Just how much did you see, friend?" He purrs, the edge of the blade almost kissing the deacon's jaw.

" Of course. What, did you think I wasn't concerned about you ? " That genuine smile makes Dahlia smile as well, mindful to keep his fangs hidden. Lohen doesn't know his secret yet. Though, knowing him, he would be excited. " You found a new group of them to terrorise ? " he laughs a little. +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"Hahaha... oh dear. Is that concern what I hear?" He quickly abandons that poorly made surprise face to a genuine smile. It's always nice to see people worrying about him. "I'm fine. A little bit bored, but that's something the treasure hoarders are taking care of." He swings the knife in his »

Dahlia can see right through him, but decides not to call him out on it. He seems upset enough as is. " I snuck out for a morning walk. " he shrugs. Which wasn't entirely a lie. " But nevermind me. How are you holding up, now that you're back in Mondstadt ? "

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

...huh? He stopped in his tracks to turn and see Dahlia. That's... surprising? He adequately masks his face with a half-assed expression. "Dahlia? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the church?"

Rushed footsteps echo behind him, until Dahlia catches up with him. " You okay ? " He'd seen Lohen sitting outside the house.

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Ah, this is getting nowhere. He gets up from the rock and walks away from the house.

Dahlia peeked out from his hiding spot, grinning at the Vice Captain. " Thought you might need a surprise shower, since it's so hot today ! " In reality, he was just playing a silly prank on his friend. Which wasn't exactly unusual. He'd done this many times in the past.

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Hardly offended. At this time of the day he's coming back from training and a sweaty mess, now he's a soaking sweaty mess. "Hey! That was uncalled for?!" His hand had immediately gone to his thigh, caressing oh so slightly his throwing knives. Felt the edge of the hilt, scrapped with the nail... »

He's just going to use a ball of Hydro to soak @lepus-bellicus.bsky.social. For fun !

" Hm. That much is true. I haven't had any complaints about you since your return. " He was sucking on the candy while talking, not realising this was all part of Lohen's elaborate plan to ... cause trouble. Who even knew what his intentions were at this point ? +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"You wound me, deacon. I have been on my best behavior since I returned to Mondstadt. No stabbing, no intimidation, nothing. Come on, I deserve a little trust! Don't you think?" He was making conversation to pass the time. If his calculations are right, the 'surprise' core of his carefully »

The thirst is real today. He's going hunting for a lone treasure hoarder to feed from.

" We both know you're the type to do that. " he held up a finger, waving it as if tutoring while sucking on the candy he was given. Being half human, he could easily taste the sour apple flavour of the outer shell. In fact, he could consume any human food and not get sick. Which was a blessing. +

Ⳑⲟⲏⲉⲛ@lepus-bellicus.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Lohen pats his chest with an indignant look on his face. "Poisoning? meeee? I would never." Yes, he would. Not this time, though. "This is just a new flavor of candy I'm trying. Do you like it? sour apple with a surprise core. Heheheheh."

He may or may not be eyeing @lepus-bellicus.bsky.social, as if he were the most delicious snack in all of Teyvat. Hungry Dhampir is hungry ...

" Is it safe, or are you trying to poison me again ? " A small, playful laugh. Before taking a small ball and throwing it in his mouth. Not that human candy could affect a Dhampir, even if it was bad or poisoned.

"Do you want some candy?" Offers green colored candy balls from the palm of his hand.

What are you plotting this time ?
