Hey Moron have you been keeping up on your studies or are you still no more than a portable campfire?

[leafwhistle]

You know I've learned more than you give credit to my intelligence.

[lyingstars]

I haven't seen you use magic for a month so you'll have to prove it to me. I've almost finished my studies entirely. If you need help again I might be willing to give you my time.

[leafwhistle]

It's not my fault you haven't. I didn't start learning for your approval.

If you wish to provide me your time I won't turn you away.

Scaramouche hasn't realised that you have feelings for him, has he?

[leafwhistle]

[This is unexpected. He doesn’t know how to respond for a bit.]

I feel friendly towards him. He’s accepted that.

[vennessa]

[Oh, Kazuha.]

That was not entirely what I meant.

[leafwhistle]

[He knows well what she meant and he was just being evasive, but it seems like she wants to talk about it.]

Our friendship is complicated and what I feel about him is not an exception to that. I think he is very beautiful but I don't think he feels the same way. He often belittles my intelligence or complains about my appearance. I can see why he hasn't noticed my interest. It's fine, though. I would not wish to pressure him into anything.

delivery

[lyingstars]

[Upon returning home one day, Kazuha will find a small package and jar on his porch. Within the package he will find a rather expensive bottle of high grade sake and some momiji manju, while the jar is filled with some leaves and twigs with a rather large onikabuto crawling about inside it. Upon closer inspection he will find a small note that was likely tied to the jar at some point, though it reads no more than a 'It's too big to stay in the jar for long so don't keep it in there Moron'.]

Kaedehara Kazuha.

I realize we have not spoken much since our first encounter in Takamagahara but I would like to request help with a certain matter. It is something I lack experience in and it is... for a special occasion.

[leafwhistle]

Hello, Xiao!

Don't worry about the time spent since we last spoke. As a wanderer, this is a common occurrence for me, and I hardly mind. What can I do to help you?

[baneofallevil]

I remember you having a way with words. Eloquent and Impactful.

Would you be willing to help me with writing a poem? I have never written one, but they are meaningful works of written art that I believe would be the best gift for the one I love.

[leafwhistle]

Thank you, that's very kind of you.

I'd be happy to help you with some poetry. I admit, I am not very skilled yet at the styles found in Liyue, but I enjoy them a great deal.

[Some time in the early evening of April 30th.]

It's my birthday today.
Kaeya pointed out to me that you might find it important to know.

[leafwhistle]

[So many feelings go through his heart and not all of them positive; fortunately Kazuha is an expert at wrangling his emotions.]

Happy birthday, firefly. Did you have a good day?

[phoenixblessed]

I did, thank you.

[There's a pause, and then another message.]

I didn't keep it from you on purpose. My birthday hasn't been a cause for celebration for me for several years.

[leafwhistle]

It's your day. You can choose to spend it however makes you happy.

I'm happy that you had a good day. Creating new, fond memories in the present can help alleviate some of the burdens of the past.

Good day. Might you have some time to spare on the 1st of June?

[leafwhistle]

Miss Kamisato,

It's good to hear from you. I like to live my days here without much of a plan, dealing with each day however it leads me. In that case, I would be free on this day. What would my lady have have in mind?

[mistsplitter]

I would like to invite you to a housewarming luncheon. Ayato and I will be moving into a home here, so we won't be staying at the dorms anymore.

Morning, love.
Hope I find you well.

I recently fell prey to one of those localised time surges and it has brought up memories of more recent - or I suppose they are recent now - events around Mondstadt.

I seem to recall hearing tell of a famous Inazuman samurai getting drunk on wine and falling asleep at a table in the Angel's Share. Apparently he spent the night there. The funny thing is, this famous samurai matched your description down to the last detail.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you?

[Diluc, of course, knows very well it was Kazuha. He's just being a little shit.]

[leafwhistle]

[Not a message he expected to get from Diluc in the morning and it flusters him probably far more than the man has ever managed to do. He only choked on his morning tea a little.]

So you heard about that.

[With how long it took time to catch up with him here, he was hoping it would maybe be more time.]

Falling asleep in your pub was a humiliating experience. It wasn't my intention to consume much alcohol. I hope you heard from the staff, rather than any hearsay from the locals.

[phoenixblessed]

I believe most of Mondstadt heard about it. The whole city was abuzz with talk about your visit.

[A famous samurai, visiting from so far away? It's the most excitement most people in Mondstadt have seen since Stormterror was vanquished.]

But as it happens, it was Charles who let me know about it. I'm just pleased you found the wine to your liking.

[leafwhistle]

[stop Diluc you’re killing him. His face is matching his hair pretty well.]

Disappointing to hear. I’m very uncomfortable being the subject of any gossip, positive or not. At least the people of Mondstadt didn’t follow me.

[This boy was not built for such attention. Maybe things would be different had his clan not fallen to ruin.]

Your wine was very good. Quite sweet. I admit I had assumed it was simply fruit juice.

sept 28, morning

[mistsplitter]

[ Kazuha will receive a nice and intricate midnight blue box with gold ribbons delivered to him in the morning. Inside are snacks, but prior to opening the box, he will find a card.

In neat and beautiful handwriting, the card reads:

Dearest Kazuha,

The crow has flown away:
Swaying in the evening sun,
A leafless tree

It is with so much gratefulness that I send these sakura mochi to you. My own variation, which I call "Snow on the Hearth".

I hope you enjoy what I have prepared for you. As it is my day of birth today, I wish to celebrate by giving my friends something to remember me by. I hope you will like this treat.

Yours truly,
Kamisato Ayaka ]
