I bought one of every dish at a restaurant in Liyue to try a little bit of each. I didn't finish them. I didn't want to miss the taste of food when I returned to the mountains. I gave the rest to the people around me.
[ It comes easy. Christian or not, he doesn't really believe that much in all the restraint from worldly desires kind of deal. It's his problem as their rebellious problematic star. ]
... It was never a choice I made. [her fingers run absently over the red ropes that cross over her body. and then she glances at him again.] It's necessary.

[she will let him decide...]
no subject
[ Just to try. Though the fact that she denied enjoying them too much because she wouldn't be able to have them anymore is sad. ]
Did you like it?
no subject
I did. The herbs that I usually eat are bitter, so it was a nice change.
no subject
[ Hmm. ]
You should try one of everything on the food truck menus.
And take pictures.
And try riding on the gondolas.
Maybe go grab your own Blahaj.
no subject
I have a... Blahaj. [she says it bad] Its name is Fate.
[a pause.] Why?
no subject
[ Fate... ]
Something about hearin' you deny yourself even some damn good food just 'cause it won't last is making me sad.
[ It takes him back to ringing lectures, steel walls, never the light of day. ]
Eat, laugh, live a little while you still can. Nothing wrong with appreciating the outside world.
no subject
Will you appreciate it with me?

no subject
Then I will. There are foods I'd like to try. [...] I would like to take a picture, too.
no subject
Fine, sure. We can do all of those things and whatever else comes to mind.
No point in bein' around if you can't have at least a little fun with it.
It's one of the smallest ways you can take control.
no subject
... Hah. [she says, tilting her head back.] Control. I've been under control most of my life, I think.
[she's not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.]
no subject
But is that a choice you made, or even wanted? That's what's important.
[ Looking right at her. ]
no subject
... It was never a choice I made. [her fingers run absently over the red ropes that cross over her body. and then she glances at him again.] It's necessary.
no subject
Then fuck that. It should be only what you want to control.
[ Everything else is wrong. ]
no subject
I like the idea of that. [she says, after a moment.] Do you think that's possible?
no subject
You've got to at least try, don't you?
I'd rather go down kicking and screaming than let some other asshole dictate me forever.
[ He's a strong independent woman etc etc... ]
no subject
Heh. [this is about as close to a laugh as she gets.] Yes. That's an admirable attitude to have. Though I think I'll avoid the kicking and screaming.
no subject
[ He is stupid, folks. ]
no subject
no subject
[ VASH IS ONE THING. ]
no subject
Now I'm curious.
no subject
Let's not embarrass myself like that.

[ He is absolutely bullshitting now but hey, at least it's obvious. Cringefail but not insufferable. ]
