He can be good for some things. [ he's an absolute menace is what he is, but sadly he does deserve some credit, otherwise nahri would have never said anything, and she would have left to go be miserable by herself, expecting it to be the best choice she could have made - even after everything.
she can't help but grin at that blush. ]
Only those? No more?
[ since the worst part of this conversation is over, she feels emboldened. she can tease a little. ]
You mean after leaving? [ she's so ready to peace out, now that she can look forward to something that isn't suffering. ] Or before that? I figure we'll say goodbye to everyone. We don't actually have to run away.
Yes. I do intend to say goodbye to people. I'd like to offer Teyvat to Alex and Jonas. Vash, Wolfwood and Livio, too, but I doubt they'll accept. [which she's annoyed about but. it's fine.]
I think the gesture is more important than the result. [ because, yeah, even if they decline, it's just another way for shenhe to show how much she cares about the people here, and nahri thinks that is very dear and wholesome. although she also understands wanting a better life for those people, too. ]
As for Teyvat... eat, probably. The food here isn't very good.
Oh - yes. I want to take you to Xiangling's restaurant. You'll like the food there. Kaveh promised that he would find me food in Sumeru as well. [a beat.] We will have to find someone who can make milkshakes.
I get the feeling there won't be milkshakes in Sumeru either. [ not like she knows anything of sumeru but. it really is just a feeling. ]
Though I guess we'll have the time to find these things.
[ and that's something she'll have to grapple with when it happens: that they have time. it isn't a weekly schedule, or a loop, or a curated routine she has to go through the motions of. the days won't drag and blend together like when she was simply trying to survive. it's something to look forward to, but limitless.
Yes. [she agrees, with a smile.] ... We'll have plenty of time.
I haven't seen so much of Teyvat. I'd like to see it with you. [besides she has to run away from cloud retainer anyway because like fuck is she putting her red ropes back on.]
Traveling isn't so bad when you can take it leisurely. I even know how to camp and build fires. [ not like they are especially challenging tasks but, she had to do these things the normie way and this is the best flex she's got.
although that does rattle another thought around in her brain: ]
I wonder if I'll get my magic back, or if I'm stuck like this forever.
[she's going to comment on the fires, but the question distracts her. she thinks about it, and then:]
We have our Visions. The Traveler can use the elements while she's in our world, too, and she came from somewhere else entirely. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use yours, or even attune to ours, if you wanted.

Well. [she says, the blush getting a little worse.] I'm not very good at it yet. So practice might be in order.
[ok]

I liked what I got before. You might be a natural.
no subject
I'd never kissed anybody before you, so that's reassuring.
no subject
But I still liked it. It was nice.
[ beaming!! ]
no subject
[it was like, more than just nice, but she's already embarrassed so]
... What do you want to do first? If it all works out. [she almost doesn't ask, because she's afraid to jinx it, but.]
