    Summary

    Mona’s brilliant master, Barbeloth, may have been a good mentor, but she was hardly a good mother. The young astrologist’s self-confidence takes a turn for the worse as all her insecurities developed from years of discipline resurface after the arrival of one letter, and she wants nothing more than to distract herself.

    So when Wanderer visits, Mona asks that he keep his sharp tongue to himself and shower her with praise, even if he doesn’t necessarily mean those words.

    (Oh, but he does. Of course, of course he does.)

    Summary

    “What I meant to say is that I need your abilities, oh great astrologist,” Scaramouche is all smiles, a stark contrast to her scowling expression, “as you so graciously divined the last time we met, I intend to become a god.” His eyes land triumphantly on the purple gnosis briefly before returning his attention to her, his expression contorting to one of pride; a smug smirk and eyes that looked down on her as if her existence is akin to an insect that he could crush under his feet.

    That had always been Scaramouche, though, even as a harbinger; unfeeling, uncaring, untouchable—always out of reach, the world beneath his feet. A god in every sense except in name; graceful and destructive at the same time. Voice booming with authority, features so devastatingly beautiful that Mona always makes it a point not to look him directly in the face, if only to mentally remind herself of his cruelty. He has the softest features Mona had ever seen carved into the face of a man, with bright red eyeliner that made him look almost feminine.

    He looks ethereal, unreal, the kind of beauty that started wars. And he knows exactly how to weaponize it.

    Summary

    For Xiangling,

    Hu Tao acted like a butterfly, unperturbed by restrictions and guided by freedom - but there, always present to be the steward of the wraiths.

    Hu Tao smelled like peaches, other times she smelled like Silk Flowers - sweet but charming; vibrant but full of elegant nobility.

    Hu Tao sounded like a placid poet serenading her with flowery words. Sometimes she sounded grating, sometimes she sounded like the wind chimes she often brought with her.

    Hu Tao felt cold to her skin, in contrast to the vision she wields. She was algid, but hot-blooded; bitter, but affectionate. A paradox.

    Hu Tao tasted like freshly made sweet dumpings - an odd mixture of sweet beans and shrimps. The same flavor of dumplings Xiangling made right before they had their first kiss.

    Or for Xiangling, falling in love begins with the five senses.
