    Summary

    "You called for me, My Lord."

    A single sentence, the same one he used every time he greeted Zenos. And just like every time, despite the overwhelming enthusiasm he ushered into each word, Zenos' reply was as dull, dreary, and bored as ever.

    "I did," the Crown Prince drawled, giving a long and slow sigh as his voice dipped in disappointment. "As ever, you dragged your feet getting here.."

    Slowly, and with another drawn out, laboured sigh, Zenos lifted his head from his fist, moving to pull himself upright in the throne.

    "Well, now that you're here..." he continued, drawing out his words in a way which had Asahi wondering once more if he savoured the sound of his own voice. "Do get on with it..."

    Asahi and Zenos have an agreement. A strange one. Asahi gets the sexual attention and the ability to serve his Lord that he so terribly wants, but only because Zenos likes to imagine a certain Warrior of Light in his place when he uses him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Asahi's dialogue makes him feel so tangible, very good characterization

    Summary

    When the heart bleeds, Thancred has his own ways of stopping the flow. But the hole keeps on getting bigger.

    And contrary to popular belief, contrary to what he has shown them in public to gain their trust, Emet-Selch is not well versed in mending wounds. Not when he finds such satisfaction in tearing hearts apart.

    Summary

    The training regime of a Sharlayan spy is a well kept secret, even among the rest of the populace. Thancred had always known this was the case for a reason.

    They simply do not comprehend what is at stake. They do not understand the cruel necessities. Urianger is no exception. In the wake of their debauchery, as he lays in Urianger's arms, Thancred tries to explain.

    Really, there is no reason to be so distraught at the idea of interrogation resistance training. He had been fifteen summers old– practically a man grown.

    Really, not a problem at all.

    Summary

    This strange human isn't the first spirit he's met from another world at the base of Irminsul--the only place in Teyvat that isn't just Teyvat--but this is the first time he's met one he can empathize with, on a terrifyingly familiar level.
