Summary
And he wonders, if he were to go to her now, wake her up from her slumber, and demand that she help him, would she refuse him?
Lumine doesn’t ever refuse.
No, he decides. She wouldn’t. If he asked, she’d perhaps be amused. And then she would smile and nod—as she always does.
But the thought only serves to make him more miserable; lumped together with all the other pathetic people trying to cling onto her, only for her to gently shake them off like flakes of dust that’s been collecting for too long on her skin.
or: how to keep love casual.
(spoiler: you can't.)

Summary
“What if I didn’t want to drink it with sugar?” Lumine says that, and yet still takes a sip from her cup.
Wanderer’s gaze remains on Lumine, and his face distorts as though he’d seen another bug—it reminds Paimon of his more insane days, and that’s why she keeps her mouth shut, despite how eerie he’s being. “But you like sugar,” Wanderer says, mouth twisted, a petulant edge to his voice. “You like sweet. Food, places, people—isn’t it better if they’re sweet?”
Paimon’s jaw drops open. Hot chocolate dribbles out from the corner of her mouth, sliding down her chin. The question feels like a trap. Is most definitely one, in fact, and even Paimon realizes that.
But Lumine, she doesn’t even blink. Instead, she puts down the coffee, smiling. Lumine is always so nonchalant in the face of Wanderer’s volatility. Paimon doesn’t know how she keeps herself so calm. “Sometimes,” Lumine says lightly, “I prefer bitter.”

Summary
Who am I to you? she had asked him once.
Wanderer took a moment, gaze narrowed in on the side of her face in contemplation.
A reminder of who I am, he finally said, plucking a stray leaf out of her hair with a casual flick of his wrist. To me, someone who understands.
He pressed the stem between his thumb and fingers, presenting it to her like an irreverent offering of incense. The gingko leaf drooped, fanning out to catch the bright sunlight, a feathered yellow.
or: how you kiss with your eyes wide open.

Summary
An idea sneaks into mind. He mulls over it, whether he has the audacity—and of course he does. So the wanderer smiles. “If you’re offering… Then yes. I do think I deserve recompense,” he says with a haughty tilt of his chin.
Lumine raises an eyebrow. “What kind?”
“Your heart.”
A wanderer, a traveller, and the mending of a mistake.

Summary
“Buer doesn’t understand what’s good for her yet. Nor does she understand you.”
“And you do?”
The wanderer shrugs. “I am not a god anymore, traveller.”
“Thank heaven and earth for that,” Lumine mutters. “I’d rather have a stray wanderer than a vengeful god.”
And he can’t help but smile, pleased at the admission of her ownership. “If I was the god you prayed to,” he says sweetly, “I’d answer. I’d always answer.”
A wanderer, a traveller, and the mornings between.
