When she gets home from questing

[sangreine]

[ Things aren't great. They're both hurting. One may or may not be a rabbit part of the time and the other has been out on quests (possibly viewed as normal given her whole thing) and spending a lot of time with Yuri and Venti (not really that normal since they've been here). ]

[ They're both trying their best. Saya is doing just that when she comes to bed, purposefully without anything to occupy her hands. She's probably not staying long since she can't sleep still, but she needs to talk to him and she wants to hold him a while, if that's something he wants. She's not entirely sure it is. ]

How was the clinic today? More people going out, I was worried it might be busy.

[ Yeah, she'll get to Rosen eventually. Ease her way in. ]

[happydreamed]

Busier than normal, certainly. But nothing beyond my ability to treat thus far, so I can hardly complain.

[It's not as bad as the injuries seen in Tokyo-F.

After a moment's hesitation, he leans a little into her side.]

This is very sweet. Thank you, Lumine.

UN: red.son

[forgingfires]

I'm going to teach you spells to recall memories from past lives.
As a back up plan if a solution isn't found in time.

[Some people say hi Red Son.]

un: kantera

[happydreamed]

Good afternoon, Red Son. I'm eager to learn.

Maid Cafe

[sangroi]

[ Toward the end of the event, Saya comes up to her husband and hugs him from behind, while in her male form (wearing a butler's getup, not a maid dress). She's a bit taller than Kantera like this, broad in the chest and shoulders, perfect for resting her chin on his shoulder, minding the horn. Pardon the female pronouns, I don't think she'd change them inside her head. ]

Hello, handsome. Got a second for me?

[happydreamed]

More than a second, for you.

[He turns around to embrace her properly. It's not hard to be taller than him - he is a very short man - but he does appreciate it when she gets to sweep him off his feet.]

A few days after Maid Cafe

[forgingfires]

I'm free for the evening.

[happydreamed]

Excellent. Would you like me to come to you, or would you rather come here?

[If he visits the Imeejihouse, there's a chance of running into Saya. He doesn't keep secrets from her.]

[kishin]

[ Sometime in late April, after the arts festival and some attendant nonsense, Kantera will get a text. ]

Do you have a few minutes?

[happydreamed]

Certainly. How may I be of assistance?

late may | un: shinkirou | text (I FORMAT HOW I WANT, LI)

[kingside]

[When is this happening? A mystery. Correction: late May, apparently, and most definitely within twenty-four hours of this. Anyway—]

Kantera. I understand you and Suzaku have been in communication with one another.

[Right, starting there is perfectly normal and doesn't seem at all paranoid, good job, Lelouch, well done.]

[happydreamed]

We have. Is that an issue?

[Because if it is, it actually isn't Lelouch's decision to make who Suzaku texts.]

text; un:kishin (late May)

[kishin]

[ AND GOSH, such a surprise to also be getting this, ]

Kantera!

[happydreamed]

Suzaku! A pleasure to hear from you as always.

un: shinkirou | text | after cure attempt #1

[kingside]

[... There really is no graceful way to go about this, is there.]

How are you holding up?

un: kantera

[happydreamed]

[There isn't, but he appreciates the check-in all the same.]

Not well. As is to be expected, I'd imagine.

un:happyaround

[roundandaround]

[While misfire texts are still going on...]

Hey! Leon-kun had a little mist machine in his tank back home, but Mecchan doesn't need a tank. Do you think he'd still like something like that in the apartment? Oh, maybe a whole fog machine!

un: kantera

[happydreamed]

Which one is Mecchan, again?

[forgingfires]

Hello Kantera.

Of the Spring abilities, have you learned to remove curses?

[happydreamed]

I haven't, as it happens. Of the advanced abilities, I focused on flight first and then improved healing.

Who is cursed?

[sangreine]

[ They've been spending a lot of time cuddling in bed, lately. More and more each day. A bit of pleasantness in an unpleasant situation. Although tonight, Saya seems oddly full of energy... in a sleepy way, granted. ]

I want to show you something, love. And then I have a question for you.

[ She presents her left wrist, on which she is wearing a bracelet made of carved garnet and gold beads. The center is a garnet with a symbol done in gold that Kantera might recognize from some of Red Son's magic. ]

Red Son gave this to me today. This symbol in the middle is his family crest, and a piece of some jewelry his father gave his mother. It's a courting gift. [ She's kind of over the moon about it. ]

Which leads to my question... I know I initially said that Red Son's world would be too dangerous for you, given the situation. It seems that the situation there has changed, and although I don't know how often I'll be awake, I can't bear to be without you. Even once Red Son manages to cure me of my hibernation, I'll want to be there with him a fair amount. And I won't want to leave you on some other world.

How are you with splitting our time between his world and Teyvat?

[happydreamed]

'Tis beautiful.

[The bracelet, but more than that, the feelings behind it are what pleases Kantera the most.

He thinks about the question, but only briefly. That's all he needs.]

Wherever you are is my home, my dear. I would follow you to any world - not least the world of someone I'm fond of as well.

[If it were Rosen's world, or someone Kantera didn't know, he would still probably agree. But Red Son is a dear friend, which makes the choice even easier.]

gift

[roundandaround]

[Kantera gets a coffee mug with a horned mountain sheep on it for some reason, the kind of thing that clearly came from some department store catalogue's "Gifts for Him" section. And a seashell.]

text

[happydreamed]

[...well, it does have horns, that's close enough probably.]

Thank you for the gift, Rinku.

Delivery!

[bluediligence]

[ Kantera receives a few presents wrapped in cute, kitty-themed festive wrapping paper. Cats in hats! Cats vs Christmas trees! Cats playing with ribbons and rolls of tape!

"Happy holidays, Kantera-san!"

🪶 A handsewn purple hoodie, with a pouch that seems to have been specifically designed for kitties to climb into for snuggles; some cute embroidery work; and an extra cute watercolor cats-patterned lining. It's tailored to his measurements and is SUPER COSY.

🪶 A mug that matches the lining of the hoodie, clearly hand-drawn and painted before being professionally printed.

🪶 A selection box of nice teas. ]

Gift

[erschlagen]

[Kantera isn't the only one who's in a gift-giving mood. That's why he'll find a lovely silver tea set wrapped up in a box with silver wrapping paper. It comes with a card saying,
"Happy Holidays,

The next time we have tea, let's use these.
-
Rosenkrantz]

[happydreamed]

They're beautiful, thank you! I look forward to testing them out with you.

Christmas Delivery

[forgingfires]

[Kantera will have two packages. One is an updated design on a tea kettle (because he absolutely gave him one like months ago because he's Like That), but now there's more buttons for more precise temperature control and timing and easier to clean material.]

[There is also a hella complicated cat tree, full of hidey holes to chill in and stuff to scratch and play with, but there's more! It can also be collapsed to a compact box. Heavy, because its a lot of material, but far more easy to transport otherwise.

Text

[happydreamed]

Thank you very much for both gifts. Did you conspire with Saya about the kitten?

Early January, a day before Saya talk

[forgingfires]

I need to talk to you about something private. Come over please.

to action

[happydreamed]

I can be there in twenty minutes.

[And on the dot, he arrives to knock politely on Red Son's door.]

June 10th - Kitchen

[noodleboi]

Porty had been living in Saya's house with her and Kantera for about a week now. He had gone out and about, planning his big victory porty. It was going to be off da hook. He even was gonna hire security so no party crashers could get in and ruin things. He wasn't gonna let someone get in and pop him in case they were jerks. A recipe for a fun time, right?

Right now though, he had another idea for a fun time. He made his way to the kitchen and walked up behind Kantera. The guy was a great cook. The food here had been awesomesauce. He moved up behind the doctor and being careful of his wings, rested his chin on the man's shoulder.

"Sup, handsome~? Whatcha makin'?"

[happydreamed]

Kantera hears Porty come up behind him, but he still jolts a little when Porty puts his chin on his shoulder and calls him handsome. He doesn't know Porty well enough to expect things like that yet.

"Ah - hello, Porty. I was just baking some chocolate chip cookies, in fact."

[wroughtandtempered]

okay so
Donnie's birthday got me thinking
mine's sometime next month I don't know when I'm celebrating it yet
but I figured I should fucking coordinate or whatever so it doesn't turn into a huge thing

you can bake two things
two
I'm telling Choco-chan the same thing
otherwise it'll go bad before we can eat all of it

[happydreamed]

Not a huge thing, understood. I will make you a cake and a pie and nothing else.

[roundandaround]

[Arriving at Kantera's door, addressed to him, is a "Get Well Soon" card covered in glitter with a cat design.]

I heard you got hurt so please get well soon! Let us know if you need anything!!

[Rinku has signed it, and there are Mecchan footprints, unknown lizard footprints, and holes in the paper bitten by Hina.

Attached is a box with a seashell and an assortment of dried squid, soy sauce candies, lemon drops, and other Things Old People Like To Eat.]

text, un: kantera

[happydreamed]

Thank you, Rinku. I'm all healed up now, don't worry.

Are you alright? I'm dreadfully sorry about what happened at the party, I tried to put a stop to it.

[wroughtandtempered]

hey Kantera
got a present for you if you want it

[ and then she's attached a picture of two large mirrors, each one almost the size of a door. ]

[happydreamed]

Oh! Are those the mirrors you can pass through?

rhythm gacha apology tour

[roundandaround]

[There's one person Rinku really needs to talk to after Saturday. She worries and waffles over it for a couple hours, but eventually sends the message.]

Sorry
I was trying to investigate the curses after MK-san got me to help him, but then I got the idea to try and figure out how to break them on my own to see if I could help Neechan and the others at the Research Centre
It didn't work and I'm sorry
I know you hate performing and being on stage and I didn't wanna hurt you
🔗

[happydreamed]

I know it wasn't intended to hurt me, Rinku, please don't worry about that. I'm only glad that no one was seriously harmed by that curse - those items are dangerous.

AFTER PIGEON FREED

[forgingfires]

July 20th is going to be Saya's birthday.

[happydreamed]

Excellent. Have you already discussed with her what you'd like to do for it?

un: hi im pepp

[magiclives]

er!! whats yourn ame???

[happydreamed]

[Oh, is this a kid? This sounds like a kid.]

My name is Kantera. Did you just arrive in Ellipsa?

speaking of medical emergencies,

[roundandaround]

[Rinku doesn't go to the clinic often, and if she does it's just to pop her head in on the way to work and wave at the staff. Which probably makes it extremely concerning that she showed up with what are clearly electrical burns up her arm, which hangs limply at her side, and various other battle injuries, and came to be seen by whoever was open.

When Kantera sees Rinku, she laughs a little and rubs the back of her head with her good arm.]

We sorta didn't have any healers with us...

[happydreamed]

-Rinku!

[Of course he's alarmed to see her, but first things first: he sings his song of healing and puts some of his spring healing in it as well, causing the worst of the burns to fade away and some of the pain to cease.]
