[very valid of yae miko... she can have rights just this once. also oops, i misremembered your descriptions of them. it's fine.
is there anything important mizu can overhear from their conversation? or is it just (mumbles generic info about troops for flavor text)? if it's the later, mizu's just gonna sip more water and settle down in the corner to listen to xingqiu's infodump.]
taair listens along to all of this, following his eyes to yae miko and then back again, finally actually picking at his food and nodding along. a bonfire... oh, that makes his heart practically sing.]
What a lovely idea. [ is there anything better? that's a dream of taair's - to spend time around a campfire with dear friends, laughing and sharing meals and stories, and his eyes light up with it. ]
These brief lulls of peace are quite important - it's good to use them wisely, both for the strategy and for the soul. Though - if you ever do need help on the battlefield, please do not hesitate to ask.
[This sounds pretty ideal for a pack of newbies. Richie listens quietly (for once), mouth quirking at the intense sincerity wafting off Taair. That's so sweet.]
That sounds fun. Who's all going to be there? Anyone we should keep an eye out for?
[ it's just flavor text for the two at the other table, but mizu can probably hear the woman saying that she's going to drag the man - moze, apparently - to the bonfire and he's going to like it. he gives her a scowl.
xingqiu looks pleased that everybody seems excited!! ]
Of course, of course. It's... it's been a very long time since I've been to a party. [ ... ] Um, anyway - everybody should be there! You might want to meet the other healers? Lingsha said she was coming, as well as Bailu and Natasha... um, but the soldiers are great too! You'll probably like Marcoh, Sushang, and Ringo, I know I do. Childe's a weirdo. Don't talk to him unless you have to.
Jing Yuan will be happy to meet you, too. You guys are sort of the talk of the camp, a bit, since you're new.
well, since is sounds like the gang is up to date with the bonfire so they'll see each other there anyway... is mizu allowed to leave?
like. unless flurry is about to hit us with something else, mizu is just gonna try and sneak out of the cafeteria while everyone else is caught up their conversation, and take a stroll down the street. maybe eyeball the clinic and that shop to trade supplies, if there's time for it.]
[ taair likely does notice when mizu attempts to slip out - sometimes being observant is what you've got - and he does gently tap the other two, but doesn't draw a ton of attention to it. maybe they can be nice to mizu.
for the meantime though, he's happy to talk to xingqiu about these people they have absolutely never heard of, even if his head tilts a bit at that pause. ]
Well... it's been a long time for me, too. [ as in: never. but he says this warmly, comforting. ] So... perhaps if things get overwhelming, I'll come to sit and read with you, my friend.
[Richie absolutely notices. Taair taps him and he gives it a second's consideration, watching the retreating back of their no-weather friend. Then he makes a small gesture, nixing the idea of pursuit. If Mizu is that damn determined to scamper off then fine. They'll either catch him later or they'll catch him in well-deserved shit. Rest in pieces my guy.]
Which one's Childe again? [But the rest sounds amenable. He smiles to the guy, nodding in thanks.] Let's hope we don't disappoint the big man then. We're fresh off the boat, as it were, I only hope we can live up to expectations.
[ sure, yeah, mizu can leave! the clinic is closed for now, but if mizu wants to trade for supplies -- you are really going to make me use pronouns here and i'm going to die - they can be found. what's mizu looking for? there's trinkets and things, good luck charms, but also practical stuff like ropes and candles and your typical standard gear. there's also a synthesis wheel close by, which is just basically something you can shove ingredients into and it'll 3D print you food. it's rad.
but yes, it is bonfire time after this. ]
Childe is the orange haired guy from earlier... I guess he's fine, he's just... well, you'll see. Anyway, it's those two, and General Feixiao! She's actually -- oh, she's leaving.
[ off the white haired foxian woman goes, out the door. ]
You'll meet her later.
[ and then, to taair, with a bit of a relieved look: ] I'd really like that.
[HELP you can use he/him icly i promise tumblr will not come after us tonight.
are the good luck charms just for peace of mind, or are there rpg stats involved... will probably grab one either one, though. i guess mizu would also take a look at the standard gear just in case there's anything that looks like a helpful upgrade.
anyway, bonfire? i'm sure nothing will go wrong and we will all just have a pleasant night with the gang and childe.]
[ the trinkets are just peace of mind and the gear is like, probably not better than what you have. yae miko catches richie staring at her tits and winks at him, but in a way that means if you do that again she'll kill you!

A reconnaissance mission explains why we're not expecting too much in the way of injury. Low risk, high reward if we secure information.
Sure, sounds like a reason to celebrate.

Sounds like it'll be quite a party, then. If they need any help with the setup, I'm happy to volunteer too.
