and by that i mean mikazuki has wandered toward the pool, enraptured and confused. he will gingerly bend down like an old man and let his fingertips skim over the surface of the water]
[ oh hi jiji. kaeya will come and crouch beside him as well with a small smile. he adds to the ripples with a gently poke to the water with a finger. ]
I'd say this one's for swimming. There's a much warmer one for soaking over there... quite the amenities...
17. You open a door and find yourself at the middle of a maze. Something is in the maze with you, and its goal is to find you and kill you. If you make it through the maze, you find yourself back in the hall, disoriented and relieved. If that something catches you, you will be set upon by a shadowy, shapeless beast, and it will be painful. You will find yourself back in the hall, disoriented, unsettled by shadows shadows, and subject to nightmares of being stalked by shadow creatures that night. Only four minutes have passed.
[ hello, jiji, welcome to the hell maze. kaeya is confused as fuck, frowning at their surroundings as he places a hand against the wall, brow furrowing. at least he's wearing a more comfortable outfit than before.
he gives pause, a prickling at the nape of his neck, like some sort of knowing chill. ]
[mikazuki's outfit is at once both more and less comfortable - though he wears it with a type of easy grace, despite the layers. when kaeya pauses, a smile spreads across mikazuki's lips and already he begins to walk.]
Fufu, how familiar...
Let us not dally, Kaeya Alberich. You shall be sorely missed if we depart here.
[kaeya's going to be looking around for mikazuki in the courtyard. at his heels, polaris walks close, though once he sees him, trots over to sit quietly at his feet.
[ he will take a seat. polaris quietly wags his tail before pressing his head into his leg a moment and then flopping himself onto the grass to quietly play sentinel. ]
mikazuki is walking out of the courtyard, bundles of flowers cradled in his arms as he leisurely takes his time getting from one place to another. he nods at kaeya.]
[ here comes the boooy, but also he's got a little bit of worry etched into his brow just a bit. he saw the way that he just mcfucking left and considering what he saw last week himself, he's going to be concerned. quietly, he approaches, the wisteria crowding in with it's soft hues. he lifts a hand to part some of the fragrant blossoms acting as curtains.
polaris just follows behind, keeping distance for a bit. ]
[mikazuki munechika is seated somewhere against the trunk of the wisteria - though he has changed. his kimono is simpler now, but it is nonetheless luxurious. its long sleeves cover his hands, and the fabric drapes over his legs. at first glance, it's almost a little hard to tell he was on cyoa as he sits waiting like a painting
he inclines his head when kaeya approaches - though he does not say anything. one eyebrow arches, waiting to see what exactly is wanted from him]
Came to see how you were... you left rather quickly.
[ frowning a little, but looking at him right now, it is definitely very hard to tell that he went on one of those adventures. he moves to sit down by the tree as well, draping his arms over his knees. ]
[ dutifully he opens his arms for as many flowers as he must carry, offering mikazuki a quiet smile that fades quite easily. ]
At least we're unlikely to run out of flowers... [ he will help carry them to the cemetery, though as they walk. ] I just wish we didn't actually need them for this...
[thanks kaeya, jiji will once again give kaeya more flowers than he'll carry himself - but sheer volume means he's stuck with more than last time]
... you and I wish for the same. It would be nice, if we could simply admire them as they are, rather than pluck and deposit them at the graves of those departed.
Even for one such as myself, so used to death, there is something taxing about this place.
anyway this can be pretty much any day but mikazuki will be underneath the wisteria tree, admiring its blossoms. it's a good spot for a cuddle pile. when he sees kaeya approach, he nods in acknowledgement]
[ hello it's a beautiful day and kaeya looks very content at the moment as he strolls over. polaris meanders over to greet mikazuki before flopping in close while kaeya does the same, sitting down with legs crossed as he leans against the wisteria tree. ]
week 0, saturday
and by that i mean mikazuki has wandered toward the pool, enraptured and confused. he will gingerly bend down like an old man and let his fingertips skim over the surface of the water]
Hot springs... not hot?
[there is a hot tub 2 feet away, fool]

[he will let his hand drift through the water idly, watching the motions that disrupt the pool gently
before he cups his hand and gives kaeya a light splash]

he laughs a bit and splashes back in turn (lightly). ]

Let us not dally, Kaeya Alberich. You shall be sorely missed if we depart here.
no subject
This is familiar to you? How so?
[ as he speaks, he certainly will keep his guard up, sweeping his gaze along the way as they move. polaris' lips curl back into a low growl. ]
We had a maze like this... but it was made of ice and snow instead.

Kaeya Alberich. Might you be occupied?
[or can jiji ask a favor]
no subject
but mikazuki calls his name and he tucks his flask away to approach. ]
No, in fact, I would love to be occupied right now.
no subject
Then if you might assist me...

Mikazuki... hey.
[ he looks to him and offers a faint smile. ]
That's very thoughtful of you all the same. You don't need to have bothered... should have been to see you sooner. My apologies.
no subject
You are apologizing to me? Oh my, oh my. How unexpected. It does not sit well.
[but he will approach]
I was going to offer you tea or sake, depending on what you felt would be appropriate after today.
