I need to expand my roleplay I just...don’t have the drive I use to before. Probably cause of adulting and constantly job searching. Its rough and my solace is games that I can just...forget. I’m sorry I make people wait for replies or often go radio silent. its just. Hard even with my medicine to help with my anxiety/depression.  There are days were I just kinda sit somewhere and just stare off into space. Not sure what to do for that day because I’m home alone while everyone else in the house works. Sure I have the cats. But no matter how many times my family and fiancé tell me I’m not. I still feel like a burden. And its not going to change anytime soon..not till I manage to nab some kind of job and start helping with bills more.

“Hanfeng has a spare rack of forged weapons as examples of his handicraft. Before making a purchase, most customers will ask to test and familiarise themselves with it.”

If she made a contract with the blacksmith in regards to returning it within a certain timeframe, there is no reason why she would be prevented from doing so like every other customer could. While she may be a foreigner to their nation, it is not in the spirit of Liyuens to go back on any contracts they agree upon.

“It’s fine. I offered.” The Yaksha turned his gaze towards her.

“How else are you going to get an idea of what best suits you unless you have someone to spar with? Let’s go.”

“Oh, that’s good to know. Though I have some ideas on what wouldn’t suit me. If I did have some weapon training before my body should remember what I’m familiar with in terms of weight.” It was a theory at least. Sometimes the body remembered more than even the heart or mind did. She had already taken claymores out of the equation. While there are some with her body type that can wield them no problem. Teanna felt that it was just not for her at a simple glance.  Ruby eyes widening at the offer to spar and help find her suited weapon type.  “No no, No one comes to mind. I just know how busy you are with your duty and all. I wouldn’t want to intrude.”  She said this knowing the stories and didn’t want to burden him with something so trivial. Though the young woman did not voice that allowed. Cause it was his choice on what was trivial to his time or not. Feet moving to follow after the Yaksha as they made to leave the inn.

The abrupt flash of insight his strange new companion just revealed takes the both of them by surprise. Zhongli does not recall having made any mention of Lady Xi’s family in the course of their conversation but what Teanna had disclosed is indeed accurate.

His gaze is curious, almost pensive, when he returns her gaze.

“You speak right. Lady Xi has a fondness for cooking and experimenting with the creativity of her dishes. Perhaps we can consider fetching her a simple recipe handbook of sorts as a gift of gratitude in the future?”

What an interesting ability.

“I suppose we can take the return of some of your former capabilities as a good sign.” Zhongli cannot begin to guarantee it is anything at all but he is not eager to shoot her determination down.

“Yes that is ideal. Do you read maps by any chance?”

Image

It was such an odd thing, it was like she could just read the emotions of the woman once Teanna took a bite of her food. It made her wonder if it was just tied to food, or could it be with anything. Like a painting. Something to test out later on.  “If we do that, we should get something with new recipes for her to try.” Teanna mused aloud. "Its unusual, I just...felt the emotions she put into her work....” She explained simply before sipping at her tea. Thinking over the notion before the next question came to be.  “Hm...I’m not sure, but the only way to find out is to look at one.” Maybe she would be able to see a location of familiarity to her. A place to start despite everything drawing a blank.

Sorry for the silence guys, currently trying to cap or get close to cap on some games. Cause I’ll be gone from the 6th till the 9th on a trip to go see my Fiance’s family for easter.  Hope to get back behind the wheel with Tea and hit what responses I need to do when I get back..Especially with Genshin update coming soon.

It was a nice day today with Ei fin ally relaxed and calm. The thunderstorms stopped completely and they usually happened every day. It’s not to say that the people of Inazuma were used to them, but it was nice to see clear skies since they were always black and bursting out with thunder and lightning. It also made it difficult for travelers from other nations to sail here, but now that the Land of Thunder is open to the world again, tourists and travelers alike are coming to see the city that the electro-archon ruled over. She was browsing over a few stalls in the marketplace today just to see what was new. Of course, before coming here she told one of her maidens to take over while she was out, so the shrine, is fine without her. She came across a stall that was selling dango. It made her interested in trying some because Ei had been trying to feed her some. There was a girl who was hesitating to buy one. Her face expressed it all, but she didn’t mind helping out the child for once.“You know you can always try them first.”

When she heard that Inazuma was allowing people back in, the woman jumped at the chance. She needed to start her search somewhere so why not the place that was supposedly home? But Teanna also couldn’t help but want to try the food like any other tourist.  Contemplating the Dongo was when someone finally said something. Making her heard jerk up in surprise, Dendro vision jingling from where it hung on a single braid. The frame being very familiar to the beautiful woman as the one of Inazuma itself.  “Ah no, that’s not it. I was trying to decide what I wanted. I’m new here and stuff.” Teanna said while blushing. Ruby eyes unable to look away from the beautiful miko. Yet the feeling that she was much older and wiser than her years did not escape Teanna either.

Teanna nodded, running through her mind on where the blacksmith would be. Ah yes, he was basically next door to the Adventure’s guild. That made sense, and thing quite simple for her. The woman was still getting her bearings with the harbor. But it was getting much easier with each day.  “I wonder if he has some weapons I could test the weight on before making a commission. I can already take claymores off the list of possibilities.” She mused to herself. Though her eyes widened with astonishment at Xiao’s words.

“Really? I mean you already helped me so much already. You don’t have to...if you don’t want too.” She finally said shyly. Even if she didn’t know how exactly he would help her.

Teanna nodded her agreement to the suggestion to take a look around. Sense it wouldn’t do well to tie herself to a job too soon. Especially because it was almost a given that once she had gotten to her feet. A journey for her memories would no doubt start. But that requires a lot of things, not just Mora.  Taking a sip of the tea in order to clear her pallet for the time being.  “It has heart, she cooks not just to feed others but also enjoyment. Especially when her children were young.” Teanna said rather intuitively.  But even she had to blink at the words that passed her lips. Shaking her head a bit before placing a hand against her temple. Unsure of where such an insight could have come from. But it was just a feeling she got from everything around her.  “More questions without answers..” The maiden murmured before looking Zhongli. 

“I’ll go by your guidance for now. If I have landmarks to start with it will help to find my way should I decide to stroll around on my own.” Was her affirmation. After all he couldn’t always be there to provide a guiding hand.

When Zhongli mentioned working for the inn keeper, Teanna went quite in thought. “I probably should, to repay their kindness and save some..Mora for the future.” She mused aloud, the word ‘Mora’ felt heavy on her tongue. But that wasn’t important.

 Setting the clothes beside the bed she had for now. Best to wear them tomorrow. There were many things that would need to be procured before finding a start to her lost memories.  Checking to make sure the sash of her robe was secure before taking a seat. Her vision having been sat on the table during her bath. “Thank you for everything you’ve done so far. Though I doubt it’ll be the last time I need assistance.” Teanna voiced once he was seated.  Not wanting to waste the food, she started first with the soup on offer. Best to start slow on eating, who knows how long it had been sense the woman last ate. The sudden shock would not do her body any good. The broth warming her from the inside. “I will have to compliment the inn keeper on the cooking too.”

Ahhh so their the one that’s making such a large impact, well everywhere. “You certainly have very reliable friends to be sure.” She finally speaks before going quite in thought. Fiddling with her vision before turning it over. Noticing what looked like a hair tie. So that’s how she use to carry it. 

The vision must have been knocked loose when she was lost at sea. Its a miracle that it did not stray from her during that event. So Teanna pulled the one that she was using before loose from her single braid. Instead replacing it with her vision’s tie. And it felt...right. Like putting a piece of her back where it belong.  “Perhaps, though I’d need to see if I even know how to defend myself. It stands to reason that I do. But I can’t recall what weapon was used. Hopefully muscle memory will lead me the right way.” Teanna soon mused.  Most vision users were quite adept with their weapon of choice after all.

Teanna nodded as the man spoke. “Its nice to know who my ‘savior’ is. But its quite alright, there were other things to worry about.” She teased softly slowly getting to her feet as he left. A nice bath to soothe her mind first, then food to calm the stomach. Only after would her focus be on the situation at hand. 

----------- It thankfully wasn’t long before that she had gotten out of the tub and dried. Running her fingers to tame the damp ebony locks into something suitable. Finding that she had an, odd, hairstyle that seemed longer on one side. Opting to braid that single length of hair so it didn’t look so unkempt. Robe wraped and tied firmly around her now clean body.  “Ah! I could have opened the door for you.” Teanna said when she saw Zhongli coming in with clothes and food. It smelled absolutely divine to her sense. But perhaps that was due to hunger. Helping to ease his load by taking the clothes so an arm was free to carry the food.  “No no, its quite fine. I do appreciate all the help from everyone. Though how I’ll be able to repay this kindness escapes me for now.” Blushing a bit from all this done for a stranger, it seemed odd to her.
