[nahida finds shen qingqiu crying in a corner of the ikea!! okay, no, she just finds him in ikea. she is munching on some of the food from the ikea food court as she wanders around, and pauses when she spots him.]
Nahida-xiaojie. [ he is also desperately trying to destress because wow!!!! wow!!!!!! things sure happened!!!!!!!!! he still stops to bow politely though for there is nothing but respect for our hardest working member ]
[ help me sqq is just vibrating into the stratosphere. right now he's sitting in the diner with a ice cream sundae and the intense emotion of SURELY THIS TREAT WILL CURE ALL MY WOES ]
[well... he'll probably feel a spike of concern when she walks into the diner for a snack and gets that intense emotion. she wanders over and sits across from him.
[ not slapping my hand down for pcs and immediately forgetting while i was out. HAVE FUN AT CONCERT ]
Nahida-xiaojie.
[ sqq, otoh gestures at what's been created around them, a general aura of pride visible even without emotion share. behind him stands a mountains peak that would fit right into liyue, it's bamboo forest peacefully rustling in a digital breeze. to no ones surprise he's taken the advantage of vr to create his home in full detail, a spot of soothing green admist all the grimdark black that greeted them this week ]
[ sqq's having A Week, goddamn. he's barely recovered his dignity from one incident and here he is, splayed out again this time with less knives but more holes. truly, there's just no winning.
he's still spacing out like the others but at nahida's voice he snaps to attention, visually checking her over to make sure Nahida is Nahida and not... well. she's not something else ]
I had hoped to lessen the suspicion on your team by convincing Gyuhyuk to cooperate so the others could see there wasn't anything you all were hiding, but... it backfired.
Nahida-xiaomei, while your intentions were a noble one the execution was far harsher than one intended. This one thanks you for the attempt but perhaps let another try next time.
[ you say this but this has legitimately been his entire day, just attacked at all angles when he least expects it. rude!! he hates this!!
he
also has to stare into the sun about a few things because he knew but also Did Not Know some things about their littlest player but wowee!! this certainly is a lot ]
anyway, nahida doesn't seem all that happy about four dingdang bodies, because they can all remember how that went last time, but. it's what they - or rather, what the living - are going to have to deal with.
she's kind of drawn back from the rest of the group because frankly her own vibes are rancid now that she's sobered up (maybe a little hungover) and the General Party Vibes aren't here anymore, but as shen qingiu passes by he'll probably catch a stray thought -
[ he is surprisingly mostly just tired after last night, eepily rumpled in his pjs and alligator shoes while swanning around with the largest coffee known to man. the thoughts coming from him are a quiet mix of both notto dis shitto again and oh thank the gods seeing both his teammates still around, so like. you know! he's just a great time.
but there is that underlying continuing scream through his teeth in his thoughts because now!! what!!!! the two he was relying on to keep a cool head and get shit done are now either on the floor or like, in limbo until further notice. fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
nahida's thought catches his attention though and he glances her way, waiting for her to notice him before tilting his head towards the door.
let's get out of here for a while
dear gods please the rank thoughts are going to make him chew through concrete. ]
[one more cake for the road!! she looks intrigued by cheesecake.]
...it's been a long and arduous journey, but we're near the end of it. [she sighs] It will be a little strange to not be able to see everyone whenever I want to though...
