[ There's a reason she asked. Knowing Yuri as she does, the way he'll hold himself perfectly, painfully tall unless someone gives him a reason not to, she knows he needs to let it in. Even if neither of them want to. ]
[ She pushes herself up and into his arms, resting full against him. ]
Thank you. [ For being here. For not staying back even though it might be more comfortable. ]
[ She starts crying not long after first feeling his fingers through her hair, not in a desperate, can't-hold-it-in way and more in a this-needs-to-happen way. ]
I know the answer to this question, what it has to be, but I still have to ask:
What are we going to do?
[ The move on, obviously. There's no alternative. She's more asking how. ]
[ God it hurts to think about Yuri's mortality right now. But they won't be going to the same place anymore after they leave here, in all probability, either. ]
We will.
...Red Son can travel through dimensions when this place isn't blocking him. [ That's where she's going, now. One might notice that she's wearing a red and gold bracelet with a symbol on it, it's his family crest. ] If you wanted to, we could visit. He just needs to do a ritual so he can lock onto you.
I'll like it if you're there. [ That's all she really cares about. Much as it sucks that they'll be scattered to the winds, at least there's a way to still see each other sometimes. ]
[ Assuming nothing else happens with dimensional games, that is. ]
[ ...Asterisk. Depends on what Yuri and Red Son talk decide. Even if they opt to tell Saya about Haji maybe being alive, more likely she'd just have Red Son take her back to retrieve him verses actually return there. ]
That part of this stings too. Not as much as not having him here every day, but I was looking forward to seeing Teyvat in person.
[ True there are still people here from Teyvat who they could visit, Childe in particular Saya could probably convince to let her stop by, but right now she can't even consider that. ]
Much as I'm usually inclined to argue with that sentiment, it feels good to hear right now.
I'd feel so much more lost without you. [ Sorry if that activates your tsun some more but ] Did I ever tell you that you're the one who built the entire foundation of me being able to accept myself at all? When you watched that first awful memory with me and didn't turn away.
I know it's very much a work in progress, but without that nothing else would even be possible.

We survive.

You being here will help with that. More than I can express.

We'll remember him. [ His lips quirk. ] You for longer than me.
...and if he comes back. We'll be here.
no subject
We will.

I would really like that, if you don't mind.
no subject
Of course I don't mind. Heh — hope you like my world.

—Yeah.
[ A little bit more. Distant for his part. ]
Something to talk to Flynn about.
[ Because he'd already talked to him about Teyvat. Because impossibly, Flynn had agreed to come with him to Teyvat. ]
no subject
...I'm sure that whatever you want, he'll be all too eager for the same. [ Love does that. ]
no subject
Yeah, well.
no subject
You'll tame that reaction sooner or later.
no subject
[ but he doubts it ]
no subject
[ So there's that. Look on the bright side et cetera. ]
no subject
My life's ambition.

At least I'm sparing you most of my own mushy feelings, it could always be worse.

With friends like you, I swear.

[ Saya is a Certified Handful on the best of days, and not all her days are even good. ]
no subject
Definitely in a bad way.
