[ Saya's fingers are tap-tap-tapping the counter as she waits for her husband to finish decorating the cake she sweet talked him (ha!) into baking for her. Probably her fault for joking that they never got a wedding cake, but if he's not taking this Too Seriously then he's definitely teasing. She's being as patient as she can be, okay! There's chocolate in there and the whole house smells like it! ]
[ (Also there is. A thing she needs to say. But it can wait until after cake eating and cuteness. It's really not that big a deal.) ]
[Kantera does not, in fact, know how to bake a wedding cake specifically. There's all those tiers and it would take a long time and Saya would eat it before it was finished. But he can in fact bake a regular chocolate cake, and in fondant lettering it says: HAPPY CAKEVERSARY.]
I have something to tell you. Not a heavy thing really, at least not for me, just... well.
[ She keeps nibbling on the cake as she talks, though never speaking with food in her mouth or anything so crass. ]
You know I've been spending more time with Red Son. We visited the haunted house together, ended up he really saved me from some serious emotional torture the ghosts were trying to pull. And I'm not sure if he told you much, but his parents... from what I've gathered, they're being tortured by memories, something like that. He seems to think it's going to be very hard to get to them and get them out.
I saw how much it effects him, so I can't just do nothing. Not when I'm strong enough to help. So I need to go with him to set that right.
He can use dimensional portals, so he'll be able to bring me to you in Teyvat after we free his family. [ It'll be fine. This is all fine. ]
I know this isn't what we planned, but -- I have to do this. I can't just walk away.
[ It may be telling that she would offer this to Red Son since it is a big thing, but then she is fairly giving with her time and energies when those she likes are in need. ]
[ She doesn't want to say he'd be a burden, but... yeah, a little. Unfortunately. Sometimes the badass people go on missions and the loved ones have to stay home and wait for word. It's not fair, but that's how it is. ]
I promise. There's nothing on any world that can keep me apart from you.
[ We're not talking about how those holding Red Son's parents can kill immortals. It won't do Kantera any good to hear, because her mind is made up and there's no talking her out of it despite the risks. Besides, they have to catch her first. ]
[ She bends down to kiss his hand, bless her table manners for not getting chocolate on him, it would ruin the vibe. ] And he'll be there to protect me. We'll protect each other.
[He cups her cheek gently.] I trust you. -Then, I'll wait for you patiently.
[He'll worry every single day before she returns to him - she can't ask him not to worry. He couldn't stop himself even if he tried. But he won't argue against her going.]
[ Asking him not to worry would be unfair, so she won't. Knowing he'll be safe is her priority. ]
[ She nuzzles at his hand ] Thank you for understanding. I know it's a big change, and so suddenly. But he's doing so much for me. For us, really. [ Or at least trying to, with her hibernation. ]
+ Kantera, sweet talks

I knew I liked you... which is to say it's delicious. Thank you.
[ Now hand over the plate so she can start wolfing it down while also having ridiculous manners somehow. ]

Date: Apr. 12th, 2023 09:15 pm (UTC)[Without hesitation, without even having to think about it.]
Red Son is important to me as well, I would never ask you not to help him - but let me help you both.
(no subject)
Date: Apr. 12th, 2023 09:17 pm (UTC)-- No. Please, no. If it's as dangerous as he says, I don't want you anywhere near it. Even with your healing abilities.
Go with Venti, where it's safe. I need you safe.
(no subject)
Date: Apr. 12th, 2023 09:20 pm (UTC)But - to stay behind where 'tis safe while you and he face grave danger is...
[He knows she's probably right and it's out of his ability to handle. He knows that, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept.]
(no subject)
Date: Apr. 12th, 2023 09:22 pm (UTC)...Is the way it has to be. Having you there, I won't be able to focus on helping him. I'll be too worried about something happening to you.

Date: Apr. 12th, 2023 09:24 pm (UTC)[He would be a burden to her there. Kantera squeezes her hands.]
