[ kaeya's not left waiting long! after he rings the bell, a whorl of shadows coalesce from right beside him, and out steps aquila, head tilted down like they're peering into the cup, gloved hands behind their back. ]
You sure know how to make an entrance, Aquila. And it's a drink, of course—
[ the drink is a soft peachy color with a very delicate fruity scent to it. this could be a base for a we're-in-a-posh-hotel-man's sangria or a pleasant fruit spritzer depending on: ]
Whether it's got alcohol in it or not depends on how off the clock you are at the moment.
I didn't want to keep you waiting, and I knew today would be one of those odd task days for all of us so...
[ and then it was a party night, so all the better for him to have gotten it all done. he reaches into his pocket and pulls his room key out, the keychain from the gift bag is attached to it. he hands it over to them. ]
[ kaeya's not left waiting long! a shadow portal appears, and out steps aquila. they're still wearing their sun pin, still have the wings and the the claws, and they take one look at kaeya...
[ re: Good morning! Room service, please... And perhaps some breakfast together, if you're feeling a little peckish. - Kae ]
always feeling peckish hahaha meet you at the restaurant
[ and sure enough, when kaeya arrives, they're there! no more animal features this week - they're sitting straight and tall in a chair, sipping at a cup of what appears to be coffee. also they're absolutely opening the stars, yes ]
[ no more animal features i miss last week already, oh well. kaeya will swing around the seat and plop himself down right beside them. coffee would be good, so he will order himself some as well. ]
Morning. I always like starting the week out right. How are you?
Edited (idk... why i wrote thank you???) 2022-06-27 16:29 (UTC)
Good evening, Mister Alberich. It isn't necessary to meet, as I can simply assign you a task via text. But if you find it amicable, the library will suffice.
[ a shadow appears behind kaeya pretty much immediately - it's not a possessing one, at least. instead, it's just aquila. their gloved hand comes up to the back of kaeya's neck, the grip sure, and then just shadow transports them out of the lobby and straight off to the bar.
[ sorry but the shadow appears and kaeya jumps out of his skin actually. his eye widens as the hand around his nape grips and suddenly it's the bar again.
great.
he doesn't try to move away. ]
No. [ a beat ] Yes. [ a longer beat ] I don't know.
[ is your presence a gift, kaeya... well, whatever. shadows coalesce at the desk, and out steps aquila. they've got the flower crown on top of their hat. sets this for after role post since you get that soon ig ]
[ sounds good to me :myah: but kaeya will be waiting, dressed up and ready to go. he doesn't hesitate and takes their arm, cruising in close, clearly delighted they're wearing his crown. ]
Lucky me as well, right?
I figured we could explore the Station a bit. Not sure where, though.
[ which means that he doesn't get an immediate answer and also has to go through the doors and walk, but, he'll figure it out. by the time kaeya reaches the beach, aquila is already there, as expected. they've rolled up the pant legs of their uniform to their knees - they're very pale under there - but otherwise are in full uniform.
when the door to the beach room opens, they hum. ]
kaeya's dressed in just a simple linen shirt and trousers, the legs of which are also rolled up as he hops a bit to remove his shoes and toss them to the side as he runs to meet aquila in the sand. there's a small bag over his shoulder that sounds like it's sloshing just a little bit inside.
[a shadow portal opens up next to kaeya, and vulpecula steps out and reaches for his hand.]
What are we celebrating?
[they will make another portal to take them to the tea room since it's on the station so they'd have to either portal directly there or play revolving door roulette in the lobby to get there.]
[ weh! he will take both of their hands actually and do a little spin with them! this is his outfit for the day, though on his right ring finger is a pretty, red string tied in a little bow. as vulpecula portals them to the tea room, kaeya stretches happily, raising his arms over his head. ]
I'm a married man.
[ hee ]
Of course, it's not complete until we make it back home... we're missing our third piece, after all. [ he grins ] I know it's not the ideal place, but people are dropping left and right... we wanted that much more to hold onto.
[ when kaeya dozes off in the dream suite after his very exciting day, he will find himself standing in a blank, neutral space, slightly fuzzy at the edges.
[ he will... stand there for a moment, rubbing his cheek a moment before lifting his head. he glances around, fuzzy as the room can be before focusing on aquila at last. ]
