[ aquila mutters, but seems to at least be done with this ridiculous diatribe.
... maybe. astrology is not that much better, honestly. ]
Not particularly. I have a few star stories here and there, but I try to avoid any heavenly body directing how I live my life, constellation or otherwise. Why do you ask?
To tell you the truth, I'm just curious about how much stock is put in them from place to place. Everyone in Teyvat is born beneath a constellation. Some overlap, some do not. Supposedly, this constellation tells of a great difficulty one might need to overcome, or of something in their life they might lend themselves to. Depends.
I never really saw stars until my father brought me topside. It was all new to me otherwise. If I'd never left, I would have never seen or known them.
[ a sheepish smile ] I don't get to travel much back home, unless I'm working with my contacts. So I'm trying to make the most of it...
I don't know. Sometimes I think our Astrologer will say anything for a bit of coin considering how she always complains about her lack thereof.
[ he rubs his jaw. ]
It's a little unnerving, really, how close she is to the thing I fear most. Don't know if it's coincidence, or if the stars are telling the truth, but it's an awful specific prediction.
Perhaps I wish I didn't, or that I'd never heard it in the first place. Star are so ominous.
[ there's a touch of amusement, there, a little wry. ]
...I like to think predictions in that manner are best taken with a healthy grain of spite. Is it too close of a question to ask you what you fear most? Or should that be for a third date.
I suppose I couldn't just say "spiders". [ they are not afraid of spiders. obviously.
but. there's a thoughtful pause, and then a little more measured: ] ... Truthfully, there is very little that I'm afraid of, Kaeya. It's a hard question to answer in small measures.
I asked first, though. I'll keep my word and tell you, after.
The thing I fear the most above all is having to choose... between the land of my birth and the land that raised me to be who I am. One is destiny, blood, one is heart, selfishness...
It should seem obvious what answer is the right one, supposedly. Yet it's a choice I do believe I'll run from as fast as I can.

Do you put stock in it? In yours, I suppose.

[ he knocks their knees together. ]
Would you share something with me as well?
no subject
That depends. What?

Doesn't have to be your greatest, but... I think it should be worth mine, perhaps?

Are you calling this a third date, then?
no subject
Dinner. Dancing. Wine in a private dream. I think so.

At least while I'm able to.
