Who: Wanderer and Heizou
Which: Log
Where: Around the town
What: It's summer, Wanderer is himself, Heizou is a terror, and frankly WANDERER NEEDS NEW CLOTHES GOOD GODS MAN
Warnings: None atm

[It's hot. There's more to the day, yes, but it's hot. That's all Wanderer really cares about, especially since it's so hot his flying kitten is still asleep in his house and not perched on his hat.

Wanderer really, really hates the heat. He hates the cold too, but for some reason the heat is making him cranky. Why couldn't his creator have thought to put in a cooling system of some sort? No, he doesn't want to sweat, but it would be nice to be able to be cool in this gross heat!

He's sitting under a tree by the lake, trying to cool off and debating if he really wants to stick his feet in the lake. It's tempting.]

[threebetrayals]

Annoyed by your presence, maybe. [And yet here he is, still walking with Heizou.] I'm not dating anyone.

[book2thehead]

[And there's that mischievous little smirk, falling right back into place.]

I suppose that's true. So far, at least~

[threebetrayals]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[book2thehead]

Well, how long do you and Venti plan to keep your... situationship so undefined?

[threebetrayals]

Situ--ugh. Ask him.

[book2thehead]

[Another quirk of his eyebrow.]

Somehow I don't think Venti's the one who's hesitant to put a label on it.

[threebetrayals]

He hasn't shown any inclination to put a label on it.

[book2thehead]

[That makes his eyebrows arch up. Maybe it's because Venti's just such an open, free spirit he doesn't feel any need for labels? That would certainly explain... a few things.]

Do you want him to?

[threebetrayals]

I don't think he would, even if I did.

[Anemo boys and labels, man.]

[book2thehead]

[Heizou sighs a little and stops, hands on his hips and actually looking a little stern.]

But do you want him to.

[threebetrayals]

I don't see why it matters if I do or not.

[Because Venti isn't going to be around forever, so why label something fleeting?]

[book2thehead]

[For a moment there he just... looks at Wanderer. Doing his studying thing again. Analyzing every little miniscule movement. These ageless beings are really on a whole other level of Closed Off.]

...Does it bother you?

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer isn't twitchy or anything, just annoyed. And maybe a little...almost scared? Like thinking about this is making him uncomfortable.]

Not really. I don't see why it would, either.

[book2thehead]

[Unfortunately, this is one of those times that Heizou doesn't mind causing a little discomfort.

He steps a little closer, leaning into Wanderer's space with a studious expression.]

...If Venti saw when I kissed you, would that bother you?

[threebetrayals]

[Why are you in his space?!]

Yes, because I'm a private person. Obviously.

[book2thehead]

[Because why not?]

What if you saw Venti kissing me?

[threebetrayals]

[He does actually stop to think about that before shrugging.]

That's simply Venti. He is the god of freedom.

[So yeah.]

[book2thehead]

[He quirks that eyebrow again, head tilting ever so slightly, eyes still searching.]

...Hmm. Interesting~

We should test this theory sometime. ♡

[threebetrayals]

[Congratulations, Heizou, you get to see Dumbfounded Wanderer. He just stares at Heizou for a few seconds, utterly flummoxed.]

What.

[book2thehead]

[That look is exactly the shot of dopamine Heizou's craving. Thank you for giving it to him, Wanderer!]

Nothing, nothing! Just thinking out loud~

[threebetrayals]

[Heizou there are less dangerous ways to get dopamine. Have you considered free-running?]

Whatever.

[book2thehead]

[His main thrill is solving mysteries and catching criminals. Dangerous things are much more interesting. Maybe he can take up sky diving, though.]

Would you like to keep me company for a little longer? We can do something you like, this time.

[threebetrayals]

The things I like to do are solitary. [Like sewing. And crafting. And spoiling his cat.] And stationary. You like to move more than that.

[book2thehead]

Oh? And how did you come to deduce such a thing about me, hm?

[threebetrayals]

[A shrug!]

You move more than Arashi on catnip.
