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.]

[They end up finding a backpack type bag that will most likely end up Arashi's new napping place when Wanderer isn't wearing his big hat. It isn't as good as his pockets, but he'll deal for now.

As they walk:]

Where do you even live?

[book2thehead]

[Unfortunately for Wanderer, Heizou pretty much reverted back to his usual demeanor when they resumed shopping. But once they're alone again, this time with Heizou leading the way to his place, he seems... just a little more relaxed than before.]

Not far from here, actually. I found a little apartment that perfectly suited my needs and turned it into something of a home! It isn't much, really. But I'm quite fond of it~

[threebetrayals]

[A shame. The other Heizou is better.]

Is it also in a tree?

[book2thehead]

[He's still in there somewhere. Give him more opportunities to come back out and you'll see him again!]

[That makes Heizou snort, looking over at Wanderer with an amused look on his face.]

Ha ha, very funny. I think you may have missed your calling as a comedian!

[threebetrayals]

I'm just saying, we anemo vision holders seem drawn to trees and high places.

[book2thehead]

Oh? Are you sure about that? I haven't seen you flying up into any trees yet.

[threebetrayals]

You haven't seen me. That's the key word, isn't it?

[book2thehead]

I've heard that line before! Should I consider it a confession~?

[threebetrayals]

Consider it what you will~ Any protests would just prove your point, wouldn't it?

[If he were anyone else, he'd have a moment of "am I flirting"]

[book2thehead]

[The smile on Heizou's face grows. He likes this. He likes this a lot.]

Oho, the Wanderer learns fast~! Have I become that easy to read?

[threebetrayals]

It happens to all humans, eventually.

[book2thehead]

Hmm... Are you sure about that?

[threebetrayals]

When you live as long as I have, you start to figure out how humans work.

[Even if he spent most of his five centuries being a lab rat.]

[book2thehead]

Oh? So tell me- How do I work?

[threebetrayals]

The same way Venti does: you like reactions.

[Anyone who's spent two minutes with either would know this but still.]

[book2thehead]

[That makes him laugh.]

That seems a little oversimplified, but you're not wrong!

[Is it any wonder that he and Venti get on like a house on fire?]

[threebetrayals]

See? Predictable. It's why I've stopped fighting Venti most of the time--there's no point.

[book2thehead]

Aw, I think I'd be sad if you stopped fighting me~

[Even though he does like being right. And winning as a consequence of that.]

[threebetrayals]

Because you also hate being bored?

[book2thehead]

Whoops, I guess I really am predictable!

[threebetrayals]

[A shrug.]

I rest my case. Humans are predictable.

[book2thehead]

I'll have to keep looking for ways to surprise you, then~

[threebetrayals]

You can certainly try.

[Where is this apartment?]

[book2thehead]

[Heizou chuckles softly, giving Wanderer a fond look before quickening his pace.]

Almost there, by the way. Just around the corner here and up to the second floor!

[threebetrayals]

A high floor. I knew it.

[Smug little shit. Ignoring the weird fondness in that look yep/]
