Is that what you're partial too? A bold hand?
[ swanning up to, hands spread. at his side, polaris steps daintily, his claws clicking softly against the ground in his peacock form as he eyes rameel with curiosity. ]
I do like to leave an impression. How are you since our last chat?

Well, it certainly grabs my attention.
[ rameel's puma-like daemon will be resting at their side looking rather indifferent towards the whole exchange despite rameel themselves looking delighted. ]
I've been keeping myself busy. Many of you have many demands and many questions. Some are reasonable and others are just funny.
Which brings me to say that your's is the funniest.

Oh? Is it not often that you're asked about your personal lives? Love is, after all, something that makes the world go round.
Or was the bath bit?
Regardless, I do enjoy a bit of gossip. And of course, getting to know those who are overseeing us.

It was the bath bit. Of all the requests that people have come to me about and conversations I've had about, none of them were about the baths.
[ they'll chuckle. ]
How have all of you been faring with the lack of hot water? But I'll consider how I can go about warming your water while also letting you know that my love life is quite depressing.
There's no love for Rameel.

The water's been absolutely frigid. I tried warming it with what ability I found myself with, but unfortunately I'm only able to warm a teacup's worth of water. Quite depressing and not at all conducive to bathing.
[ polaris shifts in a twist of dust into his ermine form, crawls quickly up kaeya's body to nuzzle softly into his neck. as he does so, he'll find somewhere to sit. give me somewhere to sit. ]
Truly you're joking. No love for Rameel? Is it because you're picky? Or perhaps because of your forward nature. [ the nun outfits, dude. that was p fuckin forward. ]

[ hmm. they'll tap on their chin a few times before lighting up. ]
Have you considered talking to Yomiel? All of us were blessed with a little something special. If you're ever cold you should hold onto Yomiel super close because they'll keep you nice and toasty!
[ they'll hug themselves and swing back and forth a few times before laughing and answering rest of what kaeya had to say. ]
Rameel is a lonely Watcher because Rameel is a bad boy who works too much, plays too much, and never rests.

Mmm, I suppose I can relate to that. So many things you would like to do, there's barely any time for rest, but you must remember Rameel. Life is lonely on one's own.
[ can't relate really! totally can't relate! ]
Perhaps I could think of something better. My brother, he used to be able to wield fire far more competently than I. I was told by our watchers last time that we would be able to potentially earn our abilities back, and to send a missive when I was prepared to discuss just that. I was told to wait until this very week.
[ seriously now: ]
What could I potentially do for you to earn that back for him?
[ i don't even care about my own. ]

[ well, given the opportunity to not talk about themselves, they're going to take it and immediately zone in the very interesting little twist here. they'll lean in and smirk. ]
To earn it back for your brother?
[ their puma daemon looking a bit agitated as rameel thinks. ]
Now that's an interesting request. I wouldn't have expected this turn of events. You're not interested in getting your abilities back?

I want mine back as well. But I want his returned to him first if it had to be one or the other.

Putting your eggs in his basket and not your own? Now, that's a curious move, but if it's for your brother, then I can't say I don't understand.
[ they'll cross their arms and think for a moment. hmmm. ]
For fire...fire for someone else. [ they'll tap their foot a few times, their daemon looking up at them before snapping again. ] How about you help four different people with four different tasks. They can't be things like opening doors or the like, but something a bit more significant.

[ kaeya will ignore the eggs comment, his face remains fairly neutral as he listens and polaris lifts his head higher, takes a step close to nearly place a clawed foot on kaeya's boot. stability. ]
Of those among my number, correct? I see no reason why it can't be done. You've a deal. Once I've completed my end of the bargain, what shall I do? Send you another message?
Or are you always watching?

Or are you always watching?
Correct! And, please, we're not always watching so I'd appreciate a message once you've completed the tasks.
[ they'll give kaeya a slight bow. ]
Of course, I'll let you know that the fine print states that it won't be the full strength of what he had. However, if you want to keep working on it, then you'll just have to keep coming back.

Ah, well, glad you aren't always watching, my maidenhood is intact. I'll be sure to send along a bottle and perhaps a small token of my appreciation next time.
[ a light smile ]
The fine print has been noted. We'll see one another again soon, hopefully.

If you're hungover tomorrow, I'm going to make sure the Temporals don't give you a remedy.
[ stop don't bully the man, baraqiel. but here they are, coming to join him out in the courtyard of the housing plaza, cloak enclosed around them and tiger on their heels. ]

[ no bully him more, he likes it when you bully him. in any case, kaeya is already seated in the courtyard with polaris resting his head in his lap, ears stroked slowly. ]
That would be absolutely fair of you if I had the intention of doing so. But tonight, I promise you that getting absolutely wasted isn't my intention. Rather, just sharing a drink.
[ he's pouring himself a glass. there are two, whether baraqiel drinks or not. it's only polite (it's how he was raised!) polaris lifts his head up at the sight of baraqiel's daemon, gives a soft whining noise, a simple vocalization in greeting. ]
I'm afraid I've received some grave news. So I'm going to do what I always do when that happens. [ the bottle taps down firmly. you can serve yourself. if you want. ]

[ you really toe the line of sadism and masochism, don't you, kaeya. baraqiel opens their wings to flip out their coat, just enough so that they can drop down to sit without sitting on either fabric or feather. the tiger comes around to their side, chuffing in response to polaris' whine to return the greeting. ]
Simply a warning - you've been useful during trials, better to not sully it when we have a number of problems ahead of us.
[ they pick up the bottle calmly, serving themself with all the ease of someone who does drink fairly regularly, an easy and smooth pour. ]
With all the grave news that we receive from Thursday onwards, one has to wonder, exactly, which news you received to take the edge off with a drink.

I'm not certain if it's something I can tell you.
[ lifts his glass, clink clink baraqiel. polaris meanwhile will settle at kaeya's feet, paws crossed. ]

By other side do you mean when we're in audience or speaking with the Temporal Watchers? Or if we're speaking with someone affiliated with the opposite side.
[ it's important. he takes a long drink. it's not dainty. ]
[ it's important. he takes a long drink. it's not dainty. ]
With the Temporal Watchers, and vice versa for what they can catch.
I usually leave you all on my peripheral when I can. I think listening to some of the conversations would lower my intelligence, but, then again, they also make for good blackmail material.
[ y'all stupid but y'all also gossip ]

[ he chuckles at that. ]
Gossip? Baraqiel, I didn't take you for the sort. Then again, you have your own sort of sense of humor about you, so I shouldn't put it past you.

[ ( baraqiel voice ) i will plant the seeds of chaos and reap what grows from others running with it ]
Most gossip is trite. But, sometimes, interesting things can be heard from it. I've used it to my advantage back home, and could easily here, if I were in a position where it mattered.

Home isn't something you might be able to talk about, is it?
