"Soft little petals of light flicker across the darkening sky like little light bugs of the faraway cosmos. Lush grass kisses her nape and tickles her ears as she rests in this field, so far away and even further still. It allows for a brief moment of reprieve from the cacophony of this world that is not her own, the little bit of peace her heart desperately bled for continuously. From here she looks at the sky and the little lofty clouds sailing through it. It greatly reminds her of the sky she watched as a kid.

Memories of today flow through her mind, cuddling themselves up behind her eyelids along with countless others, ones that span from the day she was learning to walk. Prompted by a child she glimpsed today, taking their first step into their mother’s arms. 

Similar experiences bind themselves into a string that Jien feels like she can tie around her neck. The memories are real, and remain the only thing to anchor her to reality and the belief that she herself is still here. They urge her to eat breakfast in the mornings and they lick the tears from her eyes before she slumbers in the night. What would she be without these memories but a hollow bone?

For once more she finds herself wishing she could take the dirt road that leads to her home again. And in her mind’s eye she imagines herself doing so, remembering every pebble and blade of grass as she walks through the retelling of a time long gone. She walks up the rocky hill, feeling small, realizing  she is half the height she is now, making her heart jump with each step. And once she finally reaches the top and the front of the door, her little lungs gasping for spring air, she feels grown again, towering in the old doorway. The house is empty. Everything is the same way it was nearly two decades ago. There is no one waiting for her. Not people, not her pets, and the books hold no words but blank pages.

Jien opens her eyes, feeling a wetness bubble to her lash line, and she breathes a heavy sigh, tail swishing from one side to the other in the bed of grass she made, her shoulders slacking. 

She wants to just … be. She doesn’t want to continue, her heart screams for rest, oozing blood from every crevice in hopes she’d notice it and stop. But she moves forward, somewhere, prompted by the same heart to do so. It makes no sense. Why can’t she just sit here forever? Staring at the skies and waiting for stars, walking through endless woods and halls of her home?"

Just by the pose you see who wears the pants in this relationship.

It's giving "he asked for no pickles"

OMG I LOVE HOW YOU WROTE MORTEFI, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE 🥹🥹🥹🥹

So glad you're enjoying the hcs :)

There's definitely gonna be more of Mortefi once I'm done with irl stuff, I have some requests for him waiting in my inbox.

Crying over how Jien will never know peace even after her mission is done after which she'd be left with even more memories that she will never be able to forget or come to terms with.

I'd love to make an Exile OC if I knew what they were. Are they just criminals? Homeless people? Some sort of actual ethnic/cultural group that people just discriminate against? I'm confused cause there's quests where we help Exiles but then we're allowed to just beat up and steal from them in the world exploration, like wth. And apparently Calcharo grew up as an Exile so seriously what's the explanation.

Also, Calcharo lore is so good. I love his character. Skipping next couple banners cause I used so many pulls on Jiyan. (80 pity after losing 50/50 to Jianxin) and now I have to grind even more to get my bbg Cal

Definitely gonna ship him with an OC eventually (I live vicariously through all my OCs)

From my understanding Exiles are some sort of bandit groups, they're not necessarily evil like the Factidus(if that's how you spell it) but they definitely deserve to be cautious around and they don't really bow down to the higher power of the country/region. I guess you can compare them to Eremites from Genshin Impact. Eremites are desert people who are commonly mercenaries but in one quest we meet Jeht and her father and we see it's not all black and white - there's bad Eremites that care for nothing else but money and their own skin, but then there's Jeht's father who fell in love with an outsider and was exiled from his group for it. We do beat them up in world exploration lol I have only played one quest in Wuwa that's oriented towards Exiles so I'm not really an expert here, I'm only talking with the knowledge I have so far 😭 if there's mistakes in this I'd be happy if someone corrected me on this.

But tbh you have quite a lot of creative freedom with Exiles. Although they may be in contact with other Exile groups they still seem to group up and look at the group's business and interests first, acting independently before anything else. You can make your own Exile group and make them really morally bad or gray or maybe even make them veer to the morally good unlike the majority of other Exile groups.

Exile OC and Calcharo are gonna slay together though, I know that 😈 they can have a shared background to bond over fr, maybe even make them interact briefly before if their Exile groups came in contact - maybe they were in conflict too?

may even post some "aesthetic" bc I found some pics on pinterest that go so well for her

Writing some Jien angst and drabbles so I may post those later
