@windsfavored || FATUI.

sumeru is no liyue. but chongyun can't go back. it's hard to face everyone after everything he'd been accomplice to. not that he can bring himself to go home either.

chongyun can't remember why he'd been in sumeru in the first place. his memories are very scattered, and it had only been thanks to the help of some physicians that he's even able to walk on his own. according to them, he'd been found unconscious, barely clinging to life, almost as if they'd been discarded.

right now, chongyun is testing out the newest walking stick they'd recieved from a neighboring child. it's not perfect by any means, but it's allowing them to wander the city streets a little more. at the moment, chongyun is inspecting a food vendor when they notice something flashy out of the corner of their eye.

turning to look, chongyun blinks a couple of times. for a split second, that large kasa looks familiar. he's not sure why he feels like he knows that hat, but the memory is gone as quickly as it came. still, there's something about the person that draws chongyun. he wrestles inwardly for a moment, before giving into the urge to hobble closer.

"pardon," chongyun says. their voice is still quiet, husky from some sort of disuse. also, beyond memory's reach. "may i ask where your hat came from? it's very striking." chongyun isn't the type to wear hats himself. but maybe it's something he could potentially purchase and send back home. his family would be glad to know he's still alive.
