They'd Be Drenched In It LMAO - Tumblr Posts

the explosion almost sends chongyun spinning, being launched away. he barely clings onto the bank though, digging his fingers into the roots hidden beneath for some sort of grip. if ren wants to use his vision for these shenanigans, chongyun can use theirs too.

they freeze whatever bits of water they can, more to shield chongyun from any further chaos in the water. by the time things start settling, chongyun can see that ren is already standing ashore, dry. there's a brief scowl on chongyun's face; THEY'RE covered in mud and still soaking wet.

they're practically CRAWLING out of the water now, brushing mud off their clothes and flicking it toward the ground. "you asshole," chongyun whines, though his tone is lighthearted. "what if i'd gone over a...a waterfall or something?"

there is no waterfall near this body of water. it's JUST a lake.

still, he's sitting down, and taking his jacket off to ring it out, maybe rinse it off again. "admittedly, i think i did have that coming. i forgot how strong your anemo is." they grin up at ren though. "i'd do it again in a heartbeat though."

this  time,  his  guard  is  up  —  and  so  when  the  exorcist  scoops  up  a  handful  of  muck  mumbling  vaguely  about  such  filthy  things  (  wet  dirt  )  ren  already  knows  what  they're  planning.  ❝  chongyun. ❞  he  lurches  away,  but  his  flowy  attire  is  entirely  SATURATED  and  it's  difficult  to  maneuver  with  even  a  modicum  of  his  usual  fluidity.  hands  raise  defensively,  and  there's  a  curious  cocktail  of  rage  and  genuine  fear  painting  itself  across  the  wanderer's  countenance.  ❝  don't  you  dare. ❞  no.  no.  no.   ❝  IF  YOU  GET  MY  CLOTHES  DIRTY,  I  WILL  KILL  YOU. ❞

regrettably,  chongyun  does  dare.  ren  shrieks  in  a  manner  he  will  absolutely  REFUSE  to  acknowledge  later  and  responds  in  kind.  a  flick  of  the  wrist,  a  burst  of  anemo  striking  the  water  —  and  the  small  pond  EXPLODES  as  if  a  particularly  large  stone  has  been  dropped  in  its  center.  now  they're  even  more  drenched  than  before;  that's  just  great.

...  it's  strange.  he  feels  almost  normal  right  now.

dropping  that  thought  as  though  it  were  a  hot  coal,  ren  rises  to  his  feet  and  stomps  out  of  the  water.  he  spreads  his  arms  and  looks  down  at  his  clothes,  wrinkling  his  nose  at  the  sight  of  them  —  though  another  gust  of  wind  seemingly  repels  the  moisture,  scattering  countless  shimmering  droplets  every  which  way.  (  suspiciously,  the  majority  fly  in  chongyun's  direction.  )
