or rather, like, a month or so later, kaeya finds a bottle wherever he lives (i am so genshin canon blind) that's similar to the ones people used to use to contact the watchers. inside is a note, written in scratchy, quick handwriting:]
Rude of you to keep a girl waiting. You owe me gliding lessons, punk. Send me a message back through this thing.
[ huh! message in a bottle, don't get many of those now a days, but the glint off the glass in the fountain that he still occasionally finds himself looking for catches his eye. he scoops the bottle up, reads its contents, and immediately writes back! ]
I've never been so happy to see a bottle. Meet me under the statue? I'll make it up to you.
[oh... cute, she actually loves kae as a nickname? anyway.
he'll find her under that statue! she looks much better than she did - hair tamed, clothes matching and appropriately warm for the weather. and her expression is wide and wondrous - this place is new, exciting, and very busy in comparison to her own home. she'll never get used to this.
she's not keeping a close eye on her surroundings, though she does still have her weasel, who is currently wriggling around across her shoulders like a hyperactive noodle.]
polaris is the first to bark out a greeting, trotting ahead of kaeya happily with his tail high as he sprints closer to lup and sits at her feet in greeting. of course, kaeya isn't too far behind, dressed in his usual get up, ostentatious fur and all. ]
Sorry to keep you both waiting so long! It figures they'd throw me right back into work after eight weeks of chaos, but I've escaped their clutches for now.
[ he'll swan up beside her easily with a grin, he is more than pleased to see her here. ]
[she jumps, when she hears polaris - but then laughs a little, immediately crouching down to pet? it's not a thorough scrub down, but it is a very gentle, easy scritch behind the ears, her expression warm.
her weasel, chaa, squeaks excitedly and launches himself at kaeya, noodling over to stand on his shoulder and lick his face - which makes lup pause, taking an unintentionally sharp breath. oh, wow. that - sure is a feeling. give her a second.
and then:]
Oh, you know. Making sure a city still works, rebuilding. All sorts of uh, fun stuff.
