[ from here ]

Hmm. I wonder.

[ They let out a low laugh. That look on their face has melted away completely, given way to a lighter, more amused one. Without much concern for being in an open space, they move into his lap. Hands on his shoulders to steady themselves, Mira straddles him.

Being so close to someone like this, taking in their warmth... Mira handles it better than they'd thought they would. They're not going to back away, though, or run. It's so foreign and near-overwhelming, but they won't run. ]

As rough as I want? You're giving me too much power. [ They hum softly, pressing just the tips of their fingers against his cheek. ] Then, if you're ready...

[ They lean in, pressing their lips to his. ]

[ They've been in Teyvat for a while now, and even though it's been a lot to get used to, there's nowhere they'd rather be. There's one thing, an important one, that they're not sure how to say to Tartaglia. It feels huge, larger than anything they've ever admitted. Trips them up just to think about it.

Lying has never been their strong suit. Neither has being anything other than transparent, so maybe he knows. Whatever Tartaglia's done--and they know what it means to be a Fatui Harbinger, what they do to get what they want--doesn't matter too much to them. Willingly, they'd come along with him. If they really disapproved of all of it, they wouldn't be here.

So.

Admitting the thing they keep tucked inside. It's just three words, simple and short, but they also bring anxiety. A line they don't know how to cross. Something that could change everything... or change nothing. You saved me, they want to say. In more than one way.

It's been on their mind, though, recently. Like an itch they can't scratch, annoying and persistent. At least they dwell on it when they're apart from him; when they're with him, it's easy as breathing. Anxiety wiped away, because Tartaglia centers and grounds them.

But-- to the moment. Mira can't help but be amused while they're here in Fontaine. Just familiar enough to remind them of home, but in a rare, comforting way. If they can't--and they won't--show him a bit of their home, this is more than sufficient. Two homes, coming together. As far as they're concerned, Teyvat's accepted them. The Cryo vision dangling over their heart is enough proof for them. ]

You know, I'm a bit offended. [ No actual annoyance here. ] That you didn't take me here sooner. You'd better make it up to me.
