[ this is probably the first time, since waking up embedded in crystals, that ye xiu has started to miss home. he hasn't even been gone that long but spending his day with megumi, and how she reminds him of people that aren't here — it makes his laugh sound a little warmer, wistful.

but it's not so bad, really. the more they talk, he thinks he'll miss home less and less. he's never been the type to get too caught up in that stuff. ]

You'll have to tell me about all those places sometime. I haven't had the opportunity to travel much. [ besides the time he ran away from home - ] So coming here is the furthest I've gone.

[ when she tries to pay for their order and comes up short, ye xiu blinks, pays attention to the shopkeeper mentioning words he's heard from the scientists. moonblessed. moonlacing. nevermind the prismal just called them a couple, but you know.

megumi grabs his attention so easily that it's hard to focus on anyone else but here. it's probably a good thing. (the way she blushed is pretty cute too...) ]

What do you think we should do? Kiss?
