[ oh! delightful! kaeya is resting with polaris curled up at his side in peacock form. the daemon's eyes open and his head lifts to greet both kotetsu and finley. ]
I quite missed yours this morning, [ kaeya responds in kind. no eyepatch, but a colorful scarf in place of the old ripped cloth he managed to use before. ] Come and have a seat with me? [ pat pat eagerly on a cushion beside him. there is a pile! ]
[ kaeya relaxes in an instant, leaning into his presence almost immediately the way polaris trots up to trill softly at finley in glee, his feathery tail fluffed in happiness. ]
I'm rather fond of this place already, I've never been somewhere so warm before... it almost makes me feel like I'm on vacation. [ the underlying hint is that they most certainly are not. ]
[ there's an easy shift from peacock to wolf in one swift motion as polaris copies the sprawling, crawling closer on his belly to finley. simp. kaeya meanwhile rests his chin on his palm, lounging. ]
Who did you wake up with this morning instead of me?
[ he simps harder, nose to nose, sniffing softly. finley is literally best girl so he's just nosing up to her happily, tail wagging the more he nuzzles in. ]
Spike.
[ pleased? content? he just woke up in a really good mood this morning! ]
Which means I can keep an eye on him. Make certain he doesn't push himself.
[ a lot of support, especially after the trial and execution. the pall of it hangs heavy, but at the same time, kaeya finds himself soothed by the sheer proximity in this moment. ]
What are your plans for today? Will you be a tourist?

with the offer, he walks over to slump down onto the offered cushion. ]
At least we still get to see each other. Being neighbors isn't too bad.

It's an interesting place. Never would have guessed something like this after the last few locations.
[ it certainly is a change of pace. one that he doesn't mind one bit. the heat is oppressive at times, but relaxing like this isn't bad. ]

That's good. He needs someone like you around him.

I was thinking of looking around. Maybe trading some of my work for some coin to be able to keep myself and someone else fed while we're here.
