Who ⬤ Artemy Burakh and you!
What ⬤ All around the place.
When ⬤ Throughout the month.
Where ⬤ Lots of places.
Content Warnings ⬤ Drug use. Will add as needed.
i. dumpster diving;
[ Despite not having to struggle so much for coin and food, Artemy still can be found buried halfway in garbage cans throughout the city. He digs around to see if there is anything particularly useful in the trash or even if there's half-eaten or thrown away scraps to eat.
Pulling himself free, he does not seem at all embarrassed or troubled to have been caught. Instead, he hesitantly holds out what he's found. The hesitation is that he isn't sure he wants to give it up, but he also finds no worth in being too greedy. ]
Would you like some?
ii. high definition;
[ He has tested out his own medication on himself so it doesn't seem strange to him that others request help in the same manner.
If it will benefit the population in some way, he is willing. Of course, he wonders how effective the drugs can be to someone who is relatively healthy. Relatively being the key term.
He is still recovering from twelve-days of exhaustion, starvation, dehydration, and a wide variety of issues. So, actually, maybe these drugs are good to try on him.
'Course he ends up feeling more like he has downed multiple bottles of twyrine. His senses both feel deadened and awakened; he feels like he can actually hear the city around him. It leaves him speechless that to come with the awareness that the city is just as alive as his town once was. ]
It's calling.
[ It's what he says as he staggers around the streets. ]
The city is calling.
iii. kappa kappa;
All right!
[ It is what is heard before his hand snaps out to grab the back of the shirt of someone sneaking around the tunnels. ]
What are you doing here?
[ Artemy draws himself up to his full height; his arms cross as he stares at the person with a look of absolute disappointment. Didn't the Sutoku Alliance say that this area is closed off? ]
A group asks to be left alone and you have to come bother them? Where are your senses?
iv. wildcard;
[ Throw whatever. I don't mind. If you want to check with anything, you can PM me. No worries. ]

(holds close)
[ There is genuine warmth in his voice; he is more than grateful that Xingqiu understands what he is saying and taking it to heart. This is not the first time that this has happened in the conversation, but he shows his full gratitude each and every time -- in his voice, in the softening his usually stern expression. ]
I know that you will not. [ Artemy gives a sharp nod. ] There is no need for assurances between family. [ He ignores if he had done the same earlier; the two of them have come to understand one another and are now as kin. ]
I know my brother to be a good man, and that is all I need ever know.
♥♥♥
It's strange. I don't often hear such encouraging words. I mean, it's not that I am in need of motivation...
[ He is mostly self-reliant, however, there is something pleasing about the words he hears. Seldom do his own personal endeavors, aspiration, and interest are encouraged by his family in Liyue. But he understands, everyone grows up, but just as long as he could find small moments of satisfaction. But his days of favoring rabbits have passed. ]
Oh. You should finish your soup. It's probably gotten cold now... sorry.
no subject
[ It is nice to know there is someone out there that thinks well of what you are doing; that is not just yourself doing everything alone. His shoulders drop just a little before he adjusts his posture. ]
There's no need to apologize. I'm the one who ran my mouth so much.
[ Artemy smiles; it's a tired one. One that is not used to be given to others, but he is trying. Little by little, he is trying to bring himself back. ]
Thank you for listening to me.
[ Such a warm moment -- before he begins eating with less reservation. The soup is cold enough to lift the bread bowl up to drink out of it. He can eat the bowl as he drinks. Everything is good here. ]
no subject
though moon has never understood wine,
and shadow only trails along behind... ]
No, please. I do enjoy the exchange of words and you have imparted upon me a great favor. I should be the one expressing gratitude.
[ Weariness in upturned lips is noted, politely he declines his own curiosity in favor of not prying. If Artemy ever wishes to share further tales then he would be here to lend an ear to him.
For now, he begins to nibble away at the sweet treat, this should be enough as he stated previously. ]
