// I have squirrelled so much tonight I no longer have the brain to do replies 💀 tomorrow between writing assignments and work

It still took him many hours to happen upon the sealed outcrop that held the latest `offering`, and once again he still couldn't quite pinpoint the source of that lingering energy. These flowers seemed... different. They weren't like anything he'd seen around Nod-Krai. Strange... ...one stem is~

// Quick errand for myself, then I shall return

Rerir is quiet for a time after Kyryll answered him, head canted to the side a little as he debates how he wants to handle this from this point forward. ...he's bound to cause problems for the fae whether he means to or not... is that something he can live with? Maybe he should... try approaching~

// I love this new pfp for Rerir SIGH

It may have taken him the better part of the day to realize yet another `offering` of sorts had been left at the outcrops, but he found it nevertheless. Though with how long it had been again, he could only pick up on faint traces of energy lingering on the flowers. ...another local variety...~

Rerir was listening even if it appeared he was not. Though his gaze remained focused on his reflection in morbidly disturbed fascination, he was keen on every single word, every little move that Kyryll made somewhere behind him. He was prepared for the worst of things, resigned to accept that he~

Rerir wasn't sure what sort of response he was expecting from Kyryll, forcing out a frustrated breath at first and shaking his head. "No-- that's not what I--" Wasn't what he what? Wasn't what he meant? Wasn't what he wanted? Not even he was sure what he was trying to say anymore, turning his~

// As much as I loved the fan art I was using for Rerir's icon.... it was time to switch, this one feels better... for now.

what's the difference between a man and a monster?

full disclosure, i am a monster. a creature of despair—— not that that should be a cause for concern.

// ....okay but why does it feel like the Mimics or the Twins would work really well there....

// Sorry folks gimme a few. Genetic contributors wanted another VR night since this shark frenzy is still going on in our fishing game so I am... a little stuck for now

Unfortunately for Kyryll, Rerir was so distracted by everything around him that he was struggling to pay attention to the fae's movements beyond the fact that he was still in front of him leading him somewhere. When the other stopped, Rerir hadn't quite noticed yet, turning his head just in time~

// As I write Rerir in more situations where he gets to be calm and interact with others in a calm way, I have decided any time Rerir is comfortable with someone, he'll remove the bandages from around his mouth. Likewise, when he's embarrassed, he'll pull them back up over his mouth or tug at them.

// Praise be to the brave soul that did this so we could see how Rerir moves and the things he says during the fight 😩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkHW...

// SIGH. I love this man so much, how very dare you Hoyo

// It occurred to me that there's a symbol that appears on the ground when Rerir shows up in Nefer's memories to confront her. I suspected it was similar to the tattoo on his back and I WAS RIGHT. Which means it could, in theory, spread onto his chest in a way that's covered by the collar/bandages

Rerir listened quietly, averting his gaze from Kyryll when he mentioned his presence alone may have unwanted side effects on his realm, reaching up to adjust the bandages over his mouth as though attempting to further hide the way his lips pulled in a frown. ...he'd never really thought about the~

While he himself hasn't exactly been monitoring things, the Wild Hunt has been drawn to Nasha Town more frequently of late. Why, Rerir couldn't say, but he'd grown curious enough about the sudden lack of control he had on it in the area to check himself for once. He already knew that a great many~

// This

His favourite word was about to become `vengeance`, because if Kyryll thought Rerir was above petty games like a little back and forth prank once in a while, he was sorely mistaken. Rerir was listening even if he did not appear to be paying attention to much of anything the fae said, studying~

// Retweeting 2 of my 3 HSR accounts like I actually use them at all 😩😂 Alas... I do kinda miss Phai and Blade.

Rerir's eyes were already narrowing long before Kyryll reached out to take his hand, that suspicion returning with a vengeance as the fae spoke and mentioned `something else` he'd once done (to Flins, he assumed). His gaze dropped to their hands when Kyryll took his, growing more and more~

// actual footage of Rerir afterwards 😂

It was strange.... he understood the language Kyryll used, but he'd never spoken it in his life. ...perhaps it was the Abyss' influence on him, giving him the knowledge of things in the world like this without a true understanding of how to utilize it himself. If he knew the thoughts running~

...three moons above, there is no way he's going to have the patience for this. ...but the last thing he wants to do is draw attention to himself right now, so he'll have to try to keep himself calm and at least somewhat engaged, taking a breath and letting it out slowly. He shakes his head to~

// Home finally, lemme just eat my dinner and such for now. The Genetic Contributors may request my presence for a VR game in a little while but other than that, I shall try and get to replies soon

Ah. So he knows nothing. Rerir stares off somewhere over Cyno's head as he debates the worth of continuing this conversation now, tempted to just disappear. ...but he's curious, if not still a little suspicious. "I've played cards in the past but I don't know what a TCG is."

// I cannot be assed to list all my accounts one by one so here, have the premade list from my writer account: 😂 bsky.app/profile/did:...

A cold hand to combat the perpetually burning within his own body. Two opposites. Light and dark. ...it was annoying how complimentary they were to one another, but Rerir found the usual flames of his ire were more simple, smouldering embers than a raging fire. His gaze dropped to their hands~

He's not quite sure what emotion hearing his full name evoked, uncertain if it was merely because he hadn't heard it spoken by anyone in more than five hundred years or if it were because it was Flins-- Kyryll-- saying it. Rerir's gaze trailed down the ground as he thought things over quietly,~

// This song feels sadly fitting for Rerir as well, but rather than it being the usual about the parent speaking of protecting their child from the wolf, he is the wolf sent by King Irminsul... sadness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZEP...

// I feel like Rerir hasn't seen his own reflection since the Abyss changed him... does he even know what he looks like anymore I wonder 🤔

....suspicious. True, yes, nearly everyone and everything made Rerir suspicious of them and their intent, but this was particularly odd. What was in that box he'd held up like a weapon? What did he mean `duel`? Any manner of `duel` Rerir knew involved bloodshed... surely this pitiful thing didn't~

// Cyno: I have the wrong person Rerir:

// Hoyo may not have revealed Rerir's last name (or given him one), but I shall not allow for this injustice. He shall have it, even if he doesn't think he's allowed to use it anymore....

Surname. ...he'd honestly forgotten that he'd lost his own when King Irminsul took him, forced him to renounce his heritage and take only his given name with him under his care. ...did his father's spirit know of that dishonour? Rerir took a breath and let it out slowly, staring at Flins as he~

An identity... did he ever really have one of his own before? Back in Khaenri'ah, before he was taken in by Irminsul, he was just `one of the orphans`, then it was `one of the orphans the king took in`. After that, it was `the king's executioner` and from there it devolved into `monster`, then~

Well... at least he's looking at him now, staring at the box, then meeting the others gaze, a brow raised in silent, suspicious questioning. ...strange choice of weapon. "...what do you want?"

". . ." ...sorry, was he speaking to him? He'll have to try a little harder than that to get a rise out of him.

// I will give Rerir this; when he's actually calmer he has like... infinite patience and the ability to ignore almost anything thrown at him 😂 you are but a mosquito if you cannot get his attention

// They do be havin similar appearances... White hair, reddish eyes....

Rerir made a face, gesturing with his head as though to indicate he had thoughts on the matter but was either hesitant to speak or simply unsure of how to say it. "...the Abyss is... insidious." He starts carefully. "Long before I ever found myself in that room with the other Sinners, it taunted~
