Event Twenty-Five.
 | |
And see the bonnets blue, And hear the bluebells ringing loud, I wish I could -- don't you? | |
Welcome to Awash's Twenty-fifth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event! | |
t's another day, another month, and another time for people to show up in the well. You'd better go rescue them! Never mind the fact that you woke up with a flower in your hands.

Completely failing to notice where Shen Qingqiu's mind has gone (as well as his eyes), Saber continues cheerfully. ]
Yes, I may look like this, but I'm actually married! I suppose one might call the marriage annulled by now, but I think I'm officially past being a maiden.
[ They were the worst husband and wife ever, but technically that marriage happened. Even if very little else did. ]
1/2
[ He tilts his head slightly as he takes yet another bite of the apple. One side is now officially demolished!!
Munch, munch -- ]
no subject
3/3
Annulled! That's so sad!
no subject
Ah, it's okay! I think it was for the best.
[ ... Well, maybe not, considering how everything turned out. But it would've been a bad marriage even if it had held together... ]
Are you married, Shen Qingqiu?
no subject
[ I'm gonna nuke myself from space when I get my mind back. ]
Ah, no, no. I'm not married. I don't even really think about that, at all.
no subject
[ Impossible, but a nice thought... ]
Have you never even considered marriage? That's too bad. I imagine you would make an ideal husband.
no subject
[ He nudges her with his shoulder. ]
Me? No. I'm afraid I don't think so! But you would make a wonderful bride to your second husband.
no subject
[ Passionate love and kingship are incompatible, she thinks. She's fine standing alone on her kingly island.
And normally, she probably wouldn't bother correcting Shen Qingqiu's assumption (or even having this conversation), but today she answers automatically: ]
Ah, I was the husband of my marriage. If my life had proceeded normally, I would've needed to choose a second wife.
[ So death will probably be a blessing! Heaven forbid she condemn another poor woman to a loveless marriage. ]
no subject
[ His eyes actually seem to sparkle a little that he's run into someone else who is also not too romantic or understand it!
In his heart, Shen Qingqiu lets out a small sigh. He really finds this conversation just so pink-pink. What is this? We're now gossiping about love and romance without any love and romance being in it?! Come on!!!
But his eyes widen just a little at hearing that Blue Saber is the one that is the 'husband.' His smile softens a little as he nods. Taking another bite of apple, he gives her hand another squeeze! ]
I see. Then, you seem like you would make a wonderful husband. Even if the relationship didn't work out, even if you don't understand romance... you seem like you'd be wonderful. A husband is supposed to be a little cold and warmed up by their wives, right? That's the appeal, right?
[ .............I'm so sorry, Blue Saber. I'm so sorry!! ]
no subject
I'm sorry... I don't think that sounds appealing at all. A wife deserves to have a warm husband. My coldness was what made my wife unhappy in the end....
[ Artoria understands better than anyone why Guinevere evetually turned unfaithful. Thrust into a difficult position, burdened with a heavy secret, and chained to a "husband" who couldn't fulfill her dreams of marriage... It was a lot to ask of anyone, and Guinevere persevered for as long as she could. ]
If you ever should marry, Shen Qingqiu, I hope you'll treat your love with warmth and care. In a relationship, it's important for both parties to act honestly and considerately toward each other.
no subject
But like all his director commentary, his words go unheard. He instead merely smiles a little brighter at her despite the sad words. Those words need some comfort! Come on! Any girl would feel bad about ruining their own marriage by being a little cold! So!! Do something! ]
But at the beginning... she was quite happy, right? At the beginning, she loved you completely and you loved her. Those memories shouldn't be forgotten, either. [ Fluff and sparkles seem like they may shoot out his head. ] Mm! I'll keep that in mind if I ever should marry. But you, too.... you, too... keep in mind that you must have had some nice memories, too.
Don't forget them!
no subject
Well... The wedding ceremony was certainly wonderful, but after that...
[ Sigh. ]
It it's alright, I'd like to talk about something else.
no subject
[ Holy shit. I'm so sorry, Blue Saber, but at least he gets it and isn't going to keep digging a knife in! ]
Apples are really delicious, aren't they? [ He takes his half-eaten apple to reach out to lightly tap it against hers. Clink-clink. Why. ] What is your favorite fruit!
[ Well. This is better??? ]
no subject
I've never eaten a fruit I didn't like. But if I had to choose just one...
[ She hums thoughtfully and takes a delicate bite out of her apple. Once she's swallowed it, she perks as an answer occurs to her. ]
Oranges! I could hold fifty in my arms and even drop them, but they wouldn't bruise. In my homeland, most fruits were lamentably squishy, and diminutive besides. Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, plums, and so on... And while they were delicious, they pale in function next to a common orange.
[ She looks askance at Shen Qingiu. ]
What kind of fruits did your people prize?
no subject
Ah, that's right. They're pretty protected by their skin, aren't they? [ Shen Qingqiu claps his hands together. This is somewhat difficult because he has a half-eaten apple in one of them so he just ends up doing an odd half-clap. ]
Mmm! I see, I see! I would have thought you'd chosen something blue as your favorite. [ Why. ]
My people prize, huh? I like apples and royal pears... but I really like durian. [ Bitch, don't-- He tries to tell himself but he is already holding the side of his face as he thinks of fruit that he would like to eat. His hands are sticky from the apple and now he's just rubbing that stickiness over his cheeks. Great. ]
If you have the chance, please try one!
no subject
She reaches into a pocket with her free hand and produces a handkerchief! This she'll reach up with to try and pat at his face. ]
Durian! I've heard of it, but I've never had the chance to try it. It's famous for its stinkiness, isn't it?
[ That's all the Holy Grail wiki has supplied her under the durian entry: stank-ass fruit. ]
no subject
[ Shen Qingqiu allows his face to be cleaned as he feels he should press the fact that durians are good! All hail the durian! ]
They have a sweet flavor to them that you can't get from any other fruit. And since it has that smell to it... you get to have them all to yourself.
Where can you go wrong?
no subject
How devious! I didn't take you to be so cunning, Shen Qingqiu. If I ever come across a durian, I will certainly keep your strategy in mind. Though I'll still share with you, of course.
[ She didn't take him to be devious, but she doesn't know much about him to begin with... So with the breeziness of youth, she veers into a different topic. ]
What did you do back home?
no subject
That is a deal!
[ He reaches to take both of her hands. This is a promise between two people! If she finds any, she has to share them with him! The taste is something that he can't put into proper words and loves quite a bit! Smelly or not, it's still good, okay?! ]
Back home? Ah, well, I was a Peak Lord. Though, I can't say I did much... or rather, I haven't been doing much for the past few years.
no subject
[ He's full of dignity and kindness! His peak must be as noble as Chu Wanning's Life and Death Peak... ]
What was your peak like?
no subject
It was quiet. It was meant for scholarly pursuits more than battle.
[ A beautiful and quiet place that filled the soul with serene feelings!
For once, the Shen Qingqiu in his heart is happy to hear these words! This is exactly what he thought it should be said. Here he was worried, but he -- ]
I always found warm places in the sun to take naps.
[ Amazing. ]
no subject
[ She should probably be judging, but she currently thinks that a quiet land full of warm spots and napping men sounds extremely charming. As expected of a place headed by Shen Qingqiu... ]
It sounds like there are as many different Peaks as one could imagine. Perhaps there was even one dedicated to the culinary arts?
no subject
[ It's a shame that it's going to be burned to the ground!
The Shen Qingqiu in the heart of the airhead is unhappy! He also thinks that Qing Jing Peak was the most peaceful and beautiful of peaks to be in -- the bamboo forests and the lush green beauty warmed and soothed the soul like nothing else. But in a few years time, it is going to be burned down to the ground. ]
There are only twelve! [ He lightly taps his chin as he muses about there being one dedicated to culinary arts. ] No, no, nothing like that. But there is one dedicated to the fine art of making wine and other alcoholic beverages.
