[Another heavy sigh, somehow sounding even more dramatic than before.]

Man alive, I wish. That's a much longer trip than Watatsumi Island. The commission would never let me get away with it without good reason. At least if Aether invited me then no one would be able to say anything, being the Great Hero of Teyvat and all.

[threebetrayals]

Even the Fatui have vacation days, you know.

[book2thehead]

Unfortunately when you disappear as often as I do, people learn to stop giving you vacation days.

[threebetrayals]

And that's legal?

[book2thehead]

[He smirks a bit.]

Kujou likes making exceptions for me, specifically. Both good and bad.

[threebetrayals]

That's still illegal. You should protest.

[book2thehead]

[Heizou gives Wanderer an amused look, eyes practically sparkling.]

Awwww, are you upset on my behalf~?

[threebetrayals]

[He huffs.]

I just don't see why they should deny you vacation days just for being a problem. The Fatui gives them to Childe all the time.

[book2thehead]

[Cute. Heizou just chuckles.]

It's fine, really. I'm already in the middle of a lovely vacation right here~

[threebetrayals]

If you can consider this a vacation. I, personally, don't.

[book2thehead]

Well, I'm not really working, am I? It's a vacation to me in that sense. And I've gotten to meet so many wonderful people, too~

[threebetrayals]

But you don't have an souvenirs.

[book2thehead]

Oh? Does my ever-growing book collection not count~?

[threebetrayals]

Can you take them home with you?

[book2thehead]

[He seems to think about that for a moment, tapping a finger to his lips.]

Hmm... I can if I think of this world as being my new home~

[threebetrayals]

[Oh. Hm.]

Do you?

[book2thehead]

I think I might like to.

[He's not completely sure yet. But it's not like he has much to go back to, so...]

[threebetrayals]

...will you tell me why?

[Not "can I ask" since. Obviously he can ask. But he's curious, though he can't blame Heizou for not wanting to talk about that.]

[book2thehead]

[There's a moment's pause. And then Heizou's eyes flick over to meet Wanderer's, giving him a soft smile.]

If I leave, I won't have you around anymore. [Or Venti, though he doesn't say that out loud.]

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer, who had been taking a drink of his tea, chokes.]

I--you really like having me around for some reason, don't you?

[book2thehead]

[Heizou laughs a little at that reaction. Sorry, Wanderer.]

Is that bad?

[threebetrayals]

Concerning, maybe. I'm not a good person and I've been called acerbic. People don't like me.

[book2thehead]

People don't much like me, either. I'm still surprised you don't just physically kick me out of your space~

[threebetrayals]

I feel like if I tried, you'd just come back. You don't like taking "no" for an answer, after all.

[And honestly....Wanderer is used to Heizou now.]

[book2thehead]

I don't recall you ever actually trying, though!
