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!

[threebetrayals]

Walking away usually works.

[He may have never had to actually like. try. and keep people away.]
