❝ I Don't Usually Talk This Much, It Just Feels Easy To Say Stuff When You're Listening. ❞ \ Ororon

Sesame, who transcends time and space, is here to viciously and vigorously slap this new person into the depths of oblivion

❝ Woaaaaah there, lil guy. What's wrong? Hey now, it's alright. No need to throw those paws 'round here. ❞ 

The vet remains standing still, a hand on his hip, and he watches the feline swipe at him with ferocity and agitation. Ifa blinks his teal eyes, feeling no need to scold, correct, or stop the cat. He allows Sesame to get it out of his system before taking a knee and meeting Sesame on the same level. 

❝ Hmmm, I see. Gotta show ‘em you ain’t one to mess with, huh? Always gotta fend for yourself. That's alright. Here, I'm no bad guy, alright? ❞ Ifa offers a feline puree stick to Sesame. Cats love to lick those. 

❝ you have a nice smile, has anyone ever told you that before? ❞ \ clenches fist , ororon

It is late at night and Ifa was invited for dinner at Ororon's place. The two Natlan warriors are still seated at the table after the delicious meal was done and they idly chat, having coffee and cookies.

Ifa made himself comfortable prior to the meal, his white coat hanging on the back of the chair and he removed his gloves. His hat is flipped over on his lap and Cacucu has nested inside the cowboy hat, sleeping soundly with a tummy full of food. 

Ifa has an elbow on the table and rests his chin in his palm, his other hand gently and sweetly petting over Cacucu's feathery head as the qucusaur sleeps.

Cacucu almost never knocks out when visiting Ororon. Those two are always buzzing with energy and they genuinely enjoy each other's company, but the Tlalocan vet and his assistant had quite the busy day at the clinic and Ifa doesn't mind Cacucu snoozing away inside his hat. After the chaos of today, Cacucu deserves to rest. 

Ifa continues to listen to Ororon's stories and tales while petting Cacucu's head. A smile soon spreads over his bronze features in this peaceful and perfect moment. A soft and fond smile; a smile that is equally exhausted, but warm and full.

Cacucu has been with Ifa through the thick of it all, through hell and high water, and still he remains by Ifa. Cacucu is such a good and wonderful companion. Ifa feels so grateful, his heart swelling with love and … 

Ororon says something odd again and it pulls Ifa from his thoughts. 

❝ My what? ❞ Ifa blinks at Ororon. His smile? Did Ororon compliment his smile? 

Ifa chuckles nervously and feels the warmth in his heart rush to his cheeks. 

❝ Nah, I'd just … we had a long day and we're tired, dude. I should get going. I gotta get this little guy to bed anyhow. Th-thanks, though … for dinner! ❞

hands cacucu a machine gun

❝ Sorry bro, but I don't think those talons can hold that gun. I appreciate it though. We at the Flower-Feather Clan have tried to arm Qucusaurs before in the past, but they have their own natural ways to defend themselves so there's no need to give these dudes guns. ❞ 

“Seriously! Seriously!” Cacucu squawks out.

❝ Qucusaurs, like Cacucu here, are able to blast fire balls from their mouths. Cacucu, however, can only fire one every four hours or he'll have wicked heartburn. ❞ 

“Nut-uh! No way, bro! The heck are you on about?” 

❝ Sorry, he's a bit … touchy about that. ❞ 

It seems almost strange for Ifa to have a moment of repose. The trauma of the abyssal war still weighing down on The Tlalocan, the face of every injured saurians he's healed and lost still fresh in his mind. It feels wrong for the vet ( and fills his heart with guilt ) to sit at the edge of his clinic, feet dangling off the cliffside, and sharing the gorgeous sunset in the company of a friendly outlander. 

❝ Mondstadt?! Aw, dude, you're way far from home. ❞ Ifa stares into his cup of Xocoatl. He's brought one for Kaeya and a plate for cookies to share between them.  

❝ Land of freedom, right? Man, that's like the total opposite. Nation of war and competition here. What's it like, dude? Mondstadt? ❞

@ifadoc: you can stay here, if you don't want to go home. ( for kaeya; inbox call )

the warmth of natlan mixing with his own issues was making it hard for kaeya during his time in the nation of war. slumped outside of the vet's place, he looked up at him and sighed a bit as he shrugged a little bit.

"i don't want to be a burden, i know your nation's only just finished an abyssal war. i'm just a simple traveller here, but... it'll be a long walk back to mondstadt in this weather and time so.. i won't say no."

I love his nightsoul so much guys 💀

do you think the reason why Cacucu is bonding with Wrio because Wrio looks like Ifa (they quite literally have the same face/eye design that resting bish face )

3. What are your muse’s hands like? What is the texture of their palms, how are their fingers shaped, do they clean or cut their nails?

Details of a Muse

Ifa is always wearing his gloves, not just for infection prevention, but for his safety and the safety of his patients. His gloves sorta kinda look like falconry gloves which makes sense as saurians have talons and claws.

But, he’ll remove his gloves when he’s comfortable and done with the clinic’s work or pulling out the guitar for a song. His hands for the most part are well maintained and his nails well trimmed. They’re not entirely smooth and soft, he’s still a hard working, gunslinging cowboy and occasionally gets a few blisters and calluses.

He’s ambidextrous, left hand dominant, and you’ll find more blisters/calluses inside his palm there. 

Sesame is busy making biscuits on Cacucu

“Oh dear! Oh dear!” Cacucu is shaking like a leaf. This is it, this is how he goes. Wait for him ancestors in the Night Kingdom. What will he tell them? Eaten by the chubbiest cat? 

Ifa primarily practices veterinary medicine and studies zoology, but he does know triage care for humans. One might think these medicines have overlap in care and treatment, but the biology of different species are different from one another, let alone humans, and therefore Ifa cannot diagnose or treat humans because he hasn't study the biology. However, he does know triage care i.e emergency medicine and knows skills what a paramedic might know, like ABCs, (airway, breathing, circulation) and he knows how to keep someone from dying, to keep them stable enough for another physician to come in and properly treat and cure.

In his main verse, Ifa's magic can only heal dragonkind and magical creatures, but his magic cannot completely cure and treat major and critical illness, so he still needs to practice the medicine he's learned. Unfortunately, his magic cannot heal humanity, a clause of his magic from generations of magical veterinarians. The above headcanon fits here where he knows triage and emergency medicine.   

In his genpact verse, Ifa only treats saurians and deferred warriors of the clans to Chuychu, but when she passed, the clans were down a physician during a war and desperate times called for desperate measures. He learned triage and MASH care on the spot and treated saurians and Natlan warriors. After the war, Ifa changed the sign outside his clinic, stating he'll try his best in his care of saurians and humans alike. People who have dragon biology and or appear in a humanoid form with draconic features, like Ororon and Neuvillette, yes, Ifa can treat them beyond emergency care. 

In his hsr verse, it's hard to be a vet in space when every planet and star system has it's own ecology, biology, and species, so Ifa is a regular doctor. This headcanon doesn't apply in this verse.
