OH , HOW THE WANDERER’S DAYS have changed in the melody that threads them together , and how different the rhythm his feet walk to has become . Replacing solitude’s endless vigil is the equally endless energy of the Vastaya , leaves intermittently leaving the comfort of the tree branches in favor of accompanying the wind in its journey . A light chuckle breezes through Yasuo’s parted lips , joining the chilly evening air . “ I meant —— Ah , never mind . ” Explaining it would rob it of fun ; plus , he’s sure Rakan is well aware of the discreet punchline . He takes a small drink from his flask , ties it to his belt , and ( unbeknownst to Rakan ) imitates the Vastaya’s posture , resting the back of his head against joined hands . “ Sounds like the biggest danger for you at the moment was climbing the tree just now ! ”
YASUO SETTLES AGAINST THE TREE trunk , eyes closing briefly before they open once more . The pastels in the sky have begun to dim , giving way to the dark of night and the first peeking twinkles of the stars . “ But don’t you worry , Rakan , I’m not going to miss the rise of the moon … ” he continues , voice softening as the day’s exhaustion creeps up his throat . “ I never do at this point , really . Am I saying I don’t really sleep ? Weeeell … ” Another chuckle , this time encouraged by the influence of slight intoxication . “ Huh , maybe . At least not as often as I should . ”
ah, a farewell to that old routine of solitude, replaced by this new one. / in that distant past, he was the sole entertainer on this set stage, the eyes of the audience focused on naught but him, the beauty & grace of every natural feature, every natural move & its flow, embedded with an exhibited passion from his heart ( it is the melody that guides him ). in a forgotten yesterday, he was chosen, the only capable one of performing these beauteous dances that humans could not avert their gaze from. it is only miracle, fate, luck that now, each festival, there comes a new expectation : certain dance partner, a wanderer whose calling is the wind, appears & leaves just as swift. yasuo. only one who's managed to keep up with his every move, successfully impressing rakan, as both engaged in an impassioned dance that sung for those higher beings, very ones that granted them this gift. this is an art that others would not dare partake in, it's different having another to share this enthusiasm with. this is the new norm he's come to wholeheartedly accept.
❛ hey, that wasn't dangerous at all ! ❜ an abrupt motion, he rises ——— like the moon, its gleaming silver light & its comfort matches rakan's own demeanor, despite his eccentricism. never calm, too much energy that can't be contained. upon sitting up & turning his head ( meager attempt to get a view of yasuo ), though making sure he does not fall as consequence for action. perfect. ❛ i think your lack of sleep's a little more dangerous, yasuo. falling asleep here ... you're not meant to literally fall ! but, guess if you do, i could end up catching you. ❜ surely a jest, his own retort to yasuo's earlier one. its only fair a jubilant canary, granted gift of flight from this chilly wind, is there to rescue what grants him newfound freedom.
