Ah.

[He almost huffs a laugh. yes--he knows someone like that. Doesn't solve his current problem, though, so let's put that thought aside.]

Then I take it you have no ready explanation for returning me where she found me?
abductive_reasoning: (A point where)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I...cannot say that I am, no.

[His tone is even, but he expects that the level of sheer "WHAT THE FUCK IS A SPACE ANCHOR" is clearly conveyed by that pause.

because, dan heng. what the fuck is a space anchor????]

The Nation of Sumeru...

[A pause. Ah. No, he means in broader terms, doesn't he? That's wild. Now he's becoming curious. But this seems like the kind of knowledge that drives people to insanity like trying to make gods...hm. Now what to do with this?

Oh, right, expand the answer as necessary first.]


Teyvat.
abductive_reasoning: (Answer me)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
What.

[That came out extremely flat because. What? What?

He is fixated on staring out the glass, though. This is...

Oh he does not have words for this. Is he supposed to know it? Will this become a contagion, like the one that damaged Irminsul? THAT WORKED OUT SO FUCKING WELL FOR KING DESHRET DIDN'T IT???? FUCK!

On the other hand...if this isn't going to drive him insane and accidentally doom Teyvat...

...

The view is stunning.]

The...rabbit creature? We have met.

[...And he's alive???]
abductive_reasoning: (Of your life?)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[...Just gonna stare blandly at Dan Heng.

Yeah. Yeah Pom Pom definitely cried.]
abductive_reasoning: (I've lost my way)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's troublesome. I am meant to be at home right now.

[Kind of idly digging at his pockets and--

Dammit, yep, that's Kaveh's key.

He is going to be yelled at for two hours straight. He can feel it.]
abductive_reasoning: (The day breaks)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
For a vehicle of this size, the desert would be fine--

[Sigh. No, he can't be certain of that. Dammit. Ugh. What could--

...wait a minute.]


...No, actually, there might be a simpler way...

[In this, Alhaitham would feel a true and deep kinship with Pom Pom.

But he's rummaging a bit until he finds--the invitation the Traveler gave him to their teapot realm.]


This may...get me somewhere with boundless space, and a great deal closer. An Adepti's realm.

[Do what now?]
abductive_reasoning: (Tell me in 10 words or)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waves at mei in the distance.

Alhaitham glances upward. That tension...? That is not the tension of someone seeing something unfamiliar. Interesting. Is this one an adeptus? Reports from Liyuen scholars and durstur indicate you could be speaking to one and you'd never know. Interesting, but not something he'd expected to test himself. He wasn't interested in leaving Sumeru.

This, though...might be an opportunity.]


It is an invitation, isn't it?

[The adepti don't explain their magic, and it's best not to think too hard about the physics involved. Some questions don't have answers.

But also, this is about seeing if this man gets riled up by a bad response.]
abductive_reasoning: (With a communication)

[personal profile] abductive_reasoning 2023-08-04 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Just one thing.

[It had been a pretty simple explanation. Flip open the envelope, press your finger down on Tubby's little stamp, say something to indicate you're on the way--Al-haitham mostly just mutters along the lines of "On my way", no need to complicate this--and the magic takes.

And if this man here happens to be standing too close and gets counted as a second guest, that's not Al-Haitham's problem, is it? Even if he knew exactly how close to be standing for it to count like that, having tested this on Kaveh. It certainly wasn't an act of small, extremely petty revenge, okay? Don't be ridiculous.]
