Cursed with immortality. It didn’t bother her at first. Despite the years passing by like the wind she stayed in her young woman appearance. The only thing she hated about it was watching the people go along with the wind.

She didn’t care, thats what she showed. Nagging and strict. But she did care…more than she liked, and it hurt.

Thats why she chooses to never grow close to anyone, to shut herself out from others unless her help as a priestess was really needed. Even if it was lonely, she still had her romance light novels to keep her entertained…even if it sorta backfired, making her wonder if she’ll ever have a chance of meeting someone special. She shouldn’t dream of it— let alone think of it…even the brightest flame of love would wane at the mercy of time. Until she met you…

It was purely by chance. Leaving her hermit like abode for business. She’s seen you before…200 hundred years ago, how were you still alive? And how did you still look so young? Was she seeing things? She checked your prediction and…it spanned forever…like hers. She pretended to not care too much, but she was thrilled, thrilled that she wasn’t the only one going through this, that someone other than Mavuika wasn’t going to disappear eventually. She tolerated you, an achievement others would call it.

You were the reason she got out more, random errands and excuses to be in your presence. She didn’t have to hold back her feelings…so she fell quickly and drowned in love. Soon enough you did too, it was logical for you two to be together, you’d never have to worry about the other dying. But that’s not the only way to leave someone…

You two argued a lot. Like a married couple. It was endearing at first. Her stern, short tempered personality. Some arguments were serious…but you still loved each other, to death if either of you could. So by a mutual agreement, you give each other space. No, neither of you are seeing other people…just cooling off from the heat. So you’d leave Natlan to travel the rest of Teyvat, while Cilatli would stay in her home.

Since you’ve both easily lived over 100 years, 1 year feels like just a month, so ten years could feel like 10 months. You were both desensitized to the winds of time, therefore, your leavings lasted an average of at least 5 years. Sometimes 10, other times even more.

For anyone else that’d be a massive issue, but this is something only you two could keep loving each other through. Even if you argue a lot…she knows you’ll return, and you know she’ll be under her blankets reading a romance light novel at home…waiting.

Then…for the first time, 100 years went by. 100 years apart. It was almost as if the both you broke up. Thats far from the truth. Currently, the abyss was invading Natlan, a war was raging. The abyss has only been growing stronger…old tactics aren’t working…and the numbers were overwhelming. That was when you swooped in and turned the tides of battle easily…

The way the moonlight perfectly framed you and the use of your own vision as you stood on a toppling Lawachurl. Lots of time passed, but that didn’t mean she fell out of love, every time she sees you again she falls in love all over again at first sight. Like always, you both still looked the same.

“Show off…”

She muttered, but she couldn’t turn her eyes away. The rest of the Natlanians cheered and celebrated triumphantly, it was over…for now. She crossed her arms and finally turned away, already feeling huffy. When you cautiously approached her you couldn’t tell if she was happy or angry…

“Youve got some nerve to-…”

She started by turning to you and jabbing a finger to your collarbone, but she accidentally cut herself off once she saw your face up close. She internally melted and externally scowled.

“Listen you…50 years I can do…but 100 is absurd. What were you even doing away with all that time?! Go on! Tell me all about it!”

She explained in her usual stern tone before her arm linked with yours, dragging you towards home. ‘Our home.’

“Its loud and crowded here, cmon. And you’re in big trouble!”
