[ on the contrary, taair is in the Best Mood this morning. like. full on humming a song to himself, disney princess levels of best mood. he beams at mizu when he speaks up. ]
Isn't it wonderful? [ and trots on over to him... sunshine ] After everything, I'd almost forgotten - and that's just as wonderful, too.
[our sweet disney prince... meanwhile, mizu is absolutely reaping the consequences of last night's mistakes. but the mood is not at all bad in spite of this.]
Admittedly, I expected something to go wrong as it always does... But I am glad to have been proven wrong. It's a pleasant surprise.
There was a point last night where I thought to look at the time - and I can't explain how wonderful it felt to realize it was past eleven, and I could walk outside.
[ taair especially loves not being trapped. he watches mizu for a moment, expression very fond. ]
How are you feeling this morning, my friend? You can hold your liquor impressively well, but there was quite a bit flowing...
It was a relief. Leaving the tavern and realizing I could simply walk back to the mansion if I wished to do so.
[no more barriers. no locked doors. just the freedom to go anywhere, as long as you're quick enough to avoid the rain.]
... I'm fine. [hilariously, mizu is absolutely not a big drinker and should have actually stopped after never have i ever. taair doesn't need to know this...] A slight headache, but I've dealt with far worse. You seem well, though.
I felt precisely the same - no matter what awaits us with this judgement, I am glad we had a true night of peace.
[ taair says, warmly, propping his chin in his hand. as for the rest: ]
And - yes. You know, these sorts of celebrations have always been one of my very favorite parts of being here. So... to be able to have such a carefree evening with everyone else, being able to share stories and drink with all of you... it was wonderful.
Though, I did overindulge in the drinking part, certainly. [ a beat. ] So, I cured myself this morning.
I didn't think you would ask, so I thought I might just do it anyway.
[ hehe. he opens up his book, and goes through the whole magic shenanigans - the little knowledge scroll, the poof of wind from the pages, and the little blue bird made of light that flutters over mizu's head and then disappears.
[ he dips his head to the first part with a warm smile. of course. as for the rest.. ]
Haha... I can understand that.
[ thinks sweatily about his cyoa. yeah. being a cool sword wielding anyone is not for him, actually. curiosity flickers briefly across his face, and as he's tucking his book back into his holster, he looks thoughtful. ]
You've not told me much of your mission. Is it completed, or still in progress?
In progress. [easily enough.] There are four men who I am sworn to kill. One has already died by myself. Another was in my grasp at the time of my death, and will soon be dead if I am found worthy of a second chance.
... Yes. One of them is my father. [bitterly.] I do not know which one, but they are the only white men who could have gotten to my mother around the time I was born.
[taair saw Some Shit, so mizu doesn't mind adding some context to the whole situation. feels kind of like he's owed this much.]
But before you think me mad for deciding to kill all of them without the certainty of whether or not I share their blood, know that they're traders in opium, weapons and flesh. They all deserve to die.

[ yay magic healing! :D ]

That so? Lucky you. There are men who would kill to rid themselves of their hangovers with literal magic.
no subject
That wouldn't include you, would it...?

goodbye hangover! (debuff cures you) (debuff cures you) ]
How's that? Better?
no subject
... Fascinating. [first time getting healed with magic. whoa.] And much better. Thank you, Taair.
[a little smile, grateful. thinking that the visual aspect was kind of neat... but of course, mizu won't say that.]
If I had this sort of magic, my mission certainly would have been much easier.
