The corner of her lips turned upwards into a coy smile as she glanced up at Luocha. She suspected he would like the idea.

❝How did I know, hmm? I'm a mind-reader. It'll be my treat~❞

She was the former Head Representative of the Whistling Flames, after all. Not only did Fugue have a natural gift for connecting with others, but also understanding their hidden feelings.

If he ever needs a listening ear, she'll be there for him.

❝Unfortunately, it's a secret. Some things are >

𝐋𝐔𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐀 @foreigntrxder.bsky.social · Sep 8

As expected from Tingyun, she's truly perceptive. But he wouldn't want to ruin the mood of the occasion.

"Then it's a good thing I accepted. Although now I'm curious about the methods you would have used." >

Despite his calm demeanour, the foxian could sense his inner turmoil. Although she didn't know the reason, she assumed it had something to do with his birthday.

Birthdays aren't exactly the best memory Luocha has. In the past they were filled with emptiness. Nothing was sincere.

But Tingyun made him snap from his thoughts.

"I'm surprised you knew of my birthday. I can't refuse if you ask if like that." >

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Sep 7

Perching on the arm of the couch, Tingyun crossed her legs, one over the other. @foreigntrxder.bsky.social seemed preoccupied...

With a flick of her wrist, the Amicassador used her closed fan to lift his chin.

❝Mr Luocha, I believe it's your birthday today. Although my memories of our time >

Her eyes widened, startled by the unexpected voice on the other side of the door. Mr Sunday... Although their rooms were close to each other, she had hoped that he wouldn't come back and notice her.

❝I-I'm perfectly fine, Mr Sunday... Thank you... for your concern...❞

Despite her reassuring >

Sunday was passing by the corridor, heading to the main car. But his wings fluttered, sensing something. He clearly heard something coming from Tingyun's room.

Or at least... there was something off. Call it a sixth sense. >

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Aug 17

Still in her temporary room on the Express, Tingyun put her hand on the door handle. All she had to do was pull, and she'd be on her way, but things don't always go as planned.

The Amicassador leaned against the door and clutched her hands to her chest, an excruciating pain overwhelming her. >

Bedtime tail care is a must~

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Jul 25

If anything, the foxian should be the one to apologise for the hostility. Moze hasn't done anything wrong, yet her tails considered him a threat.

❝You sound a bit unsure... Not only that, but you also keep glancing at my tails. Is something wrong with them?❞

𝐌𝐎𝐙𝐄. @shadowguard.bsky.social · Apr 25

Moze noticed, and blamed himself for it. Since it wasn't his intention to cause such reaction.

"Uh... No, I was just... passing by, yes."

Yet his eyes can't stop looking at her tails from time to time. They just look so fluffy and soft. It's a weakness.

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Apr 19

As if on high alert, her tails fanned out behind her. It was something she couldn't control.

❝I appreciate the apology... Can I help you?❞

❝Don't be silly, Mr Sunday. It'd be incredibly impolite not to prepare anything.

It truly wasn't my intention with the gift, but I'd like to continue to have a fruitful relationship with you.❞

After hearing his response, a smile gracefully adorned her features. It seems like she chose wisely.

𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘. @apxstleoforder.bsky.social · Apr 20

"It is indeed my birthday, but you didn't have to prepare anything for me.

I was glad of being able to help."

Sunday took the gift and opened it. He stared at it in awe, appreciating its content.

"This is so beautiful. I will give it a good use."

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Apr 19

She's not the only one. They've both faced hardships. As of right now, the foxian is taking each day as it comes.

❝I heard it's your birthday today, so I've prepared a little gift~ I hope its to your liking.

I truly appreciate everything you did for me on Penacony, Mr Sunday.❞

𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘. @apxstleoforder.bsky.social · Apr 20

There is nothing to forgive, Miss Tingyun, for you did nothing wrong. I don't mind if they told you about me, it's only natural.

But in that you are right. I cannot return to the place I once called my home... or see my loved ones again.

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Apr 19

I hope you'll forgive me, but the Astral Express members told me a little about you.

Though we have different reasons, we can't return to once familiar places. We no longer have a home, or at least we can't visit it.

It was easy for him to say... Tingyun felt as though a fire was consuming her from the inside, threatening to tear apart her very existence. How could she continue like this? She's like a blank slate.

... Yet she could see the concern in his expression, the flicker of worry in his eyes. >

All the former Amicassador could do was stare at Luocha. Bewilderment was reflected in her eyes, utterly confused by the situation.

The merchant's voice sounded muffled through the glass, so she tried to focus on the movement of his lips, hoping to piece together his words.

𝐋𝐔𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐀 @foreigntrxder.bsky.social · Apr 20

Luocha had been told of Tingyun's progress—or lack of it. She didn't even remember her name, let alone anything else.

He approached the glass, resting a palm against it.

"Don't give up. Keep pushing forward. Keep living." >

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Apr 19

The last thing she remembered was being lifted from the ground. Despite the situation, she felt safe.

A few weeks later, Tingyun finally opened her eyes. The brightness of the light hurt her, but it wasn't as painful as the destruction within her.

Who is she? Where is she from? The Amicassador >

Her past self must have been something special to make him feel that way. She will do her utmost to live up >

𝐋𝐔𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐀 @foreigntrxder.bsky.social · Apr 20

"It is, right? While I understand it can be disappointing to miss out on certain memories, we can always create new ones.

We have to go on, no? And not lament past things."

How could he not? Tingyun is an amazing person. >

Tɪɴɢʏᴜɴ @auspiciousfoxian.bsky.social · Apr 19

❝Thank you, Mr Luocha. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Your point of view is quite interesting.

I have to admit, it's a bit disappointing to miss out on those memories, but I shall do my best to work on those feelings.❞

Despite everything, Luocha still wished to create new memories with her? >

During the course of their journey, Tingyun had gotten to know @apxstleoforder.bsky.social better. It was an opportunity to bond.

They were more similar than expected. Though their reasons are different, they're unable to return to their respective homes. He must be homesick on his birthday...
