[ it's a beautiful day in prisma and you're a horrible dragon god.
runyu has been listening to a great deal of gossip around town. perhaps gossip isn't the right word, but people are certainly talking. about a lady jiang, newly arrived, formerly betrothed to jin guangyao's brother, jin zixuan. now unattached. and with jin guangyao's mood at the wedding, with the clear envy and heartbreak in his eyes, surely there is only one reason for such grief.
it is the oldest story in the history of creation. brotherly jealousy, unrequited love. but the arrangement between lady jiang and the heir of lanling jin was broken once, and as such leaves room for possibility, for something to change in the stars.
he hears only tragedy lies in wait that way for the parties involved, both lady jiang and young master jin perishing not long after the birth of their infant son. this will be the better, more merciful thing.
so he arrives upon lady jiang's doorstep in a flash of blue light, smiling serenely as he calls out to announce his presence. ]
Lady Jiang? Terribly sorry to disturb you at your residence, but may we speak...?
❰ getting used to prismatica has taken up the majority of yanli's time thus far — she's tried to acquaint herself with at least the names of her family's friend if not the people themselves, tried to understand the moons, chroma, the strange technology — she's had a lot to do, and not a lot of time yet to do it in. she's at a disadvantage here, unaware of the customs and relationships between the various seats of power. there's much studying to do before she's ready to show her face in society, confident she won't shame yunmeng jiang.
which has meant, regretfully, that she's been cooped up in her lodging most of the time since she arrived, researching. it's what she's doing now, when there's a flash of blue light and a voice calling for her in a pleasant tone.
would that she had any concept of stranger danger, it might prevent her from opening the door immediately with a soft, inquisitive smile. ❱
It's no trouble. ❰ there's a slight hesitation as she struggles to tell if this is someone she should know, but after just a moment she drops into a greeting bow. ❱ I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making this young master's acquaintance — are you a friend of my family here?
In a manner of speaking. I am a friend of the Jins. [ He offers her a respectful bow in return, low for a god addressing a mortal but just about right for a young man trying to be polite to a lady. He considers asking to be invited in, sitting down with her, and taking the time to work up to the reason for his visit, but he worries to take the long way around may make him appear less trustworthy, may make his intentions read as manipulative rather than well-meaning.
Best to get right to it. So he takes a breath, bowing again apologetically. ] Forgive me for being indelicate, but it is my understanding... that you were formerly betrothed to Jin Zixuan? And that you are now unattached, mm, perhaps even... displaced here, in this realm?
