🐟He Xuan & Tartaglia's Wedding🐟

[ As one might expect, this is the event featuring the two's wedding! The location for said wedding has been stated, per the invitations, to be right on the wondrous beach, where the pleasant scent of sea salt and soft sand rests underneath one's feet. The 'when' is within daytime hours on the 28th of the month, when the sky hangs in luscious, vibrant colors of light blue, illuminated by the bright sun shining above.

It is easy to see the theme unfolding before one's very eyes:

Sea-creatures, emphasized on each table and other such furniture, as well as the craftsmanship of those things. Beautiful shells, starfish, other fish, and the like. Of course, there is also a certain theme to the color as well—a mystifying, yet wonderful set of blues amongst the cloths and fabrics that are enough to catch the attention of those who are in attendance.

To put it simply, the ceremony itself involves a traditional Chinese feel to it, though for obvious reasons, the intricacies can't be completely observed due to certain family not being present. So, for the most part, one can find it in the way both the married parties are dressed for the occasion, flowing red robes, with slight differences in the way vermilion and darker red is accentuated in the wear for both men.

Beyond that, it seems to have been decided that both would observe the usual expected other customs. ...Except for when He Xuan briefly picks Tartaglia up and spins him around right when the two reach where they're supposed to be standing, probably (definitely) making it an embarrassing moment.

Then, after the vows, as well as music is done playing, that is when the two of them share a kiss, symbolizing and writing into effect this union. Just, you know, it seems the two of them are also fond of doing embarrassing things to each other, what with the fact that Tartaglia moves to carry He Xuan back the whole way in his arms. The latter looks a little embarrassed, but there might be a slight smile when no one is looking... ]

[ Unsurprisingly, there's a bunch of food present. A shitton of desserts and then some traditional dinners from both worlds, and of course, including the lovely, pitch-black wedding cake: ]

As a note, people are free to mingle as they like, but the dress code is as follows:

Appropriately well-dressed; it's the big day, you know? ]

[irresponsibly]

To Tartaglia & He Xuan –

Congratulations on your marriage! I hope you two have a great life together, no matter where you end up going.

Tartaglia, you are truly such an interesting person! I sincerely thought you were a debt collector for the longest time, and somehow, your love of fishing caught me by surprise. But I'm glad we got to do that together, among other things! It's been a pleasure meeting you. Congratulations!

He Xuan, thank you for being such a wonderful roommate to Gaku. I still haven't heard anything about your portrait, but I hope you can get a new one sometime soon!

Congrats again!

Sincerely,
Lucia

[associative]

Dear He Xuan,

Congratulations! Who would have thought you'd end up here? Either way, I'm happy for you.

It was great getting to know you and I really didn't mind cooking all your meals either. It helped me become a much better cook, so I'm grateful for that in the end. Here's hoping that Tartaglia is as good as I am!

Dear Tartaglia,

I was worried when you said you'd go back to where you're meant to go, even if it was alone, so I'm glad that won't be the case. I'm really happy for you, and I think you've found your match here.

I hope you have happy years ahead, and that you don't mind cooking every single meal for He Xuan! Congratulations.

Sincerely,

Gaku Yaotome

Dear Tartaglia/Childe and He Xuan,

For the two people that encouraged me many times about my existence, thank you. I wish you two a very happy time together and lots of bonding over food. I'm sure He Xuan would have no problems eating them all. ;) Here's hoping Childe won't end up with sore arms over all the cooking!

Sincerely,
Ellis

[feralheart]

He Xuan,

Looks like the auction worked out for you. Congrats. Wherever you're going off to next sounds way better than what you left behind. But you better not forget to visit. I'll cook more next time if you do.

Tartaglia,

Whenever I run into you guys again, I'll get to know you properly. Congrats on getting someone who'll fight for you.

Mingling

[esurientabyss]

[ An appropriate top-level for mingling stuff and things. ]

[esurientabyss]

[ Following the climax of the ceremony, He Xuan doesn't make himself a difficult man to find—not that he'd manage to or wish to. After all, it is his and Tartaglia's wedding—a time wherein for once he doesn't feel all that bothered by being in a celebratory element. By all accounts, he's pretty happy.

Which, considering his life? Is a big thing for him. Now, he can be found hanging around right after the display of affection on both parties. So if he is approached, he'll turn to nod his head in acknowledgement.

...

Okay, some things don't change, including his lack of social graces, but that is a warm greeting by his standards. Especially since he seems pleased.

Next, he can soon be found by the food, enjoying the spread. If anyone comes near him this time around, he'll pause in what he's eating, just to say the following: ]

...It's good. You should have some.

[hypnowhip]

[If He Xuan is amenable to it, Sylvando's going to swoop in for a hug!]

Congratulations, darling! What a stunning ceremony!

[esurientabyss]

[ He'll definitely allow it! He Xuan has gotten more used to people doing this sort of thing where he's concerned thanks to this place, only letting out a small huff to act like he's bothered.

But, at the words, he can't hide how pleased he is. Is that a smile? Yes, yes it is. ]

...Your sentiments are appreciated.

[ Then, he'll also add: ]

It's good to see you here as well.

[hypnowhip]

[Yay~ He won't keep He Xuan there for too long, though. He pulls back with a bright smile of his own.]

I wouldn't miss your big day for the world. Thanks for having me, darling.

[And, of course, he can't go without mentioning a certain something. With an excited giggle,]

I always knew a smile suited you.

...food...

[cthulwho]

[Oh. Looks like the sweet that He Xuan was planning to reach for has suddenly gone missing. It doesn't take long to figure out where it went though, because a thin, pale hand reaches up from under the other side of the table to search for another.

There's also an unmistakably strange aura coming from this presence- that of something that dwells deep within the ocean's mysterious depths.]

[esurientabyss]

[ Wow?? Excuse...

He Xuan looks kind of annoyed, but it's fine. He'll just snatch up another, but he will curiously look at who just showed up (for the food.) ]

...You must be new.

[ He hasn't been keeping track of new arrivals for like, reasons. But the odd aura catches his attention, especially since he's a ghost king (of the sea.) He can sense these things. ]

Who are you?

[cthulwho]

[It's 99% for the food. In this instance, Lovecraft also appreciates the theme of the ceremony. Anywhere close to the ocean is a good choice.

He peers up when called out, tipping his head slightly out of curiosity. Seems as though he's taken notice of He Xuan's own vibes. Something about it almost puts him at ease, which is probably the opposite effect such vibes should have.]

...Lovecraft. I arrived at the beginning of winter.

[Definitely an eleventh hour arrival.]

I am here...for Steinbeck.

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori waves timidly at He Xuan when he has a moment, meeting his little nod with a smile. ]

Congratulations! What a wonderful ceremony! You two seem very happy together.

[esurientabyss]

[ Oh hey there. He Xuan certainly recognizes Ori for a variety of reasons, though at the expression of kind wishes and words, his expression turns briefly pleasant.

Maybe a bit bashful too, but it's all in a good way. ]

...We are. Your words are appreciated.

[ Though, he tilts his head curiously. ]

You and M-21—are you both planning on a ceremony as well?

[hearthwarming]

[ It's okay He Xuan, Ori knows she's one of like, three most-not-normal-looking humanoids here, right up there with the trees...

But, oh. She's not expecting the question, somehow, even knowing that he and M-21 are friends. ]

Oh, um. We... Already had one. It was just between the two of us.

[sluice]

[ Is he playing hooky during the afterparty? Kind of! Tartaglia's been wandering about the venue like a hooligan, up until he's sidling up to He Xuan. ]

You're in a good mood. Something nice happen?

[ As if he's oblivious? As if they didn't just get married a short while ago? Degenerate that he is, Tartaglia's ducked his head down to take a bite off of whatever utensil He Xuan's using. Fork, spoon, chopsticks? No difference. Licking his hips afterwards, he boldly extends his hand. ]

C'mon, let's dance.

[esurientabyss]

[ ...A huff of amusement escapes him at that. ]

I wonder.

[ His words are uttered softly, watching closely as he dares to eat right off of his fork, eyes lighting up. It's a sight so delightfully bold, like the one involving the extension of a hand to take—naturally, he has no intention of doing anything else but to firmly take the hand within his. ]

With someone so important to me as yourself? Always.

[ He Xuan will not mind leading them, recalling the steps he has learnt, and it will be something of a slow dance. ]

[sluice]

[ Slower than a waltz that minds the feet, then. His form is sweeping into languor with the cadence of the steps, his hand only loosely sprawled down one of He Xuan's upper forearms. All the while, Tartaglia's smiling in a vaguely unforgivable way, just with the curve his mouth takes on. ]

Special or not, treat me well anyways! Returning the favor is what I do best.

[ Reasons need not hold dominion where they're going, whether or not time has since passed in Teyvat. ]

May as well enjoy the moment. It might be the last reprieve either of us get. The Tsaritsa won't be pleased when she finds out why I've been playing hooky.

[alcazarzaray]

( As if Kaveh can resist checking out these other weddings to get an eyeful of everyone else's aesthetic tastes! Since he is one of the other Genshins who has no idea that Childe is Fatooey, he didn't bat an eyelid at the prospect of attending. Suffice to say, he's very impressed - the Chinese elements are reminiscent of Liyue and the service was beautifully sweet. Watching He Xuan pick Childe up and spin him was precious, too.

The local blonde idiot has found the alcohol, and is going to gush about the cake to anyone in an ear's reach. )

A black cake! Have you ever seen anything so daring at a wedding before?! ( He gestures with one arm. ) I think there's nothing more exciting than those who dare to imagine beyond the regular boundary! A white cake implies sweetness and a desire to follow the rules of tradition, however ... this black cake just amplifies the word "daring"! ( sorry that ur husband is such an embarrassment, Alhaitham )

[esurientabyss]

[ Oh hey, it's that guy who helped him out with baking.

Though, he also certainly remembers his name—Kaveh, that is. Despite the fact that he's rambling a little in probably a silly manner, He Xuan does take it as a compliment. Efforts on both parties have been put into this, so it's always a good thing to hear. ]

How impressed you are is duly noted. [ ... ] You should try some too. Can guarantee it will taste daringly good.

[ ...That sounded funnier in his head, but eh. ]

[alcazarzaray]

( There he is, yo! The guy who helped him bake scones! Shame they weren't crazy coloured ones! )

"Daringly good", you say? I like the sound of that! What flavour is it? Or should I be surprised?

( He should really go find his husband to have him try this super cool looking cake as well. )

[esurientabyss]

[ Somewhere out there in another universe, they manage more in variety of colors. ]

...I'll leave you in suspense.

[ It will definitely taste good! Even Alhaitham's taste buds may like it if he has a thing for sweets. Either way, He Xuan also won't stop Kaveh for taking an extra piece for later or something.

Also, spoilers:

The cake is half-vanilla, half-chocolate. ]

[sluice]

Now that you mention it... yeah, it's striking, isn't it! Oozes danger with the color. [ Hello there, Kaveh. Strange how you are the last of the genshins he hasn't met yet, given how amicably they could get along, but Childe's amending that little issue now as he sidles in. ] Well, even if it looks "sinful", I think you'll find it sweet. I can personally vouch for that.

[ As one of the grooms, he'd know that for a fact? Here he is, casually offering up a slice. ]

C'mon, let's share it.

[alcazarzaray]

( Ah, there's groom #2! )

Do you associate the colour black with danger? For me, I think it encompasses stoicness and mystery above all else. The "daring" part I mentioned is merely highlighted by the aesthetic decision to bend away from the classic white wedding cake for the polar-opposite colour. Which, in my opinion, was a great choice! It's bold!

( HE'S SUCH!! AN ARTY NERD!!!!!! But when Childe offers him to taste, Kaveh is happy to accept - brightening into a smile. Wow! That's an amazing sponge. )

Mmm! Gorgeous. If that's sinful, then I never want to be well-behaved ever again! Haha!
