Blessed Beings

You kicked the door open, marched straight over to Thoma and dumped everything you had on him.

"Here."

"M'love?" Thoma's eyes widened bright and took a few blinks to process all the bottles, artifacts and spear piled up on his lap. "What's all this?"

" . . . Happy Birthday?" You gave him an exaggerated exhausted shrug.

Thoma lowered his eyebrows and slowly gazed up at you. You gave him a big smile that you hoped would distract him from the cuts, bruises and burns scattered all over your body.

It didn't.

Your boyfriend tilted his head at you and gave you a quizzing little look.

"Were you out hunting for artifacts again?"

"And . . ." You pointed down to the bottles on his lap. "I made a few wishes . . ."

Needless to say that was quite the understatement.

To earn that amount of wishes, you'd had to do some commissions. A LOT of commissions . . .

To the point where destroying Ruin Guards, battling hilichurls and interrupting Abyss Mage rituals had become almost its own little routine.

As kind as Kathryne was, you could only take her Adventurer's Guild greeting so many times a week.

If that alone didn't earn you the wishes, you'd be straight off to domains, some on the other side of Teyvat (thank the Archons for teleportation devices), picking even more fights with slimes and Whopperflowers- heck, you were even willing to take on Eremites as long as it would give you the precious artifacts you needed for your beloved boyfriend.

The only problem was, you were convinced that for some reason, the gods just loved to mess with you . . .

"Take this goblet for your Pyro friend . . . It will grant him extra Hydro damage . . ."

WHAT?

And then there was the ordeal of making the wishes themselves. It had given you all the more reason to believe that the gods, for reasons you would never understand, absolutely despised you.

You'd started making your wishes at the Statue of the Seven in Ritou . . .

You'd watched as blue comets soared through the sky, leaving you weapons that you would simply use to enhance a spear for Thoma (a spear you had worked hard mining iron and Amethyst to build and refine).

When you'd gotten the first glimpse of a purple comet, it had given you so much excitement. For a moment you had actually forgotten just how hard it was to get a Stella Fortuna for someone so specific . . .

"Still making wishes?"

Shinobu had twirled her Stella Fortuna almost teasingly at you- not actually drinking it because that would mean taking her mask off in public. At least she had offered you some help with future quests and commissions (when she wasn't busy keeping the Arataki Gang in check of course).
