Half-lidded eyes open the rest of the way again, paintbrush coming to a stop from where it's been dragged across Albedo's canvas over and over again. "Please keep talking. I love the sound of your voice." he's been listening the entire time to Kaeya's stories of his recent adventures despite looking like his focus may have been entirely on his painting. If anything, he's been paying more attention to his friend than his artistic endeavour.

((askfjsd i'M CRYING ALBEDO IS SO SWEET ;o; thank you so much for this!! Kaeya is both flattered and #shook asdfjldj))

Kaeya had never had any talent for the arts. It required a level of self-exploration that he wasn't brave enough to attempt; reaching deep into oneself, grasping what was buried within and pulling it from your chest so it could be displayed for the world to see.

Hardly a pursuit for Mondstadt's resident traitor fraud. But that didn't stop him from admiring those who did have such talents.

He'd been weaving a tale of the latest scuffle he'd broken up in the city for the last half hour, unbothered by his audience all but ignoring him in favor of a brush on canvas. Ironically, the only reason he'd stopped talking was to watch Albedo's artistic prowess at work. But it was just as well. Such an earnest sentiment from someone who wouldn't say such things lightly would have stunned him into silence anyway.

Always quick to bounce back, Kaeya only balked for half a second before a grin replaced any visible shock. "Oh really? And here I thought you only kept me around for my pretty face," he couldn't help but tease; an instinctual deflection of sincerity that he didn't know how to handle.

But another moment passed, and slowly, his expression softened until the gentle curve of his smile held a hint of that same earnestness.

"I wouldn't want to distract you from a masterpiece in progress, but...if you insist." A finger tapped to his chin as he considered what to share next. "I had a rather exciting time on my latest patrol through Stormterror's Lair. The terrain there is highly unstable; I nearly ended up stranded, had it not been for some quick thinking—"

And thus he launched into another story, content to chat and watch Albedo's art come alive.
