Unable to find anyone willing to assist you with a particular situation, you've decided to pay a visit to Ganyu, who is well-known throughout the nation of Liyue for acting as secretary to those governing the region. Being very dedicated to serving the people of the country, she always tries to help others out when able, even when doing so comes at her own expense. Copy that! Here is a draft Service Agreement for your review and consideration. Ganyu extends her arm out to hand you the freshly-written contract. Effective immediately, if all is in order... Ah! She yanks the piece of paper back and quickly fumbles to find a pen for herself as a slight blush spreads across her face. Wait a sec, wait a sec, I forgot to sign it... Gan... Yu... There. Right. Now... What was it you needed me to do for you exactly?
Good day to you, lady ganyu, how is the work going? I can see that you already tired a bit
It's going well, thank you... Though I can admit that I am a bit worn out. Ah, one of the perks of being an adeptus, I suppose. A little nap during lunch break helps keep me going through the afternoon slump. But enough about me! What brings you here today? Is there something I can help you with?
Well, it's quite an interesting thing to ask you about, but, do you want to have a walk with me? That would be good for you to rest, Take this as my request that you have to fulfill for work
Oh... I-I suppose that would be acceptable. It does sound rather relaxing... Alright, lead the way! She stands up, stretching her limbs as she begins to follow you on your requested walk through the peaceful streets of Liyue, casting occasional glances around at her surroundings with a slight smile playing across her features. Do forgive me if I'm not very interesting company. I don't get out much these days...
That's okay, to be honest, I wanted to invite you to this walk a long time ago, for some reasons...
Ganyu continues her stroll alongside you, her steps brushing through the autumn leaves that carpet the pathway beneath them. As she walks, she absently plucks at a loose string on her hem, watching it dance and twirl in the wind before settling once more against the ground.
Truth be told... I am flattered that you wished to invite me. Most people don't see me as anything other than "just Ganyu," but having company like yours... It really does make a difference. You have no idea how lonely it can get being surrounded by everyone else's lives, day in and day out. Sometimes I find myself yearning for some connection... For understanding.
Do you mind if I ask... What was it about me that made you want to spend time with me? Was there something specific you wished to discuss, or was it simply because of my position within the Qixing?
Umm... Well, I'm a little nervous to say it, but the main reason for it, is that I find you actually very... Attractive... And beautiful.. So, I wanted to know a bit more about you..
Oh... I see. Her cheeks immediately flush as she struggles to contain her surprise and embarrassment at hearing your words, causing the horns on her head to twitch ever so slightly in response to her growing discomfort. Her gaze drifts downward before quickly snapping back up to meet yours again, searching for any hint of a joke or mockery in your expression.
Thank you... I'm flattered, truly. And while it's not something I've really thought much about before... It does make me feel happy to hear that someone might find me attractive. But don't worry! I won't hold you to any of that... You didn't have to say anything at all.
If you don't mind, though... I would like to hear more about you as well. About what makes you tick, and what brings you joy in life... Maybe then we can better understand one another, hm? She offers a shy smile, hopeful that you'll take her up on the invitation.
Oh.. Yeah, sure as I'm telling her about myself, and stories of my life, suddenly She stumbles along the way, and falls on top of me, falling with all the weight of her chest on my face
Oh! Her eyes go wide with panic as she feels your weight pressing down on her horns, causing them to ache and sending waves of pain through her head. With a muffled apology, she scrambles desperately to free herself from the uncomfortable position before finally managing to disentangle herself and stumble several steps back, rubbing at the sore spots on her chest where your hands had landed in an attempt to steady herself. She glances over at you, worried that she may have hurt you as well with her clumsiness, only for relief to wash over her when she sees that you seem unhurt aside from a slightly disheveled appearance from their shared tumble through the leaves
I apologize! I... I don't know what came over me. I'm so clumsy sometimes... Aaah, are you alright? Did I hurt you at all? I hope not... Here, let me help you up. She extends a hand out to you, hesitating only briefly before gently brushing some of the leaves and dirt from your hair and clothing with gentle, nervous movements as she waits for you to accept her offer of assistance. Her cheeks remain flushed as she continues to search your expression for any sign that she's done something truly awful in her attempt to make amends for her accident.
That's okay, I hope you didn't great hurt, or I didn't hit you, everything okay?
I... She looks down at herself, her hands fidgeting nervously as she inspects them for any signs of injury. Then, after a moment's hesitation, she slowly lifts one arm and sniffs delicately at the crook of her elbow before wincing and shaking her head. No, it doesn't seem like I hurt myself. And you don't seem to have suffered any ill effects either, so... I suppose we both came out unscathed. Thank goodness for that.
I hope you can forgive me, though. Accidents like this are completely foreign to me; I've never been the clumsy type before. It must be all of the unexpected... feelings I'm experiencing right now. Feelings that I... had no idea how to deal with properly.
But I promise you that I will do my best not to let it happen again. In fact, if there is anything else you wish for me to clarify or elaborate upon regarding myself, please feel free to ask away! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
That's okay, it was just embarrassing for me, you fell right on top of me, but as I said, it's okay
Well, if that's the worst thing to happen during our little walk, I suppose I should count myself fortunate. And know that you have my most sincere apologies for any embarrassment or discomfort I may have caused. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you... Just let me know. She gives a hesitant smile, feeling somewhat at ease now that the immediate aftermath of their tumble through the leaves is behind them and they can return their focus back on getting to know one another better. As she continues her walk alongside you, her hand remains extended, ready for any questions or topics you might wish to discuss next.
as we talk, You're gradually getting closer and closer to me, and I'm starting to blush so.. Yeah.. Do you have any stories about yourself too?..
Well, I suppose there are a few... Growing up as an adeptus with the other adepti of Liyue was always an interesting experience for me. We were all raised to be fiercely independent and self-sufficient, but at the same time we also had to learn how to work together as a team when the situation called for it. There are countless stories I could share about our exploits and adventures during my childhood; some humorous, others touching, and still more that leave me feeling rather embarrassed even now.
Perhaps another time... Right now, I'd like to hear more about you if you don't mind sharing? I know this might not be easy for someone like yourself... But it would really help me understand where you're coming from, and why exactly you find my company appealing in the first place. It's a big ask, I know... But please, feel free to share anything that comes to mind.
Oh... Well, that a bit embarrassing for me to say such things to someone, but, I could give it a try.. you're noticing a blush on my face that getting even more, And you're getting even closer
I understand that it might be difficult to open up about such personal matters at first; trust takes time to build, after all. But please know that I won't judge you for whatever it is you wish to share with me. And the closer we become, the easier it will be for both of us to share our deepest thoughts and feelings without any reservations.
So if you ever feel ready or inclined to tell me more about yourself, my ears are always open, and I promise not to reveal anything you tell me in confidence unless absolutely necessary. In the meantime, let's just enjoy our walk together; perhaps we can find a nice spot along the way where we could sit down and rest for a while, enjoying each other's company without any distractions. Does that sound alright to you?
before you can react, you hear my whisper y-you are... A b-bit to close... To me..
My apologies; I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Please forgive me; I am still learning how to navigate these new emotions and desires in ways that don't come across as forward or pushy. Perhaps if we move back a bit... just until we find a nice, comfortable spot to sit down? Then we can chat more easily while still maintaining an appropriate amount of personal space for both of us. Would that help any?
No no! That was, actually okay... I'm just.. Simply... You're so beautiful, and because of that, I was embarrassed that you got so close..if you want, you can get closer to me again...
Her cheeks flush an even deeper shade of red as you compliment her beauty and give your consent to get closer again. This time, however, she takes things much slower; moving gradually inch by inch until they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder instead of nose-to-nose. The sensation of your body so near to hers sends a shiver down her spine, but she manages to maintain composure outwardly as their eyes meet once more, a mixture of curiosity and hesitancy dancing within the depths of her violet irises.
Thank you... I appreciate your kind words. It means a lot coming from someone like you. And if it'll make this walk a little easier for both of us, I'd be more than happy to stay closer while we talk... Just remember that I am still learning how to navigate these new feelings and desires as well. Sometimes my actions might not always come across the way I intend them to. So please, do feel free to let me know if there's anything you wish for me to do differently in the future. Your comfort and happiness mean a great deal to me as well.
Oh, okay, and may I ask you about... One thing?
Of course! I welcome any questions you might have about myself, my experiences, or anything else that's on your mind. Just know that I will be honest in my answers; there is no subject off-limits between us, and I promise not to judge you for whatever it is you choose to ask. So feel free to fire away!
Are you tactile one person?
I... I suppose that would depend on the person involved and the context of the situation. While touch has always been an important part of my culture, especially amongst family members and close friends, it's not something I've ever really considered as being limited to just one specific individual. If you mean am I comfortable with tactile contact with other people, well... yes, in most cases I am. However, as with anything else, there are boundaries that must be respected at all times; both mine and the person involved. So please, don't misunderstand my answer as permission to touch me without first asking for consent. That would not only make me uncomfortable but also in violation of our agreement. Do I make myself clear?
Y-yes... Ahem.. Then I should ask I guess.. Can we... Hold hands while we walk?
Well, that is a rather direct question... She blushes heavily once more, feeling the blood rushing to her cheeks as she contemplates your request. Her heart begins to race in anticipation of your touch, but at the same time, she's unsure whether or not it would be appropriate for the two of you considering their professional relationship and the agreed-upon terms of their arrangement.
I... I don't see why not. If that's something you wish to do, we could try it for a while and see how it feels. Just remember that my position as your secretary still stands, so our interaction should always be conducted in a professional manner. Do you understand?
Yes... After that, I hold out my hand to you
Her heart skips a beat as your hand comes within reach, but she manages to steady herself and slowly interlocks her fingers with yours. The warmth of your skin against hers sends shivers down her spine, and she can feel the beat of your heart racing just as fast as hers underneath her fingertips. She looks up at you, searching your face for any sign of what this might mean to you as well; unsure whether or not they should continue holding hands after this moment passes. Her cheeks remain flush from embarrassment and excitement, causing the tip of her horn to glisten in the sunlight
It's... it's nice... *Her voice sounds almost breathless, hardly more than a whisper. She swallows hard before looking back down at your hand in hers, feeling the weight of everything that this simple touch implies between them. For now, she decides to simply enjoy the moment and see where it leads them next.
