A club (also known as a cudgel, baton, bludgeon, truncheon, cosh, nightstick, or impact weapon) is among the simplest of all weapons: a short staff or stick, usually made of wood, wielded as a weapon since prehistoric times. There are several examples of blunt-force trauma caused by clubs in the past, including at the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, described as the scene of a prehistoric conflict between bands of hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago. In popular culture, clubs are associated with primitive cultures, especially cavemen.
Viox raced through the streets as she headed straight for the Knights Headquarters. She needed to talk to her sister immediately. Her heels cracked against the cobblestone streets as she dashed past Albedo and Klee who were walking to the headquarters themselves
"Viox?"
"Big Sister Viox?!"
Viox stopped for a second, "No time to talk, have to talk to Violet! See you both at dinner!" She called out before running again.
Albedo looked down at Klee, "Did something happen?"
Klee shrugged, "I'm not sure Big Brother…"
The siblings turned back to where Viox had disappeared behind the tall walls of the stoney steps. Perhaps something happened that Viox needed to talk to Violet that happened with the Winery.
Violet was looking over a few reports as she walked with her right hand man, Jules, a young woman with wavy brown hair with bright green eyes. Normally the woman had her hair up in a high pony, but today she wore it down.
"Did you happen to see if Alex wanted to-"
Before the other could even finish her sentence, Violet's arm was hooked as she was dragged off.
"I'll bring her back later, Jules!" Viox called out
Leaving a very lost and confused Jules behind to pick up all the papers that had been dropped by Violet.
"Viox?! When did you get home?!" Violet called out as she stumbled a bit to keep up with her twin sister.
Viox chuckled, "Just this afternoon! We need to talk though!" She called back as they made their way to Viox's home.
Once inside the women were panting to catch their breath.
"So I'm home. Liyue was great, and met up with Rei and her husband to be, his name is Zhongli, super tall guy, really cute, quiet, definitely her type! Anyways Albedo and I are friends and we had a great time at Lantern Rite. Anyways I wanted to talk about this thing about Kaeya and how I might not have feelings for him anymore but im not sure anyways hewantstoaskmetoWindblumebutAlbedohasalreadyaskedmetogowithhim-"
"Viox! Viox, sister please slow down!" Violet chuckled softly, watching her sister pace as she rambled
Viox froze in her moments, taking a deep breath, she let herself relax, "Thank you."
Violet nodded as the two took a seat on Viox's sofa.
"Now start at the beginning, What about not liking Kaeya?" Violet asked, looking at her twin.
Viox sighed, "It's more like, I don't think I have a crush on him anymore. Like my feelings have changed? I'm not sure because I still have the heart flutters when I'm near him and when he teases me, but it's not the same?"
"How so? I mean feelings do change when you're away, but sometimes they can grow too. You've liked Kaeya for years, maybe now it's love and you just don't know it yet?" Violet said with a shrugged
Viox took a moment, "I think that makes sense? I'm not sure."
"Listen this happens all the time to Diluc and I, you know when I go out on some longer tasks? Diluc and I are always a little nervous when I come back. Maybe it's that?" Violet stated
"Now see, that sounds more like this odd feeling, but what about this thing with asking me to Windblume that I heard from Diluc?" Viox asked
"Oh that? About a month after you had gone, Kaeya had made a few comments about how he wasn't going to Windblume this year because it's way too busy and he didn't even have a date either. So I suggested he brought you as a date. He was a little tipsy, but then he came to work the next day mumbling under his breath about planning on asking you to Windblume. I think this will be your chance to tell him about your feelings." Violet explained
Viox raked her hands through her hair, "I'm going to go with Albedo and Klee! They had asked me already, and I agreed to go!"
"Oh see now that's a problem. You're gonna have to split that up, it is for a whole week, maybe just do the first couple of days with Albedo and Klee and then the last few days with Kaeya? It works on the last day when the boats go to the lake, so it'll be a really romantic setting." Violet suggested gently
"I guess. I don't know, maybe I need to think about confessing, besides what if he already knows?" Viox replied back bitterly
"You never know unless you try." Violet smiled warmly, "Now come on, tell me about Liyue!"
Viox chuckled, "Well Rei is planning on her wedding being the next Lantern Rite. Her whole theme is super cute, their calling it, 'Shine Like Gold in Memories' which is something the two joke about. So whites, golds, browns, it's all so beautiful. I will say that if I get married, I want the theme to be 'Night Sky' because of the navy blues and golds."
"And not because of Kaeya?"
"Why would Kaeya be the theme for my wedding?"
"His whole outfit and hair is your theme, let's be honest here."
"Oh, I was thinking about the blues from Albedo's clothes. He has a really pretty navy blue on his jacket."
Violet paused before bumping knees with Viox, "Since when have you and Knight Albedo been so close?"
"Oh we're not? We're just friends." Viox replied gently as she bumped knees back
Violet rose a brow. Now it was starting to make sense why Viox was having trouble in the world of feelings. Although her sister couldn't see it yet, it was pretty clear that Viox had fallen for the Alchemist, though by how much it wasn't known. As Viox rambled on about her trip in Liyue, Violet kept count on how many times the other had brought up something that happened between her and the Alchemist. A soft smile was on Viox's face as she talked about how sweet Klee was and how Albedo had gotten her the bracelet that dangled on her wrist. Violet smirked a little, although hid it with ease. How long would it take her sister to realize?
