There is no good way to do this, but I am going to ask that Pyra not read the rest of this message. That is to say, Pyra, if you are reading this, stop.

[ Ah. He's feeling a little bad like Pyra would say that worrying about what he's worrying about isn't as important as helping the town along, but! He's decided! ]

I am Shen Qingqiu. With the forest causing trouble and the town still needing some repairs, why don't we take a few hours to enjoy ourselves? Why don't we make some nice memories with someone we care for?

What this humble one means is that the timing may not be good, but would you be willing to have a celebration of her birth? Shall we say a few days from now? [ What a roundabout way to ask if people want to celebrate Pyra's birthday! But well!! He definitely stands by what he says about thinking it's good to enjoy oneself with friends. They've all been working hard, and worrying, and doing their best. Pyra would also like her birthday to be one where people are smiling and happy. So! Why not? ]

Everyone is allowed to come, of course. She is someone who would want everyone to be able to be part of it. I also would like everyone to be part of it, because birthdays away from one's world should be filled with as many warm feelings and memories as possible, right?

There is a bit of a misunderstanding.

I apologize for it.

[ >:T!!!! ]

[ After inadvertently cucking Mordred, he can only feel relieved that he’d cleared things up with Qingqiu!! Not that that’s gonna stop him from flirting with Pyra though ]

It matters not.
But you are evidently more experienced in these matters than I, so I will be in your care.

[shizun]

I have never been in love myself.
But I know all about being in love.

[ .............. lame. ]

Anyway, have you thought of what we should play? Naturally, I'll follow your lead. You are the musician here. [ I JUST DABBLE FOR FUN ]

[noholdsbard]

[ But how could he know all about love without being in love— ]

I thought of playing some songs in honor of her beauty and gentleness to start with. [ You can’t hear him but he’s totally sighing dreamily over said beauty and gentleness. ]
But perhaps there is some aspect of her that you find particularly inspiring as well.

[shizun]

Her strength is amazing. That is, her strength of will and determination to help others. It causes worry sometimes, but it is also something that I admire a lot.

And the hope she has in people. These things are truly wonderful, right?

[noholdsbard]

Yes, she is truly inspiring in every way.
To think that she can even do as much for you…

[ He knows he hadn’t been able to successfully make Qingqiu feel better during the heart event. So way to go, Pyra! ]

Even that alone is worth celebrating.

[shizun]

[ Archer. Hold on? Why the fuck is me being inspired really worth celebrating? I don't??? ]

Right? She has touched a lot of people and so it is only right go return those feelings tenfold.

[noholdsbard]

Then we have no time to lose.
I would like to hear your opinions on a few compositions of mine.

[ Guess who was already coming up with songs about her even before all this. The thirst is real. ]

And we must certainly begin practicing at your earliest convenience, that we might make a proper show of it on the appointed day.

[ Also weh quality time with Peak Dad ]

[shizun]

Of course, I would love to hear them.

[ Archer's enthusiasm is so much fun. ]

And how about [ Such-and-such time, which is after meeting with Lan Wangji, but probably before meeting with "Saber". ]

[noholdsbard]

[ Enjoy it while it lasts, bud. ]

That is acceptable. I will see you then.
