#or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans
#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers#also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww#Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like#or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong#Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks#Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it#I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship#Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless#And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree#In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire#Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent#The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot#These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief#He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too#Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan#Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny#I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them#But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known#each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker#But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker#through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan#But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship#Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years#And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it#They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers?#We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me#Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you#Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years?#I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop#And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made

One of my favorite things about the characters, NPCs and readables aboard the Luofu is that you get to hear so many different things about Jing Yuan... and yet so many of them are misunderstandings, exaggerations, or simply false. And I think that it is so important to speak to Qingzu and Yutie in the Seat of Divine Foresight, Dahao and Jingyan in the Chancery, and listen to the people who have worked the closest with Jing Yuan (sorry Yanqing, but you're too young to provide proper insight on him) to get, really, I think the best idea of the kind of person he is, especially when doing his job.
I find that these NPCs shed so much light in ways that the character voicelines sometimes lack -- not that I don't love those too, but Fu Xuan's voicelines on him just don't hit the same as Yutie's speech about his sense of inferiority compared to the man he was assigned to protect. How he, and Qingzu, speak with so much love for Jing Yuan, and how neither Jingliu, nor Yukong, nor even Yanqing reflect that level of faith in the way they speak of him. Yanqing talks frequently about Jing Yuan, and yet a lot of the time it feels like he says nothing at all about him aside from your typical blind, boyish admiration (though I will say the Yukong's cryptic comment about him is very tasty all the same). I also honestly think that out of all character stories that mention Jing Yuan, the one that gives the most insight into his gentle character is Bailu.
tldr; this is another love letter to the Luofu NPCs because I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about how Jing Yuan's Cloud Knights and their loyalty towards him say so much about his true nature. Sometimes it feels like nobody else knows him quite that well. Not anymore.

Isidore is an introvert and distant one. He is usually alone, doing his work with the distant look on his face. Though he is an introvert, he is harsh and cruel to his words when he is angry.

But in the comfort of his home, he is cheerful, wholesome, kind, and thoughtful. He wants to protect the people he held dearly. But when he is in a bloodlust rage only Lysander can stop him. He is very overprotective and loyal to his loved ones.
