[ Please hold. He has never got a message on his phone so he nearly drops it when it beeps at him.
"Glaze Lily is typing" flickers on and off many times (with random interval of silence in between) on Childe's screen before a reply actually comes through: ]
cocogoat: I am certain you've already heard the news, however, I wanted to personally thank you for your support during this time. cocogoat: My safety is assured, but-- there's only a short period of time before I have to leave. cocogoat: So I wanted to be sure I said my goodbyes before it was too late. cocogoat: If there's anything I can do for you before I go, please don't hesitate to ask. cocogoat: I've already left my points to someone for safekeeping, however-- I would feel better if you allowed me to leave some medicine with you at least.
Glaze Lily: Yes. I am relieved that you were able to claim victory in these unusual contest. Glaze Lily: May the Seven see your safe return. Glaze Lily: Might we go for a walk? Glaze Lily: I have something I would like to gift to you as well.
[ Aether is long gone by this time, but this morning Zhongli will find a large decorated box at the foot of his dorm room door. Instead, there are two more boxes, one large one containing an elaborate tea set. the other box is smaller and narrow. Opening it presents a replica of the back...butt? tail chain ... Belt ...thing Zhongli wore with his suit in Liyue. A note is folded neatly in this box, as well. ]
note:
Following you around here made me notice that you were missing this from your attire. It's something that I have come to associate with you in Teyvat, just like Childe with his gloves. I hope it can serve as a nice desk piece or other decorative ornament if it falls outside of your Unit uniform requirements.
This tea set will serve you well, I hope, also, even if only ending up as a decoration. It's the best I could manage to represent Liyue when tring to imagine something like that.
I will be back, it's a promise! Thanks for always being there for me. It's time I make sure to do the same for you.
- Aether
[ Aether got professional assistance in making the tea pot itself (pretend it looks way more like Zhongli's dragon form aha), but made the rest on his own, so there are imperfections here and there, but ultimately it's pretty impressive and made with a lot of love for Zhongli. In addition, the first two cups are etched with all the important people's names in decorative style in Liyuean writing from Liyue between them both, the third cup has Childe's, Venti's, and Xiao's name on cup along with a hydro symbol and an anemo symbol, and the last cup has Lumine's, Aether's , and Paimon's with the Geo symbol.
Also the lid of the tea pot is etched with representations of the adepti as well as a single glaze lily. ]
Just murder him in his own home, why don't you? But since the guest stars are long gone, there is no way to properly thank Aether as he takes the gifts back inside to store carefully in his room.
And it would be to unbearably selfish to wish Aether back in a place like this after he has potentially won his freedom.
Still, there is his sister to watch over. Perhaps that can be payment enough.
I hope this message finds you in good health. This is Amaranth, of the unit avante en garde. Though we have not yet had cause to meet, I have heard it spoken that when Tokyo-F's temporary "guests" initiated their slaughter, you were among those who put them down before their violence could worsen. Specifically, I believe you were the one to give Miura Hiroto his third death in this place.
If this is indeed true, I would very much like to meet with you to discuss both the man himself, and the spoils of your duel with him.
Unfortunately, I cannot take claim to stopping Miura Hiroto from killing anyone during YOU-KAI's exit. I only learned of it when Miura himself brought the body of his victim to be resurrected by pep!pep! . Though you are correct, I did claim something from him as payment. I also understand from talking to Persephone that you have had your own dealings with Hiroto both back in your own world and here.
I would be amendable to meeting if you are still inclined. Please let me know what time and place would be preferable to you.
Valour 5: Assuming you are in better health now, if you do want to talk I can visit HSS Valour 5: Provided that you have coffee waiting for me Valour 5: But it shouldn't be urgent, considering, so we likely have a bit of time still
[ with emet’s help he’s going to pull zhongli into a shared dream and take him back to teyvat, specially liyue! they’ll find themselves standing on the busy street at night, lanterns hanging here and there and bathing the area in their soft glow. ]
Xiansheng~ [ he reaches for zhongli’s hand, giving it a squeeze. ] Welcome home.
[ It takes a few moments for Zhongli to blink himself into awareness - to the touch of Childe's hand in his, the smell of salt and sea and late night Liyuen cuisine filling the air, the glow of low hanging lanterns, and the constellations of Teyvat filling the night sky. ]
