Ehe . . . and I thought I was the poet between us.

It's philosophy, not poetry.

[ But Zhongli does try to lower both of them so they are lying down rather than propped up against the headboard. ]

Semantics.

[ He curls up almost entirely atop Zhongli, fingers tangling in his shirt, and lets out a long sigh as some of the tension leaves him. ]

. . . Thank you, Morax.

You are very welcome, Venti.

[ He pulls up the sheets to cover the both of them ]

You will always have a place to rest your wings here, whether you believe you need it or not.

Careful, or I might not want to ever leave.

Is that supposed to be some sort of dissuasion?

[ Snickering a little ]

I actually assumed it might be.

Ah, Barbatos.

If you just rested your wings for a bit, you would see how many people adore you.

And not because of your divinity.

[ Thankfully angles and lighting mean Zhongli probably can't see his face color, just a bit ]

Huh? That's out of nowhere . . .

It is not.

You often phrase your departure as if it is a wanted outcome.

Surely I am not the only one you do that, too. Even unconsciously.

[ Thinks really hard on this for a long moment ]

It was a joke, but . . . that's true . . . I guess I see your point . . .

It is one thing when we are---

[ Bickering like a married couple ]

Bantering. In those circumstances, I see where you would perceive it as such.

"Bantering."

Is that what we're calling it now?

I see nothing wrong with the term.

But we're obviously warring gods!

I'm retired.

--I'm a god smiting a lowly mortal!

[ In the same tone of voice as a toddler ramming dinosaur action figures together ]

[ Pinches his cheeks ]

Ow ow owwwww, hey--!!

[ Kisses the now slightly pink skin.

But not apologizing. ]

Incorrigible . . .

[ Though he leans into the touch as he says it ]

Careful.

Or you'll also begin to sound like an old man.

I don't wanna hear that from the universe's oldest fossil!!

I'll have you know that I've met at least two people here older than I.

I'm practically a awe-struck adolescent in comparison.

. . .

Really?!
