I'll put in for it then. And you'll have to show me Heart Soldier's garden sometime.

[leaveofabsence]

Very well. It is a promise then.




[ And there is a hesitant pause before he turns to kiss Childe on the cheek in turn. ]

[childeishly]

[ /// ] ...but that's for later. I still have this first upgrade to show you. [ steps into wild city and heads to his room, crawling into the fox hole and toward hatch with a constellation. ]

[ Blinks at the hatch. . . ]

Isn't that your constella---

2/3 I lied

[leaveofabsence]

[ And then it's cold.

Cold. Cold. Cold. Cold.

How could this happen to poor Zhonglis who live in humid temperate climates? ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Clearly the solution here is to burrow up against Childe for warmth. And so he does, practically gluing himself to his side. ]

I see you brought a piece of Snezhnaya here.

[childeishly]

[ he loops an arm around zhongli… and turns into a big fucken bear. he’ll scoop him up and hold him against his furry self as he starts down the mountain. it’s a bit of a trek, but childe can make it relatively quick! ]

[ once at the bottom he sets zhongli down and changes back, finally able to answer him. ] I did. I found I missed the harsh biting cold of Snezhnaya, but perhaps more importantly I wanted to be able to ice fish.

[ opens the door to the cabin. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Wait, but--- wait...

What just happened now...? ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He wraps his arms around Childe from behind once they are in the cabin, snuggling into him like a lifeline. ]

Did you just turn into a bear just now? Your fur was so soft.

[childeishly]

I did. Want me to do it again? It's kind of a pain I can't talk when I'm in any animal form but my chosen, but... [ shrugs. ]

[leaveofabsence]

Oh.

That is a tough choice. But I do believe---

[ And he pecks Childe on the cheek ]

That I do prefer hearing your voice.

[childeishly]

[ smiles. ] Human me it is. [ circles an arm around zhongli's waist and leads him over to the sunk in circular couch decked out in pillows and blankets. ] Have a seat, Xiansheng, and I'll get the fire going. [ aka he'll turn it on. ] Want a cup of hot chocolate too? [ he plans on making one for himself, since sitting at a fire with a warm drink in hand has always been a nice memory of his. of course he'd normally been surrounded by his siblings or... subordinates... but still. ]
