I'm being honest, Xiansheng! Just look at you. [ reaches up to boop his snoot. ] But I'll refrain from making a slimy dish, just for you. [ he'll opt for king crab! and he's going to attempt to make sushi. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ At some point during the cooking, there might be soft snoring coming from atop Childe's head. ]

[childeishly]

… [ tries to peer through his own bangs to see zhongli, but that’s impossible. he heads back into the living room and kneels down, building him a comfy nest before placing him inside. he’ll get back to the cooking afterward. his sushi rolls are going to look so janky! and will probably be falling apart, so it may be for the best that zhongli can’t watch him completely suck. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Something flutters around his ankles as he begins plating. ]

[childeishly]

Hn? [ startles just a little bit, looking down for the source. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Tug at his pant leg.

Tug tug tug. ]

Let me roll them.

[childeishly]

[ scoops him up and keeps him tucked under his arm for an extra few moments. ] You sure you're going to be able to help like this?

[leaveofabsence]

[ Baps at with his tail. ]

Yes. Just help me to the sink so I can wash off my paws.

[childeishly]

Not a fan of how I wrapped the sushi I take it. [ laughs, bringing zhongli to the sink and turning on the faucet for him. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He starts washing his little plush paws much like a raccoon before hopping onto the counter to go and roll the sushi himself.

Expertly, mind you. Even as he has the scuttle around in order to reach all of it. ]

[childeishly]

How are you able to do this so well when you’re like… [ jabs him in the side. ] this.

[leaveofabsence]

[ He titters as his tail curls to protect his side from another poke. ]

I've spent just as much time on four legs as two.

[childeishly]

I have my doubts that the mighty Rex Lapis spent his time as a dragon rolling sushi… unless there’s a story you haven’t told me.

[leaveofabsence]

As long as you understand the underlying principles this can be done in any form.

Perhaps it is your own restlessness that prevents you from the same.

[childeishly]

I'm not restless. [ huffs. ] Not here. I consider this place something of a sanctuary in this this ridiculous hell. [ he's not going to give up on his sushi rolling... though he will watch zhongli and try to imitate him. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He pads over to Childe and covers his hands with his plush paws, helping him roll the sushi in the same way that he re-adjusts Childe's grips on chopsticks. ]

I'm glad to hear that this place brings you some peace.

[childeishly]

I hope your room does something similar for you. [ lets zhongli move his hands here and there, so he can finally roll a piece of sushi that doesn’t look like a mangled piece of junk. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ There is a happy tail wag when Childe creates at least one roll that doesn't look like it was unfortunately squished. ]

Of course, how could it not? It reminds me of Liyue and you.

[childeishly]

[ picks up the roll and offers it to zhongli. ] Here, Xiansheng. I'd like you to eat this o- [ WAY TO KILL HIM. ] Me too, h- huh?

[leaveofabsence]

Of course. The things you have brought me from that Game Center you enjoy line nearly all the shelves.

Just like all the trinkets you bought me in Liyue line my abode at home.

How could I not associate it with you?

[ He reaches up with grabby paws to try and get the sushi Childe is offering to him. ]

[childeishly]

We should go to the mall and pick out a couple things that suit the room a little bit better than the assortment of things I won you from the game corner. [ but the sentiment is cute and earns zhongli’s fuzzy head a kiss. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He just nods his head in response as he now has the sushi roll held firmly in two paws and is gnawing on one end of it.

Much like how a raccoon or otter would eat their food. ]

The north wall could use some more red accents.

[childeishly]

... [ ohno. that is fucken adorable. he's going to scoop up zhongli and try to steal a bit of the roll he's holding in his paws. ]

I'll buy you whatever you like, Xiansheng.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Flails and make grabby paws for.

Hey!

That's his sushi.

He wriggles around in Childe's grasp. ]

[childeishly]

What is it Xiansheng? Use your words~ [ kisses at those flailing paws. ]
