Glaze Lily: Then if you are not concerned, I have no concerns. My relationship with Snezhnaya has always been a cordial one. Glaze Lily: Are you free sometime today? Glaze Lily: I have something for you.
Glaze Lily: I would prefer to reveal them in person. Glaze Lily: But I will say that I received some unusual currency from the production that allows for purchase of trinkets imported from Teyvat. Glaze Lily: Ah. I hope that does not give too much away. Glaze Lily: May I come visit?
[ When Child arrives, Zhongli will already be seated, food ordered and pouring him a fresh cup of tea as soon as he hears the tell-tale gait of him approaching. ]
I hope you do not mind I took the liberty of ordering before your arrival.
[ And so Zhongli goes about dividing the shared plates evening and piling Childe's plates high with an assortment of dim sum and a warm bowl of congee. Probably more than two people should be eating for one meal but that has never stopped them before.
Though at Childe's seat, there is a bright red lacquered box with golden ginkgo leaves painted down one side as if an autumn wind had blown them. It's long and narrow - about half the size of Childe's forearm. ]
[ he’s starving! so this is all perfect, and if there’s something zhongli can’t or won’t eat, then childe will take care of it. he goes to sit down, eyes falling on the beautiful box. ]
Xiansheng… [ sets a hand on it and takes his seat. ] Is this for me? [ he got him a gift-! that’s so sweet. he tries to hide his excitement, but his tail is going nuts at his back. ]
-ah, You... [ smiles, feeling his face heat up as he admires them, taking them out of the box and giving them a test. ] I love them, Xiansheng. [ turns to peck his cheek. ] I love you.
I have been practicing for you, Xiansheng. I though I could impress you. [ beans, glad it didn't drop it in his lap of all places. ] ...these are just as nice as I remember. [ reaches to cup his cheek, unable to keep from taking another kiss. ] Have I told you I love you yet? [ a laugh as he sags into him, admiring the chopsticks. ]
I love you, too, Childe. And I am grateful for every opportunity to spend time with you.
[ He runs his fingers through Childe's hair. ]
Ah, but things have been quite eventful for you. For them to bring someone else from the Fatui so shortly after that last game. Have you had any time to rest?
[ going to grab another bite of food, but this time for himself. ] Hn? I got to spend some time with you, Xiansheng, and I didn't mind the game at all. I had fun. [ shrugs. ] I don't mind the other Harbingers... most of the time. If I'm being honest I think I'm most relieved that it's not Il Dottore.
Yes, but you did not rest. You were spoiling me. And I'm sure I was not the only one on that list.
[ Said affectionately as he cards his fingers through Childe's hair one more time before settling back in his seat so he can only enjoy his food before it goes cold. ]
Ah. I suppose I only have the short experience with you and Signora and those were---
Exceptional circumstances.
I'm glad to hear that most interactions with them are not so complex.
Nothing is more relaxing than spending time with you, Xiansheng. I rested. Promise. [ nuzzles into him. ] I had a great time on the beach.
All of the Harbingers have their quirks. Scaramouche is an asshole, but he's one of the few that would occasionally indulge me in a fight. I'll admit it was kind of fun seeing who could mess the other up bad enough to warrant a visit from Dottore. [ a laugh. ] But, mm, and she's 'no nonsense' and 'no fun'. [ another laugh! ] Just keep an eye on aibou for me. I can't imagine Scaramouche is going to be thrilled with him given some things that have transpired...
I'm afraid I have not had a chance to talk to the Traveler about their journey to Inazuma. And it did not come up before Aether lost his memories. Or rather - a new Aether arrived without memories.
...most of what happens in Inazuma stays in Inazuma. [ going to keep eating. ] Just keep an eye on him. You'll have a much easier time doing so than me, being on the same unit and all.

Is it a surprise...

Glaze Lily: But I will say that I received some unusual currency from the production that allows for purchase of trinkets imported from Teyvat.

I didn't know we had another currency.
But, no, not really!
Where did you want to meet?
no subject
Glaze Lily: I am rather fond of this place's congee.
Glaze Lily: And their light brunch menu would be perfect for both the time and the weather.

But I'll see you soon.

Yes. That is for you.
Unless you know some other handsome 11th Harbinger who would wish to claim it instead.

And paid with Zhongli's coin this time. Probably the bigger miracle. ]

[ but he is going to attempt to grab something to offer to zhongli, and surprisingly he doesn't drop it! - a miracle!! ]

He returns the peck on his cheek while placing even more food on his plate while he's distracted. ]
You have improved. I'm quite proud.
