Zhongli of Liyue

     “ TSK, tsk. That’s the third time, isn’t it, xiansheng ? I thought you’d learn by now ! ” 

       time. before her separation with aether, it had seemed unending. she always had him, and they go anywhere, whenever they wanted. now, the clock seemed to click off at every moment. every moment apart from him was another moment either one of them could be lost from each other forever. “in a manner of speaking, i suppose it is..” she offers a wry smile, shaking her head. “though a moment to pick a flower to adorn you wouldn’t hurt much.” it would. wasting time when aether was who knows where. “i think blue would suit you quite nicely.. a glaze lily perhaps?” 

Glazed Lilies, he could never turn his eyes away from such wonderful flowers. A thoughtful nod accompanied the adeptus as he turned his attention up the hill. It’s a ways upward, but they both would know that there’s only one place a true Glazed Lily would grow. 

“I don’t know how many are left now, but we may take a look and see if we can find one like we did last time. I would like to also hear you sing to it again, too.” Knowing full well that he himself could not do it, only Lumine could. This, of course, creased a fond smile upon Zhongli’s lips as he gazed at her. 

“Would you like for me to lead the way?” 

Ah... that is indeed a question that mortals would have for someone like him. Even if known as an adeptus, Zhongli continued to smile fondly as he faced southward towards the ocean. The wind crisp, just as he had remembered when little young Ningguang had gently pattered her way down the beach along the cost near Liyue Harbor.

Closing his eyes, he could recall her exact words of surprise when, each time, she would pick up something new along the coastline. Be it a pretty shell, a pearl or two, or even the occasional artifact that someone may have dropped at some point- or washed ashore.

Yes... he indeed treasured those memories very fondly.

"You could say that you remind me of someone. Someone that had been very important to me. A dear friend of mine."

Guizhong.

"She is no longer with us, but if I were to put a finger on it... you could say that your extravagant way of thinking and problem solving remind me of her. She always liked figuring something out, always seemingly having a plan if one option expired. Bright yet determined, she had her way of giving me an impression of someone I could trust. That is most likely why you feel I am familiar with you."

His smile never dropped from his face. Cherishing those memories... it felt nice.

"Talented. Not by blood or by being gifted by the gods, but by a random happenstance of chances. That is all I may see when I have so much as glanced upon that Snezhnayan warrior. Yet... his personality, the friendly kind... I think of it as good company."

"Ah... The traveler is someone that has become much more important to me than many others within the past grand years. He who has wandered this world not for a long time, but long enough to know there is something amidst. Still, I am eagerly awaiting for his tales when he arrives back to Liyue from his voyage."

A sip of tea.

Childe reached over to take some of the wine into his mouth and soon crashed his lips into the other’s so that they could both partake in the aphrodisiac together. The heat quickly began settle in and he was already a flustered mess by the time he broke the kiss. Despite how unravelled he himself was, it was always such a fun game to be able to watch as Prime Adeptus’ restraint slowly tear apart. (can’t believe word limit is oppressing me)

lumine has appeared… @geoconsult​ chose caress face… then put flower in her hair. 

   she pauses, looking up at him with a small smile.. “that wasn’t one of the options..” though she doesn’t mind much. she picked many flowers in her travels, but rarely was she on the receiving end. “should i find you a flower too??”
