Zhongli! That is a Toymaker, not a Harbinger! Their salaries are completely different! Have mercy on your future mate’s friend’s wallet! The two have become Liyue Harbour’s favourite rom-com.

I think Dottore would be possessive of anyone he considers his, and if Childe was his younger sibling and those feelings stayed when Ajax!MC reincarnated/time travelled… Well. Let’s just say Dottore (and the other Harbingers (plus maybe the Tsaritsa)) do not appreciate someone they were close to being erased from their memories.

And if they won’t come to their family the Harbingers willingly, then they will be brought in by force. It shouldn’t be too difficult to synthesise a drug capable of knocking out someone with Abyssal ties, no?

Yep. Enjou technically doesn't need to go to Enkanomiya... but the chance to mess with the Traveler? Oh, he wouldn't miss for the world! And the fact Childe!MC is helping him makes it a 100 times more funny!

And don't worry! Zhongli won't burn through ALL Childe!MC's mora... Hopefully, but he's definitely been secretly working on repaying his sugardad, er, his 'friend'. Hm... those chopsticks that nice elderly woman showed him eariler would make for a good present for his dear Toy Maker.

Also, yeah, Childe!MC/Zhongli's shenanigans are like the Harbour's personal walk and talk comedy/budding romance. Everyone ia rooting for the pair to get together. Yes... there is bets going on, and yes, Madame Ping is manning the betting pool.

Oh... oh god, Dottore. No, just no.

and also no to the rest of the clearly rapidly turning yandere Tsaritsa and Harbingers! Just stay away from Childe!MC, please! Man is finally happy! And- ...Wait, what fo you mean drug capable to knocking out someone with Abyssal ties?! Excuse me?! 😱

In Natlan, Ajax!MC could be “Sanka’s” nephew or business partner? Would make him more approachable and/or less suspicious to the Scions of the Canopy. Though Ajaw would be, well, Ajaw about them. (Oooo, could have FL!Ajax!MC help the tribes out with the Abyss attacks! And get seen by Capitano!)

For the first Harbinger to meet him… Hmmm… La Signora would make sense, especially if they’re well-established in Liyue as a Toymaker and visit the nation often (Zhongli is a bonus in Ajax!MC’s eyes). If not her then Dottore, considering the amount of Segments running around.

(Ajax!MC could escape both Harbingers the first time, but Dottore is not a genius for nothing. Enjou and Skirk’s teleportation skills have never been more helpful, but who knows how long those will work)

Oohhh! I like both those ideas involving Enjou! Though, now I can't help but imagine Childe!MC basically leading the Traveler on a wild goose chase all around Enkanomiya for shits and giggles. Like, oh, I'm over here... but now I'm over here!

Also, lol, yeah, Zhongli is a NICE bonus indeed... even if Childe!MC once again had to act as the retired Archon's 'sugardaddy' once again- 🤣

But oh no. Dottore, what are you planing... and Childe!MC, please be careful... 😰
