This is the thought he thinks to himself as he's faced with this.. small person? There's a huff that comes from him as he stares down the large blade pointed in his direction. The void in his helm swirls curiously this way and that as he attempts to figure out how it came to this.

Crying child, in hand. Yes. Strange tiny one with blade. Okay. It would stand to reason that this one thinks that perhaps he had swiped the child up, though that technically wasn't wrong... it wasn't right, either.

“ Oh my, I think I’m lost... ” She very much was — Liyue had changed drastically over the centuries she’d spent in limbo, trying to recuperate from in slow increments until recently. Guizhong had attempted to traverse across the steep slopes of Jueyun Karst to find at least something that she was familiar with to get her bearings. Whilst she could theoretically fly across the region, she hadn’t the strength currently to shift.
