"Rex Lapis!! Hi!!" Venti giggles, bouncing his steps almost delicately as he approached his friend, a bottle of wine and two glasses in his hands. "Wonderful to see you! I was worried you'd faded to dust in your old age!"

HE  stood there at a loss, wooden spear in hand to watch the sun hit the horizon. It was a cityscape he found he did not recognize, full of bright lights and large, looming buildings scraping the very surface of the sky. Zhilan would consider himself well-traveled prior to last evening. He had studied abroad for several years, and he had thoroughly traversed the roads of Liyue many a time overâeven off the beaten path, in nooks and crannies that were seldom touched in the Land of Geoâs new age of mankind. Though with a bit of wandering with very little clue to go, he came to realize he was not nearly the seasoned adventurer he might have been led to believe he was. What he was instead was indisputably lost, and he was lucky if the pedestrians on the street gave him anything more than a glance, should they not overlook him altogether. And it was strange, because Zhilan felt it certain that he stood outâidling knock-kneed and confused on a sidewalk just after sunrise. But if he stood out, no one gave him indication of such... It seemed best that he start asking around, had he any hope of locating his supposed place of stay. A gentleman clad in dark clothing happens to catch his eye first, if only because the color sits starkly amongst the sherbet hue of morning. So he breaks into a brisk walk to catch his attention before the manâs coattails disappear from sight.     â E- Excuse me! â  He starts with, and once heâs near and the stranger isnât in danger of slipping through his fingers he slows his steps against the concrete, one hand instinctively over the Vision at his collar and the other let loosely at his side.
    â Excuse me, I... Would you, happen to know where this is? â  Thereâs a vague gesture, like heâs realized he should probably specify.  â This city, is it in Fontaine? â Sighing softly, he pushes up his wispy bangs with his palm, dismissing the idea almost outright...     â No, that canât be right... What I mean to say is: do you know if this city has a name? â @contractuumâ  ââ s.c.!

albedo is fairly certain he just witnessed this person walk into a door, and then appear fully perplexed when it hadnât opened. and as amusing as the situation is, he doesnât really have time to stand around waiting for him to figure it out⌠so when he goes to move around zhongli he comments, âi believe it opens out, not in.â before demonstrating that, indeed, it opens out as he had been sure he recalled. then, realizing it could be perceived as terribly insensitive not to ask if he was alright (something he was good at being unintentionally at the worst of times), he turns back to the other man with the door held open.
âyou werenât injured, i hope? that seemed⌠unpleasant.â
unfortunately small talk is also not exactly his strong suit. figuring out how to properly socialize was often a constant point of struggle for the homunculus.
i really appreciate the confirmation regarding the reserve, so i'll be sending him back in before it's posted so i can get started with him again right away! reapplying as zhongli from genshin impact, and the application can be found in the sidebar compendium or under /application

@contractuum â§Â terres-tree-al decorating
the Travelerâs Garden...
with a name like that, it was natural that the border of Mistwood would become their destination. there was something uncomfortable about the fog which lurked throughout the woodland, urging they remain on the pathway cleared in order to reach their destination without complication. though that didnât mean the two werenât keeping their eyes peeled â the set-up was ideal for an ambush, and anyone who knew the Fatuiâs preferred tact would accuse them long before their presence had even been confirmed or refuted.
as it were assured, their passage had completed without a hitch, and the grove with plentiful trees young welcomed its visitors, heaps of boxes spread throughout as invitation to decorate their branches in line with the displays found within the city. at first, it was a little jarring â the notion of dressing up trees in such a secluded location, yet others had allowed themselves to settle and do as such, leading to Paimon shrug, suggesting it couldnât hurt to try. it was an idyllic garden, no differently than had it been contained within a sanctuary of which all manner of violence had been prohibited. Nahida would love it.
in the Dendro Archonâs honour, Lumine made a commitment that a stretch of green tinsel play a part of their treeâs festive wear, though none could be seen within or around the boxes scattered around the trunk, leading her to search for some, a hand gripping grip the golden stretch hanging over her shoulder. given the progress theyâd made, it was safe to assume nobody would attempt to finish the job while they were away, and all supplies were communal, so thereâd no need to protect what remained strewn about the frosty grass. luckily had that been the case, for once wandering hues sighted him, that undeniable stature, Lumineâs mind went black, uncertain if she was seeing things correctly.
âŚhuh? Zhongli?! youâre here too?!âŚ
an Archon? while Rex Lapis might no more be safeguarding the people of Liyue, he remained among them, watching their growth with a whimsical smile on his face. it made no sense that he would outright walk away, even after they had proved capable of standing on their own feet. so, this place... it had the ability to capture even a god?
@contractuumââ
itâs rare to find him in the housing assigned upon arrival. Xiao prefers spending time outside rather than sharing space with those unknown, that and it wouldnât be good for them. if the danger no longer applies in this place, he has yet to discover it. until then, heâs quick to enter quietly and leave unseen. today is no different. just as the Adeptus is about to open the door, the next over clicks to signal someoneâs departure, causing him to pause.
the one who exits, however, is not who he expected to see here. while surprising, itâs one of the better variety. his grip leaves the handle, fully turning to face the former Archon. strange that Xiao would find himself lost for words, though he may not speak much to begin with.
a few moments pass before finally addressing the other. âRex Lapis...â the first instinct is to bow his head as a show of respect. his curiosity is piqued, wondering what the occasion is for such a visit to whoever may be inside, but he knows better than to ask meaningless questions â especially ones that do not concern him.
