Reminder, the premise is “would a normie think it’s weird to find them attractive?” (Would they have to “hear me out?”) NOT “smash-or-pass”

   Freed of his celestial duty, the one previously named ‘Rex Lapis’ finds himself able to wander the world once more – and at the beckoning of an ‘old friend’, Zhongli finds himself in the heart of Mondstadt: Angel’s Share. The tavern is different from what one for find in Liyue; it’s equal parts rustic and posh, and it’s understandable why the talkative adventurers line the tables across the room.

   It’s not Zhongli’s taste at all.

   Gently swirling the content of his glass, his eyes narrow at his drink. Everything from the fragrance to color makes him wonder why Barbatos so highly praised this particular establishment, but perhaps he should have known better than to trust the words of a drunkard wisp. Still, it’s rude to judge without properly indulging and the man finally takes a sip of the liquid without batting an eye.
