“The crystal flowers that the kids were speaking about? Uh-huh, they were indeed mine,” Elysia smiles at the man without thinking of how the kiddos might have described the flowers to others. They disappeared the moment the pinkette said she had to go, but it seemed like the children’s tales will travel just as far as the wind’s current. It made the woman chuckle as she noted on the bright golden gaze of his, making her immediately think of her dearest friend Eden, but it was quickly tossed away as she’d continue.
“Are you perhaps an appraiser? With eyes that seem to reflect the knowledge and the wisdom of someone who has seen enough, it makes me wonder just what exactly will you find in the crystallized flowers that have no place in this world? Are you searching for the heavenly blessing of radiance or are you perhaps indulging in the fairytales told by children, hoping it is true as they say?”
The poetic ways of speaking would continue as the woman giggles again and then shakes her head as if to toss away that flowery language. The kids must’ve called her a goddess as Elysia introduced herself, a joking manner of calling herself a deity of love. How serious will she be taken was unknown, but her words were always carried with a mischievous but a warm note.
“For the one who has stepped under the light of the lanterns in the City of Contracts, this delicate flower will expose her blossoming blessings,” the ungloved palm opens up before the man, from the nowhere appear glimmers of pink before the crystals start to dance in the air, levitating above her palm. The soft and warm glow radiated from them, mysteriously and alluringly.
Before, kids played as the crystal flowers were levitating above their heads without being touched. Elysia’s smile softens as she lets the crystals dance in the air around her then, transforming into three flowers that then would return to levitate above her extended hand.
“In the city of the Geo Archon, I can only hope that their radiance will not be offended by the sight of my blessing. Does this satisfy your curiosity of the rosy radiance? This gift cannot be carried away. I will advise for you not to hold them for too long if you wish to make sure they are real. Would you like to touch one of them before my departure, dear stranger? Perhaps, it is luck that led you here. I was about to search for a place to stay after indulging the youth.”
(Elysia without knowing that she is standing before the Geo Archon: Look at how pretty my crystal flowers are, I hope CEO of GEO won't be offended that they're so pretty. Well, my cute appearance should soothe any consequences!)
Zhongli did nothing as he listened to the other, only looking in solemn silence, unmoving, calm and controlled as always. Words of a mysterious traveler with particular abilities yet no visions had him investigate, especially since the words came from young civilians. After all, in retirement, he had time, and he’d hate to put the Millelith in danger against an unknown foe. Since an individual able to control all elements without a vision woke up after falling from the sky, who would know if anything else was possible...
A hand delicately raised towards the nearest flower, wishing to inspect it, although the consultant’s fingertips only grazed against its petal, not willing to disturb its levitation, although only briefly before his hand was brought to his back, posture relaxed but serious. He could not detect any Archon element, which caused him to frown internally, atop of the power emanating from this person... not unlike a Harbinger.
“ My name is Zhongli. I am a consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I imagine you could say I am an appraiser of some sort, but for such matters, I do think that there are more credited professionals than myself for this. I only wield some general knowledge here and there. ”
The second gloved hand opened with grace, low at his belt as to not feel boastful to this Traveler, as elegant petals of a golden glazed lily opened into the dragon’s palm, slightly smaller the one he had just looked upon. With his “vision” shining at his lower back, the flower was made out of an auburn core spread Geo particles to make up its refined apparition, just as casually made, from two individuals quite used to their abilities.
“ Aesthetics are not exclusive to the land of Liyue. It would be most disrespectful to not appreciate those from quite afar.
If you wish to stay at the Harbor, Baiju Guesthouse is down the main stairs, its entrance is at the port. They can accommodate travelers who are only passing or those who stay for an extended period of time... ”
