Wanderer coming home one day with a ‘young’ dragon and Zhongli is just like ? What

At first he got worried. Like. My lily where did you get this child. Is it my child? Were you hiding him from me? (Because he’s paranoid and realistically wanderer would do that) until wanderer explained that he was, in fact, not a child just… new to being human.  “Yeah no he’s about my age. Be nice” and then dumping what is essentially babysitting duties on him. “… hello, uh… what was your name again?” “Ah- you may refer to me as Zhongli, though our um… mutual friend often refers to me by other names” “oh okay. Uh…” “…” insert awkward silence 

Little does wanderer know, that despite Durin being an adult dragon, old enough to be considered one at least, to Zhongli it’s like calling and 18-20 year old an adult when he himself would theoretically be in his 40s 

don’t get me wrong he also feels this way about wanderer. Sometimes he wants to wrap him in a blanket and baby him for 100000000000 years but uh. That’s a grown ass man so he can’t.

it gets kinda worse with durin though because he like,,, triggers his instincts or smth. Like. Oh. Oh he’s so little. He smells so young…

but he can’t like. Be weird with him because both wanderer and Durin would look at him like he’s insane.
