heyaa I wanted to draw these two again ever since we learned they'll be on a banner together so I can offer you this!

IT’S WHEN THEY’RE REACH OTHER’S EXCEPTION.

HAIKAVEH. ALHAITHAM IS ALWAYS LOGICAL AND SELFISH AND DOESN’T BOTHER TAKING THE TIME TO CONVINCE PEOPLE OF THINGS HE KNOWS ARE TRUE IF THEY DON’T BELIEVE IT. BUT WITH KAVEH? THEY BICKER AND FIGHT AND ALHAITHAM THROWS ALL HIS APATHY OUT THE WINDOW. AND KAVEH? HE’S GENEROUS AND ROMANTIC AND WAY TOO KIND FOR HIS OWN GOOD. BUT WITH ALHAITHAM? HE LETS HIMSELF BE RUDE AND PRISSY AROUND HIM BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WON’T LASH OUT AT HIM FOR IT.

CHILUC. I MEAN DAMN, THIS ONE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF?????? THE ONE THING EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT DILUC IS HIS HATRED FOR THE FATUI. HE TRIED TO TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION BY HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS BARELY AN ADULT FOR GODS SAKE. BUT WITH CHILDE? HE LETS HIMSELF BE KIND TO HIM—A FATUI HARBINGER OF ALL PEOPLE. AND CHILDE IS LOYAL TO HIS COUNTRY AND THE TSARITSA ABOVE ALL ELSE. SHE GAVE HIM HIS PURPOSE, AFTER ALL. BUT WITH DILUC? HE’S DEVOTED AND CARING AND LOVING IN A WAY HE ON,Y SHOWS HIS WORK.

NEUVILI. ZHONGLI LITERALLY FAKED HIS OWN DEATH TO GET AWAY FROM HIS PAST. AND YET HERE HE IS FRATERNIZING WITH THE HYDRO DRAGON SOVEREIGN AND DRINKING TEA TOGETHER. AND NEUVILLETE HATES THE ARCHONS. HE STANDS FURINA BECAUSE SHE NEVER WAS FOCALORS TO BEGIN WITH. BUT AGAIN, HE’S HANGING OUT WITH THE GEO ARCHON HIMSELF, ONE OF IF NOT THE OLDEST ARCHONS OUT OF THEM ALL.

Outfit is inspired by Pinterest images.

!Also additional notes about this Neuvi!

-For the sake of this AU I am changing his age but that won’t be revealed until another day👍

-The Imperial Consort of the Geo Archon.

-Liyuans adore him and even call him ‘宝石 (bǎoshí)’ which I just learned means ‘beautiful sea.’

-The gold ring in his eyes came after mating with Rex Lapis, kind of showing that they are bonded by soul now. Rex Lapis will also have a blue ring in his eyes.
