'You could take it off, but, ah. I suppose not everyone gets what they want.'
To see a wet Zhongli, looking a fool – there's power in that imagery. There's tension in the air and he didn't need to dance with electro to feel it.
'Expecting only leads to disappointment. The terms of our agreements are outlined, no?'
Childe steps to the side, in front of Zhongli to block his view of Venti as the boy reaches the floating lily pad. Tied to its root, a capsule ball belonging to a child weighs it down. Venti tugs and tugs, hoisting it up until the ball was in his hand – an amber glow radiating from it. A cor lapis capsule ball? A trinket with something inside. ]
Zhongli!! There really was something! I told you, I told you!
[ Childe merely smirks, clapping at such a ... ah, interesting sight. He walks past Zhongli but stops midway, his breath against Zhongli's neck. Sharp like a dagger, smooth like water.
'Perhaps next time our paths cross, you'll give me the same attention as your friend from Mondstadt. Don't make me jealous, xiansheng.' ]
