[ Pulls out a seat next to him for her to sit since the sheep seems... well.

Sorry, sheep. ]

Do you mind sitting next to me for a while?

[pyromagiac]

. . . I don't mind at all, if it's okay.

[ sitting herself down, weary ]

[ He places a hand on her shoulder, gentle and perhaps a little cautious. ]

Thank you.

[pyromagiac]

[ she's certainly not shying away from the hand ]

. . . Why is he. . . Why was he part of the erosion? . . . Because of the things he did before?

Re: ENDGAME??

[leaveofabsence]

What he did---?

[ His brows crinkle for a moment before a flash of understanding ]

Oh no. I hold no ill will towards him for that since ultimately that was all part of my design.

It is more that Caeli serves another Archon and has his own goals and path in life. As much as I wish he were here in Liyue with me, his journey has taken him somewhere far away.

Re: ENDGAME??

[pyromagiac]

Oh.

[ with a nod. . . ]

So you're lonely without him, but. . . he's able to come back here if he wants, right?

Re: ENDGAME??

[leaveofabsence]

Yes. I am certain he will return eventually.

And with the Seven's grace, perhaps the people of Liyue will not be as ... unforgiving to him.

Time heals most wounds, after all.

[ with a nod, quiet for a moment ]

—oh. I, uhm. . .

I brought these back. . . I thought they must be important, since they're in script that I can read.

[ presenting: the azhdaha scroll and the yakshas book ]

Re: ENDGAME??

[leaveofabsence]

[ His smile warms as he looks over the gathered writings. ]

I see you have been reading about the heroes of Liyue.

Thank you.

Re: ENDGAME??

[pyromagiac]

[ with a nod, inching them on the table for him while she collects her thoughts ]

Uhm. . .

Can I ask—are you. . . Rex Lapis? The, uhm, "Geo Archon"?

Re: ENDGAME??

[leaveofabsence]

I am.

[ With perhaps an embarrassed laugh. ]

I suppose it was not difficult to come to such a conclusion.
