[ it's hard not to notice. he might block out a lot of what is said about him and the fatui, but he can't ignore it all. this is nice. real... nice... ]

[ zhongli subconsciously tailoring a part of his ideal world to making him feel welcome hits harder than the marks the two of them are sporting. ]

[ but, ok, he can feel things later... when the overarching threat of erosion is no longer looming overhead. ]

I think you'll enjoy the proposition I have for you, Tartaglia.

[ He crosses his arms, leaning up against one of the teller stations ]

Will I? Well then. Let's hear it.

[ this, he assumes, is going to be a hard sell. ] Zhongli Xiansheng is beginning to suffer the early onset effects of erosion, and a lot of what we're seeing isn't exactly... real. [ like you, but nevermind that. ]

I couldn't think of anybody better to help me clear away the problems of this world, since I assume they're not going to go away easily. [ implying that there will be murder involved to feebly try to entice him. ]

Erosion? Never heard of it.

[ Since erosion does not exist in Zhongli's ideal world. ]

And if Xiansheng was ill, he would tell me.

But--

If there is something that is going to be a problem for him and a little violence is the answer that I can sweep under the rug with diplomatic immunity---

Then of course I'm going to help you.

[ it's the devil and it should not exist at all. ]

I don't think it's something he'd bring up... even to us. [ insert brief erosion explanation here. ] Hopefully he'll bring it up sometime. [ manages a small smile, because, look, even if this childe is part of the problem he still wants him to be happy. he wants to be happy. why is this happiness fake and in need of cleansing. ]

[ clamps a hand on his shoulder and grins like a little shit. ] I'm glad to have your help, comrade. Let's head out. I'm sure we won't have a problem doing this quickly. [ an obnoxious laugh. ] No doubt our food will still be piping hot when we return to Zhongli Xiansheng.

[ NAT 6 on CHA means that Childe is on board for destruction and murder. A hard sell, I know. ]

Sure, partner.

[ And there might be the gleam in his eye like a kid being offered the entire candy store. ]

We wouldn't want to keep him waiting, now would we?

Re: Liyue Marketplace: Northland Bank

[childeishly]

[ time to head out. let's start with the mountains, since the other places are all real close to each other. wouldn't want to be late for the date following a bunch of not!murder. ]

[ Mountains! ]
