looking for the archives?

Comments

[pactmarshal]

I suppose so.

[ He's picturing the teasing and comments from the people who know him and he can't handle it. ]

That also means we are both important to him. I would love to meet you at some point - you should stop by the archives when you have a moment.

[localweirdo]

I would love to! Although, you're going to do your best to keep me interested in the archives. While I can say that you have done the painstaking task of updating everyone of this world, it can be rather boring to me.

[pactmarshal]

Oh, no, I'm sorry if I was unclear. I'm not inviting you to the archives to give you a tour. I'm inviting you because I think this would be the easiest way for us to meet - I keep long hours here and am not always at home.

[ He works too much. ]

[localweirdo]

In other words, you want me to come visit you during your work hours. I'm impressed you managed to find time to spend with Zhongli despite your busy schedule.

[pactmarshal]

Now that I think about it, so am I. Before we stared seeing each other, I would often spend sunup to sundown working at the archives. I don't feel my schedule has changed all that much, but I always seem to have time for him. It's funny.

Regardless, yes - drop by any time, and I'll most likely be here.

[localweirdo]

Then what shall I bring you? Especially as a lovely gift for our first meeting?

[And you know. You're the boyfriend of her employee now too.]

[pactmarshal]

I appreciate the sentiment, Hu Tao, but there's no need. Simply seeing your face and getting to know you is a gift enough.

[localweirdo]

Oh nonsense. It would be a terrible thing if I didn't give you something.

Please do tell me or I shall be one to assume what you want for myself!

[pactmarshal]

[ Oh no, Trahearne's weakness... Thinking about his own wants!

The next message comes at a great delay, because he has to step away to think about this one. What gift would he want? From his boyfriend's boss? ]

If there is a delicacy or particularly unique trinket from your world you would like to share with me, then I would be more than happy to receive it.

[ Because then he can learn something new, too :)! ]

[localweirdo]

That shouldn't be too difficult conjure up! I'm pretty sure there is a certain something back home that Zhongli would like too!

[What was she planning? Who knows....]

[pactmarshal]

[ Someone else might think her plotting nefarious, but Trahearne is just happy! ]

All the better if I get to share it with Zhongli. I'm rather looking forward to your gift, and to meeting you, Hu Tao. Thank you for reaching out.
