[ we're at the bon bon ranch, because i think i'm funny for how this starter is going to begin. zhongli is just checking things out curiously, considering he was pretty distracted on saturday and sunday. he looks up from where he was looking at the various treats for horses, as if pondering whether he wanted to entice one over. ]
Oh, Adolphe. [ ... and then, there's a whinny in the distance. huh, weird. ] Truly interesting, the similarities yet differences this part of Heaven has. Have you gotten more familiar with these past gates..?
[ There's something loud going on towards the church. If he heads over there and peeks inside the door, he will see the the interior of the church ruined with glass everywhere, shattered windows and glass art, disorderly pews, and slashed paintings of axolotls.
The emotion share can only be described as something that would look disgusting like a sludge, but it feels like nothing, like the void. The vibes are overwhelming.
With a nat 1... Zhongli will have to defend himself against a sword strike almost immediately. ]
considering how things have gone today, the sound of destruction and the absolutely horrendous energy coming off of the church right now isn't necessarily a surprise. but the nothingness reminds him in an uncomfortable way of the abyss, something that would be thick to wade through if it had physical form - it does, however, tell him this probably isn't brimstone before he even sees a flash of metal.
zhongli's not fast enough to deflect, but he is fast enough to block, spear summoned just before he can have the sword lodged in him. he ignores or doesn't notice that there's a cut through his sleeve. ]
[ Adolphe is just a young man in his twenties, but he isn't the leader of a vigilante group for no reason. His sword skills are top notch with years of rigorous training even if my fight tag writing isn't :') but still, at the end of the day, there are many people here who are still far greater than him, be it with their powers of simply years of experience.
But he knows when to push people away. When Zhongli blocks, Adolphe uses the momentum of the sword to try and push—or hit him back as far as he can. It isn't too strange when Zhongli can probably feel the emoshare that quietly replaces the void with the vibes of "go away".
It isn't personal to Zhongli though. Adolphe is lashing out, but he's always been reasonable. ]
[ omnipresent girl mood. 6000+ year old god vs my shitty combat writing.
but zhongli feels that shift of emotions, and feels the way that the sword pushes against the void vanquisher. it would likely be wise for most anyone else to heed the demand, unspoken as it is - but adolphe has been here, destroying the church on his own. does that actually help him to feel any better?
he pushes back, hooking the bottom of the spearhead on the sword to pull, to stop him from being able to retreat, before pursuing. no hostility, no anger, just concern shifting into calm invitation. fight me. let it out. ]
Adolphe immediately recognizes the invitation and has a feeling that he knows what the person before him is trying to do. He doesn't retreat since Zhongli doesn't allow him to do so, so he meets him head on regardless. In fact, it looks like he knows how to fight against lances and spears with the movements that he makes with his sword. Just like how Zhongli prevented his retreat, he tries the same back to him by grabbing onto the other end of the shaft with his hand. ]

no subject
Somewhat, but not in detail. I come to this one more than others though.
[ And no, it's not because of the horses. ]
no subject
Something that reminds you of home..? Or perhaps the opposite?
no subject
[ So, no. Nothing like the suggestions that Zhongli gives. ]
And refreshing... I used to take care of a garden before to grow vegetables.
