[ daigo glances over when he hears the approaching footsteps, but looks back out towards the sea as to not exhale in the direction of a stranger and be rude. ]
[ hey daigogo, we're out by the gazebo for some fresh air instead of salty, tarnish air. zhongli is mostly a reserved, retrospective sort of person, so he won't mind if they spend their time mostly in silence when they cross paths.
but! ]
... I must apologize again that you were put into a position of discomfort, Mister Dojima. While your reasons for it aren't known to me, I can hardly blame you, considering my own reluctance to the check.
[ zhongli understood immediately what this holiday is meant to be, and even on day two he can't help the wistful twist to his mouth for a moment - especially after the exhausting end of the day that was had. he's not got champagne with him, rather an amber colored wine that he brings with him for some beautuiful peace and quiet where hopefully no cerbegooses can get them.
when he sees daigo, he lifts up the osmanthus wine in both greeting and offering as his dragon tail flicks. ]
[ beaches you... zhongli stands just out of reach of the tide, still fully dressed and looking all the more out of place for it. his arms are behind his back even as daigo comes along. ]
... wrath, this time, I think. Will we truly find ourselves going through every sin until there's hardly a one of us left?
[ IT'S FINE I'LL CATCH YOU UP also i accidentally put fucking wk 3 on this IT'S WEEK 2 SNOW!!!
anyways they were working on the theory that we're replicating the seven deadly sins. sloth for jing yuan, greed or envy for hawke? neverah is probably wrath. ]
... nearly so, this time. Yves almost would have become a victim of our own making.
[ i'm going to drop us directly into memshare so that i can make sure we get everything taken care of. so whether they're in the funhouse or step through a doorway and find themselves there...
well, congrats! you've been chosen for a memory of dust for this one! if you want another one later on in the thread or the week i've GOT you. ]
[ for his loss. for seeing this at all. death and grief are private things, and to forcefully intrude where he isn't meant to be - despite the fact it was through no fault of his own - he feels bad. sad. he can sympathize, at least in a small, human degree. ]
giving him some time to get settled in, zhongli will seek out dojima in the hotel once the chaos of spying on their friends has calmed down some. his chao toddles along at his heels, placid, humming to itself a little off-key but still cutely.
meanwhile, the old god's emotions seem to come in from a distance. quiet, calm, and overall pleasant, but like they're down a long hall. ]
Exciting few days, Mister Dojima. Settling in alright?
[ he feels like shit and probably looks like shit because he was drinking most of trial and got into a knock down drag out with majima. at least it'll heal quickly but man.
[ zhongli considers whether he should make his way over to check on him or not, but in the end decides he's had enough time to himself to wallow in his depressed misery. ]
Mister Dojima. [ hi, he has a water bottle for your stupid ass after you drank so much during trial watch. he'll offer it to him. ]
[ he's looking a little harried, despite still being dignified, watching a few frogs hop by. his chao is still trying to herd them? he just lets kedou do this. ]
Usually it's the other side that has to contend with chaotic Tuesdays... yet here we are.
[ I wish Jiaoqiu had roasted that goose when we first encountered it. ]
WEEK 0, MONDAY
well. zhongli doesn't have to smoke but daigo sure is. ]
no subject
instead, he's making his way over - with heavier footfalls than normal so that he doesn't jumpscare the man - to join him. ]
Quite the view, here, isn't it?
no subject
It's better than what I'm used to.

If it's not going to be an intrusion.
[ it's the middle of the night, what else are they going to do?
but still. it seems rude to just say yes. ]
no subject
zhongli's tail gives another little flick as he inclines his head, just. a tiny bit amused. daigo he invited you shut up. ]
Hardly. Some peace and quiet, this late at night? We could use it. Do you have firework festivals where you come from, Mister Dojima?

he'll come stand nearby. not too close. it is a respectful distance. but close enough that conversation is easy. ]
Not unless someone gets away with it, I imagine.

I suppose that means we were due for something, at some point.
[ i need a nap. ]
Although this goes against the spirit of healing, doesn't it?
