[ hello maomao. at the moment, zhongli can be found in his clothes from home again, surveying the clothes in the clothing store with mild fascination. a lot of these styles don't exist in teyvat, let alone liyue, so he can't help his curiosity. he has his chin in hand as he carefully moves the hangers along the rack with the other hand, eyebrows periodically twitching, or a frown showing. ]
There truly is. [ i googled for a random garish outfit so here you go it's any one of these. zhongli doesn't seem to think highly of this getup, and instead gently nudges the hanger along. ]
I don't know about you, miss, but I can't say I'm too familiar with some of these clothes, foods, or technology that we've encountered since arriving.
[ help those are terrifying ] They are certainly... interesting.
[ glancing at him to make sure he doesn't seem to like them. please have normal tastes ]
Most of the clothes, foods, and technology are different from what I'm used to as well. It's nothing like what I've heard from stories either. [ we're no longer in fantasy china, peepaw ]
[ i think the guy in blue is a groom and those are his groomsmen i hate it. christmas themed wedding. ] Very much so.
[ he does not like them. get it away from him. ]
Mm. A few people seem familiar with some aspects - [ a nod to indicate the clothes, halo bobbing with the motion. ] - but overall, it's different from the tales I'm aware of as well. Much to learn and adapt to.
[ the one in red is the one i hate the most i think. his shoes are coordinated. ]
Hmm... let us see. [ he moves away from this particular rack, heading to another, eyes scanning. there's a little perk as he seems to find at least something, and he retrieves... a qipao! ] This is quite common for the ladies of Liyue Harbor these days.
she's going to look over what he's picked out. while there's a touch of something familiar, it's missing the layers and length of her time. ]
It is pretty. [ she's going to poke around before pulling out a hanfu to show him ] This is close to what ladies would wear. [ there's also what she is wearing presently, but it's her lady-in-waiting uniform so not what is the trend ]
[ do you think they match the tie or the suit... ]
Oh, a hanfu. Some people of Liyue still wear them, although they are considered more traditional or old-fashioned by many. Unfortunate - you can see some quite beautiful and elegant designs with them. [ he'll put the qipao back carefully. ] You and I may come from similar worlds, albeit not the same.
[ oh horrifying thank you for making my gift worse pan. ]
Mm, yes, Mister Jiaoqiu comes to mind. [ but then she brings up such a horrifying prospect, and he can't help the deep frown in response. ] Oh. That was not something I'd thought of, before, but it might be a wise idea.
Let me help you carry what you choose from the wardrobe, just in case.
I don't really need that much. [ oh! ] It would be helpful if we locate something we could use as bandages. [ just incase any of the destruction escalates ]
A wise thought. A firm, yet flexible, and absorbant material... as well as another more breathable variety for the wounds that might need protection but should be allowed to breathe.
Cottons and linens, respectively, I would think. Perhaps there are robes and shawls we may use. Are you a doctor, young miss?
Ah, an apothecary... respectable trade, and one I feel we'll be needing. But if you would like assistance in rebandaging your arm, I'd be glad to be your assistant. At the very least, I am familiar with emergency field dressing, so helping you strip fabric for bandages will be quite easy.
[ he'll help her look! and if she wants to pass things off to him, he'll help her carry them as they hunt down the right fabrics. ]
[ keeping secrets and promises - so long as it doesn't harm anyone, what would it matter to press when it's hers to keep? should she feel more at ease, then... she will tell him. ]
Belts, perhaps? For tourniquets. I should hope that we will have no need for such a thing, but I can't help but be worried for our lot when some of them are more volatile in personality.

My, how interesting...

It seems there is a wide selection here. [ she knows someone who would love it if the rumors are true. ]

she seems relieved he's normal about clothing though. ]
Is there anything here that looks like it could belong to where you're from? [ she curious how different it is from what she's used to ]

There seems to be a couple others with similar fashion. [ it's interesting and she wonders what else is similar.
Time to see what else there might be. ]
I wonder if we should stock up in case this place vanishes...

I used to work as an apothecary. I also would like them for my own use. [ lifting up her left arm to show the bandages there ]

no subject
It's fine. I would rather avoid the trouble of what questions might arise if anyone sees my arm.
no subject
... understandable. [ more than she knows, maybe. ] But if you change your mind at any time, the offer will remain - with utmost discretion.
no subject
she knows better than to question or refuse someone's kindness so she'll let that thought go. ]
I will keep that in mind.
[ he may be an easier option than many others here. she will wait for him to fold and stack before adding more. ]
Is there anything you would like to add to our collection?
no subject
Belts, perhaps? For tourniquets. I should hope that we will have no need for such a thing, but I can't help but be worried for our lot when some of them are more volatile in personality.
no subject
[ imagine if they took all the belts but left the hot topic ones for everyone else to use ]
Are there more than just the one person who is rowdy? [ maybe she shouldn't give socializing a chance ]
no subject
The eyepatched gentleman is a bit rowdy seeming, but not temperamental the way that the dark-haired young man is.
