[ zhongli doesn't look over his shoulder, hearing someone else coming down the beach sand, once he's found staring out at where the waves should have been rolling in. instead, he frowns, gaze slowly casting across the barren dunes, before going up, up, - taking in the sight of the lighthouse on the hill. ]

[ especially considering the powers that they do have. they're prepared for anything.

We have the rest of the week here, to do whatever we need to do.

We can do a lot more together than apart. And... If it's reacting this much at the beginning of the week, that must mean something, right?
