[ he smiles in greeting and joins zhongli at his table, taking moment to get his chao situated as well. we mutual love hot tea (literal) and calm vibes in this house 😌 ]
I'm pleased to hear it is to your liking. And, if you so desire, perhaps you might find a slice of home here as well.
[ he knows some people have complicated ties, so not making any assumptions... but, ah. there is some palpable curiosity (and concern) here. ]
[ kedou gives chaobao an offer of sharing its songlotus cake, placid and just vibing. ]
Perhaps. I'd not thought of it yet, but I do miss Liyue - it would just be a matter of narrowing down what, precisely, would be the right choice.
[ he carefully holds his own sleeve with one hand, using the other to pour another cup of tea for jing yuan. it's peaceful and... well, they need it, don't they. ]
... he's the sort who hides the depths of his emotions, isn't he. [ not so much a question as just. fact. ] Things have been hard for him, but he has many who treasure him, who will make sure that he carries no burden alone. Even if I think he has a hard time comprehending such a thing in full.
[ cute... chaobao accepts the songlotus cake and munches noisily on it. it then tries to roll one of the berrypheasant skewers at kedou, with a quiet chao noise. ]
Is there a wrong or right choice, when it comes to what you wish to see of your home?
[ asked curiously. jing yuan taps his fingers on the table in gratitude when his cup is filled, and will pour zhongli his next refill of tea in turn.
he smiles and nods at the comment about jiaoqiu. ] Yes, I believe so. [ to everything. ] It would be remiss of me not to worry after him, but from what I've been able to see, I trust he's in capable hands.
[ friendship... kedou will happily take the berrypheasant skewer, figuring out how best to hold it and looking like it's trying to eat an oversized corncob with it. ]
Mm... no, but there is a delicate balance to maintain when it comes to a few of our restaurants, specifically. One cannot have Liuli Pavilion without Xinyue Kiosk, as that would decide the rivalry for them without giving the other a chance.
[ a slight dip of his head is his response to the tap, and he's glad to take turns with pouring the tea as he considers jing yuan across from him. ]
I understand. Were another from Teyvat here - especially from Liyue - I would be in much the same position of worry. But we are fortunate that a sense of community formed quickly after arrival.

also that gets a quiet laugh from him. ]
Ah, it wouldn't do to invite strife into heaven. Though, considering where we are, this may be the one place they can peacefully co-exist...?
[ por que no los dos? but he nods again. ]
It has been reassuring to see everyone take care of one another. It is only a shame that our time here is marred with tragedy.
[ his mood stays calm though, reflective. there's a sense of both gratitude and sympathy. ]
