Venti: Zhongli, you're giving everyone a fright for taking the Mondstadt kids. Zhongli: (smiles smugly) Whatever do you mean?...

Venti: Zhongli, you’re giving everyone a fright for taking the Mondstadt kids.

Zhongli: (smiles smugly) Whatever do you mean? They went with me by their own volition.

Venti: Wipe your smug face. How will you explain to these kids that you will be leaving for Liyue tomorrow?

Noelle: Leaving? But what if Mr. Zhongli requires my assistance?

Klee: NOOO!! (hugs Zhongli’s neck) I wanna hear more of my mother’s story from Mr. Zhongli.

Sucrose: B-but Mr. Zhongli said he’ll help me locate all bones in Mondstadt’s ancient temple.

Diona: -And recipes!! I am this close to making the perfect non-alcoholic drink with Mr. Zhongli’s advice!

Razor: (gives defeated puppy look) Lupical…can’t leave. Helps Razor hunt boar fast.

Venti: (to Jean) Now you see why I’m worried if the kids are getting attached?

Jean: (facepalm) This is harder than I thought…
