[ And eventually (it is a long drive), they will end up at Kujukuri beach. While it is not as scenic as other beaches in Japan, it is named for being an incredibly long stretch of beach. Also it has convenient vehicle parking. ]
[ Before getting out of himself and rummaging around in the backseat to pick up a parasol (which he tucks under one arm like a polearm) and a half-empty basket. ]
While I appreciate the beaches closer to the city proper, I must admit sometimes I miss an open skyline.
I enjoy coming out here more often than not, honestly. Less chance of bumping into another person when you're just trying to clear your head, explore, or enjoy somebody elses company. [ glances back at zhongli briefly. ]
... [ oh. ohno. he flushes a light pink and takes his hand, squeezing it as their fingers lace together. ] H- Hahh. Xiansheng... [ don't do this to him! genuine cute affection is a critical KO. ] L- Let's head down toward the beach..?
ā¦this place is beautiful, Xiansheng. [ squeezes his hand again, eyes dipping down to stare at them. ] Itās a shame I never really had a chance to enjoy the sandy shores of Liyue.
Perhaps on our return, we can visit Yaoguang Shoal. It's cooler there since it is so close to Dragonspine. But the sunsets are lovely. And it has been some time since I have been to Mingyun village.
[ Once Zhongli has found a spot far enough from the tide where it won't wash their things away, he begins to one-handedly set up the parasol and beach blanket. ]
I bet I found find it in my busy schedule to take some time off, so we could travel around Liyue. I sincerely doubt I'll be needed for another assignment so soon after... [ trails off and simply clears his throat. ] It's not like the Tsaritsa doesn't have other Harbingers in other parts of Teyvat. [ though childe has his own unique set of skills, so... WHO KNOWS. ]
I'd like to travel with you, Xiansheng. Perhaps sometime you'll come back with me to Snezhnaya.
[ And he steps out of his shoes, placing them near the parasol as he starts to roll up his pant sleeves. ]
If there is one thing I have an abundance of now, it's time. I would be honored to travel with you to Snezhnaya. It has been a long time since I lasted visited the Tsaritsa's realm. Perhaps too long.
And how did that go for you? Kind of seems like things started falling apart, especially since most nations aren't friendly with each other. I mean, look at Inazuma and what's going on there.
It is as with all things, Childe. New ways come replace the ways of old.
In the beginning, there were many more gods and demons. The world was a much more dangerous place. And so the original Archons made a vow to guide the humans that they lead.
The next generations of archons made no such vow. And Baal---
Having eternity as one's domain must be difficult.
It kind of seems like all of you did your job and honored your vow well enough, having gotten humanity to a decent point. Iām sure thatās why none of the new archons made that same vow, and instead focusing on taking things a step further. New goals, new heights, and a new future.
[ he just smirks, looking forward to seeing the tsaritsa and the fatui snuff out that so called eternity. nothing lasts forever, and she certainly isnāt going to. ] Mmā¦
No. Iām just thinking about the future and everything it can and will hold. [ he brings his own hand to his lips, kissing a pair of fingers and then reaching to transfer that kiss to zhongliās lips. ] Like us.

Or you could always lend me some of your body warmth, Xiansheng.

Do you want a hand with any of that, Xiansheng?

Then, as if it takes a long time to decide whether he is actually going to say it or not, he reaches to lace his fingers with Childe's. ]
The only hand I want is yours.

But Zhongli just looks at Childe fondly (he's so cute), squeezing his fingers in return before tugging him toward the beach proper. ]
Okay.
[ And since they are so far away from Tokyo-F proper, they can claim the whole incredibly long stretch of beach to themselves. ]
