Yep. All from Teyvat, though more specifically Liyue [ he'll point out those dishes. ] and Snezhnaya. [ and then the others. ] I hope you plan on trying a little bit of each. I spent all day with Five planning this, so it could be nothing short of perfect.
[ childe reaches for the mask hanging off the side of his head and flicks it, sending it spinning in a couple of circles. ] Don't blink, Alexander, or you might miss it. [ his smirk broadens and then, poof, he's gone - a black cat sitting at his feet. ]
Meow.
[ he changes back in a flash and chuckles. ] I promise it's going to get better. [ since he has a little something planned for after they've all gotten comfortable. ]
I would hope so. I pride myself on being able to manipulate countries to do my bidding.
[He rubs the spot after the bap, but he consider it a victory for him.]
Tell me of your favorite dish and of the place it comes from. It is warm or cold? Mountains scattered with trees or flat plainsland. I would like to imagine it.
[ ooooh, he's infuriating! but childe likes a good challenge, so he's going to see if he can't turn the tables on him at some point throughout the night. ]
Hmmm, that's tough, but if I had to pick something I'd pick Borscht from Morepesok. [ his mother's rendition, since no one else seems capable of making it as good as she does. ] And Morepesok is a small sea side village in Snezhnaya, a nation of perpetual winter storms that can last months on end. It's so cold there that you've got to keep moving to avoid freezing to death on the spot. [ he laughs when he says it, clearly not minding snezhnaya's harsh conditions. ] But no matter where you are and how heavy the snowfall the Tsaritsa's Zapolyarny Palace stands tall, like a beacon, for all of Snezhnaya to behold.
It takes someone with a good amount of resilience to weather the storms of Snezhnaya, and it makes it that more difficult for people to not only get to use, but to fight us in a place that they're so pathetically susceptible to. [ laughs. ] But to answer your question, they were always there. Our Archon is also the Cyro Archon, and the element she commands is snow and ice, so it's pretty fitting too.
[ takes the offered food and reaches for a spoon, grabbing a second one for alexander. ]
It's the perfect kingdom for the perfect Archon. I don't mind the snow, since it was all around me when I grew up, but I actually prefer the rain... though that's most definitely got to do with my Vision. If you recall in our shared dream I can wield water to my liking... so a good rainfall is no more than a canvas for me to play with.
Hm~ if you're interested I did get a room upgrade that's a slice of Moresopek. I introduced Five to ice fishing, a hobby of mine, and he didn't exactly enjoy the frigid temperatures, but perhaps with you there to keep him warm it'll be more enjoyable.
I doubt harsh climates are his favorite, but this body's people are from the frigid cold. Though they were pushed there for they were of a race that couldn't master magic like the others. But they do make up for it with precision.
[He can't help but smile.]
We could warm him that way. Or we could bundle him in enough clothes so he's more round than anything. Oh, to see the expression on his face.
And by inhabiting one of their bodies did you adopt that same precision?
He put up with it long enough for me to give him a quick tutorial, but I do think heād be more amicable to going back out onto the lake if we offered to keep him warm. [ he stifles a chuckle at the mental image emetās comment conjures up. ] Iām sure heād have the cutest scowl on his face.
[ he had been curious about that, but onto more important matters like emet being able to fire a bow. ] I bet I could crush you in an archery competition. You mentioned you didnāt like to fight, thatās fair, but how about a friendly little contest among friends?
ā¦yes, I had a lapse in judgement and left him in the cabin while running to the drop box to grab supplies and instantly regretting having done so when I returned. [ but he wonāt do it again. ]
It is. Itās even got a homey canon we can relax in after facing the frigid cold.
You can use your bow, and I my gun. I'm not sure I'll be able to provide suitable competition, but we can see. This was a form meant to rule and conquer, and it was dreadfully tiring to conceal my true abilities. I am a sorcerer by trade.
Truthfully, it has gotten worse, so I wouldn't be too harsh on yourself about it. And now that you do know, I expect you to take the proper precautions which you've stated you will.
Donāt be so hard on yourself until I crush you underfoot. [ snickers. ] We have sorcerers and sorceresses back home, called catalysts, and precision is still key to annihilate a target whether it be with an arrow, a bullet, or even magic.
I definitely donāt intend to let it happen again.
If, ha, I think you mean when. I carried around a bow back home because itās the weapon I consider myself the weakest with, and youāll never get any better if you donāt constantly push yourself to break your own supposed limitations. [ his tail starts twitching excitedly behind him, because an inventive sweetest the deal. ] Itād only be fair, since you got to see one of my other forms.
I doā¦ here. Itās an alternate form of my Foul Legacy due to my being a part of Wild City. I wouldnāt want to show you outside of a dream, because Iād have no control over myself, but itās still fascinating nonetheless.
Of course you would find it fascinating. You don't think I could coral you? I could simply make you forget how to walk. That would put a damper on any rampage you might attempt.
Well now I hope this place gives me a reason to change, so I can test your skills. I just think it'd be infinitely more interesting to do so in a dream, so I could keep control over myself and *play* with you properly. I don't really like the idea of running around as some rabid hell beast, where's the fun in that?
That I can understand. What a severe corruption! I do not envy you.
But I will invite you to play again in dreams when all is more stable. I might even ask how your day was before throwing you to the wolves so to speak.

Re: day 379, night - double date.
If you end up pulling off your face like a mask and revealing you are Black from Taisho, I'm not sure if I would be surprised.
But thank you. It is lovely, both the presentation and the location.
Are you nervous?

Meow.

Re: day 379, night - double date.
Me? Nervous. Pah! What gave you that idea? [ he's absolutely nervous. ]
Re: day 379, night - double date.
[He laughs and he kneels taking his chin into his hand.]
Relax. You are among people who are quiet fond of you.
[And he kisses the top of his head.]
Re: day 379, night - double date.
I should [ clears his throat. ] hope so. Itās be an awkward double date otherwise.
[ baps his face with his tail after heās kissed. ] You are a menace. [ /// ]

[He does serve up some of the Borscht, though he hands the first plate to Caeli.]

Re: day 379, night - double date.
When I am feeling better, show it to me. Your castle and land of ice and snow. It sounds rather marvelous.

Re: day 379, night - double date.
[He taps the thing in the center of his forehead.]
It's a third eye though it doesn't function as the other two, but my aim with a gun or bow is better than most for it.
In such harsh scenarios the more people, the better. Desolate wastelands of any kind are rather difficult for him.
And this is off of your room in Wild City?
