Of course.

[ 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.

[childeishly]

[ childe shrugs his jacket off and just throws it to the side, kicking off his boots and doing the same. ]

Were you two close?

[leaveofabsence]

To the best of my ability, I tried to stay on good terms with the rest of the Seven. I felt it was my duty as the eldest.

Rising to become an Archon--- it is a complicated experience.

[childeishly]

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.

[leaveofabsence]

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.

[childeishly]

It kind of seems like all of you did your job and honored your vow well enough, having gotten humanity to a decent point. I’m sure that’s 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 isn’t going to. ] Mm…

[leaveofabsence]

[ Side-eyes ]

Should I inquire as to what that smile is for?

[childeishly]

No. I’m 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 zhongli’s lips. ] Like us.
