I'd like that.

[ he watches him pat himself down for a bit before he just offers him his phone ]

I can just send it over to you after, you know.

Sure, that works. [ takes five’s phone and swiftly navigates to the camera, giving him another kiss as he angles the phone to snap a picture of five’s candid reaction to it. he chuckles afterward, giving him a bright smile. ] Bet that’s a nice picture!

[ He'll get a great shot of him blushing because of course he didn't expect that, though he should have ]

That's playing dirty.

It is not.

It is.

[ but he will have to just do the same, grabbing on his shirt to pull him down and give him a quick kiss on the cheek as he reaches for his phone to snap another picture ]

Now who's playing dirty, sensei! [ he doesn't seem to mind the behavior in the slightest, instead immediately trying to look at the picture taken. ] How cute.

Shall we try the same on Zhongli and Alexander?

Well I know I'm going to make Alexander blush if I pull this on him, but you, after talking to him I feel like Zhongli will defeat you on that front in no time.

Have faith in me, sensei. I'll make Zhongli Xiansheng blush no problem.

[ he laughs at that ]

All right, I'll wait and see.

[ five is going to get to see this trainwreck... and for the remainder of the night childe will probably just be red faced and trying not to keel over and die. ]

[ guess who knows several languages. He won't interrupt them but he will look smug the entire time ]

[ he is going to wander over to five sometime after all that’s happened and shove a hand in his face to hide the smugness. ]

Don’t say anything sensei.

I didn't say anything.

But you two are very cute. And he's sweet - you deserve that.

[ wow, how can you say that, all of this affection is going to kill him. ]

[ he looks aside, seemingly at a loss for words. ]

[ Okay, that's a little worrying because he expected embarrassment, not just this. And he knows Childe already feels like he'll ruin everything ]

This is what I meant when I warned you that sometimes I get overwhelmed when people are very affectionate toward me.

Are you okay?

I… I’m fine, yeah, it’s just a lot, unexpected too. It’s just hard to accept, since… ah, anyway, I’m fine. [ cracks a small lopsided smile. ] And I’m lucky for people like you and Zhongli Xiansheng. Even your fiancé, Alexander.

Well, you have been very charming. And I'm glad to see you and Alexander are getting along well.

I’m glad too. I told him I should bring everybody to my cabin and that the two of us would do an exceptional job at keeping you and Xiansheng warm.

[ Well time for his face to go red again ]

I suppose it's fine with company.

I won't make the same mistake I did last time.

... It wasn't that big a deal. I could handle it.

[ HE STILL FEELS BAD. ]

Have you ever been ice skating, sensei?

Not really no. Are you thinking about it?

I was just thinking of other things we could do while there, since I'm probably the only one that's going to enjoy ice fishing.

Ice skating. Snowball fighting. We could see who can build the best snowman.

Not that I'm opposed to it, but you know you don't need me and Alexander along to have a nice date with Zhongli, right?
