[ 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?

I know that. Alexander asked about where I'm from, so I told him about Snezhnaya and mentioned that the closest anybody can come to it is that room I have, so I figured I'd show him. I can just *not* invite you and Zhongli along though, but I figured it might be more fun that way.

Oh, so you're having a date with my fiancé instead. Should I start to be jealous?

Oh, absolutely, I plan on wooing him with a snowball straight to the face. [ laughs. ]

If you’d rather I just take him that’s fine, but I like spending time with everybody and do you think I’d pass up an opportunity to try to make sensei blush some more?

Well. I can see it'd be fun and I'm glad you're getting use out of that upgrade, so. We can do that.

I hope you know you’re going down, sensei. [ snickers, nudging him gently. ] But, yeah, I often go there even on my own just to relax. It was real nice of you to get it for me. [ pecks his cheek. ]

[ he will let him !!! ]

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it this much. …though speaking of further double dates.

Does Zhongli know about us?

He knows you're very near and dear to me, but I've been taking things one at a time, although I did want to talk to you about something... but that's something for after this.

Do I need to worry?

I don't know. No? Prrrrobably not?

Okay that's not helping.

Is it good news or is it bad news?
