[ It's fine. Childe probably enjoys the manhandling. And Zhongli definitely enjoys the touches that linger just a bit too long to be justified as him helping getting Childe out of his clothes.
[ as soon as heās half undressed he pulls away - tracking a bit of water through the room as he grabs the first aid kit zhongli had grabbed for himself just a few moments prior. ]
Later.
[ smiles, motioning for him to take a seat on the bed. ] ā¦bush really did a number on you, hm. [ let him take care of you first! you need the healing touch, Zhongli. ] what did you order us anyway?
It wouldn't be a proper ski trip if someone didn't get hurt, and at least this isn't too bad. [ he's going to clean out the cuts and scrapes and then start bandaging. ] Oh, that sounds nice, especially after being in the co- a- ahchoo! [ turns his head aside to sneeze into the crook of his arm, crinkling his nose afterward. ]
[ takes it with a huff and gets up from the bed to head into the bathroom. he strips out of the remainder of his clothes and just throws on a simple pair of pants. he cleans up just like he said he would, though when he comes back out his nose is pretty red. ]
[ Zhongli does not even hide how his eyes trail appreciatively over Childe's chest and abs before he beckons him over with one hand to join him on the sofa. ]
[ itās hard not to bask in the attention, especially when itās coming from somebody like zhongli. ] Coming. [ smirks, ] missing me already? [ he plops down onto the couch and leans into zhongli, stifling another sneeze for better or for worse. ] ah, Sorry Xiansheng.
Huh, no!, Iām fine. [ he says⦠and then he turns his head aside to sneeze into the hankerchief zhongli have given to him. ] Just adjusting to the temperature difference inside and outside.
⦠[ itās so hard to tell zhongli to stop. ] Of course, Xiansh- [ but this sneeze leads to him disappearing! or⦠that may be what it seems like, since he changes into a rabbit and gets stuck under the blanket zhongli tried to put around him. he noses around, trying to get out, because he canāt even relay his frustration in this form! w- what the heck is going on?! ]
Zhongli Xiansheng, I think I can managed blowing my no- achoo! [ another sneeze and heās a raccoon, the box of tissues heād been holding bonking him on the head. he makes a face and chitters angrily. ]
[ makes a sad raccoon face at him, crinkling his nose once zhongli has taken care of it. yeah, kind of seems like that may be the case⦠but how! from that cold?! thatās ridiculous. heās going to pad closer to zhongli and climb up onto his knees and smush his furry face into his chest and chitter some more. ]
[ Despite having an affinity for birds and flowers, Morax was never very good with dealing with anything small and delicate. Three story dragons carved of stone was more his specialty.
He carefully cradles the raccoon in his arms, one finger scritching between the two ears. ]

[ He's already trying to strip Childe out of his wet outer layers and hangs them out to dry. ]
I do not believe I saw that as an activity here.
no subject
[ heās probably not making this part easy since heās not helping. ] Or we could just walk around the grounds if you just wanted to enjoy the snow.
no subject
As he drags the fingertips across one hip. ]
I believe I could be convinced of both.
Later, of course.
no subject
Later.
[ smiles, motioning for him to take a seat on the bed. ] ā¦bush really did a number on you, hm. [ let him take care of you first! you need the healing touch, Zhongli. ] what did you order us anyway?
no subject
[ And he plops down on the bed, extending the arm that took the worst of it. ]
Some hot tea and soup. The udon here is particularly recommended.

[ And he reaches for a handkerchief to properly wipe his nose.
And his arm. ]

And change into some dry clothes.

Better? [ aka like the view? ]

[ And Zhongli places a hand on Childe's forehead. ]
Are you feeling unwell?
no subject
[ heās warmer than usual. ]
no subject
Grabs a throw blanket and tucks it around Childe's shoulders. ]
Perhaps.
Will you pardon my caution in the meantime?
no subject
no subject
Childe...?
[ And Zhongli carefully tries to lift the blanket, barely even seeing the small floof move around under there. ]
no subject
[ this canāt be happening⦠]
no subject
He holds out his hands, palm cupped, for Childe to climb into. ]
Did you mean to do that?
no subject
I didnāt mean to do that, no. [ carefully climbs off zhongli, swiftly heading into the bathroom to blow his nose. ]
no subject
But before Zhongli can grab hold of Childe, he's up and moving toward the bathroom. So this time Zhongli is following close on his heels. ]
Please allow me to accompany you.

I believe you are ill.

[ he angy. ]

He carefully cradles the raccoon in his arms, one finger scritching between the two ears. ]
You are terribly cute like this.
