[ 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. ]
⦠[ turns his head and bites him. not hard, but just enough to relay his displeasure for the comment. donāt call him cute while he canāt defend himself-! he changes back after another minute, sitting in zhongliās lap a bit uncomfortably. ]
I donāt know whatās going on, Xiansheng. If this is a cold, which it couldnāt possibly be, then this transformative side effect isnāt normal.
[ at least he didnāt bite hard enough to break his teeth. ]
No. Iām not even sure they could make something like this. [ sighs, bonking his head on zhongliās shoulder. ] I canāt remember the last time I got sick, but of course it had to ha- h- happenachoo. [ heās quick to cover his mouth, but this time the transformation is a big and slimy octopus - one thatās currently draped on zhongli, since childe had been sitting in his lap. enjoy those suckers. ]
[ itās going to be a little hard to get it off, since those suckers are good at clinging to things! but zhongli will be able⦠though childeās big octo head is just going to sort of cave in on itself as he basically melts into the floor. oozes just a little closer to zhongli, one of his tentacles grabbing at his ankles. ]

Grabs a throw blanket and tucks it around Childe's shoulders. ]
Perhaps.
Will you pardon my caution in the meantime?

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.

Do not give into the base instinct to fling the octopus as far away from oneself as godly possible.
Do.
