I see. I'll make sure you're a comfortable as possible so you can sleep tonight, then. [ he'll glance back over his shoulder with a smile that looks reassured for the most part by the other's words. ]

Does it really? Not that I'm unhappy to hear it, but I wonder what you must feel about me for you to still recall me while many others in Liyue you could confide in. Regardless... you don't have to be alone anymore., and if being here is really helping you, then I can only be grateful you made it here... even if I don't approve of your lack of being properly dressed for this type of climate. I'll make sure you have proper outdoor wear from now on.

[ he's trying not to admit it but Zhongli's hands feel good on his skin. Thinking like that is getting too comfortable, though, isn't it? Even if he's sure Zhongli isn't going me with him again if he lets himself Lower his guard around him, but he knows that it'll end badly for the both of them with Zhongli's condition. Zhongli will eventually forget him and that could be as soon as tomorrow.

Still, he wants to actually help, and it doesn't seem right to be keeping his guard up with Zhongli as he does so. So unless he is willing to just... soothe Zhongli and not feel anything while feeling something?

That sounds like an even worse idea. ]
