[ He tries to avoid the wings but alas at some point he gets a faceful of feathers.

Gently maneuvering them so he can make sure they have fully healed. ]

It seems the Abyssal corruption is receding rather than spreading.

[whistlesthewind]

Maybe because you took such good care of me? It feels really good in here....

[leaveofabsence]

I did nothing but promote the presence of anemo energy in this space. It probably pales in comparison to the refuge you have in Windrise.

[ Taps him on the edge of one wing ]

Now if you would kindly turn and look at me.

[whistlesthewind]

[turns towards him]

It's remarkably close--you did well. I'm not sure how you managed.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Makes a small tutting sound ]

Your eye has not improved.

[whistlesthewind]

[.....................pushing his bangs to flop over it to hide it]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Oh.

Was that insensitive? ]

Hiding it does not fix the problem.

[ That is probably also insensitive. ]

[whistlesthewind]

I don't know how to fix it.

It doesn't hurt as much as it did though? I can feel the difference but its more hmm settled.

[leaveofabsence]

That is good to hear.

It gives us time to consult other resources as we look for a cure. I shall send word to Madame Ping and Cloud Retainer to see if they have any suggestions.

[ He places a hand carefully on top of Venti's head ]

[whistlesthewind]

Do you want a thank you for all this help?

[leaveofabsence]

If you wish to stand on ceremony.

But I know you would do the same were our positions reversed.

[whistlesthewind]

[leans up

smooch on the nose]

Thank you, Zhongli.

[letting his wings fade, put away to where ever those go]

[



Oh. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Ahem. He clears his throat ]

You're very welcome, Barbatos.

But you are not yet free of me until all of the corruption is clear.

[whistlesthewind]

Eheh....

Well, I cannot say when or if I will completely heal. But you have your connections. And I think perhaps our traveler could aid us as well.

[leaveofabsence]

You will completely heal. I will not accept anything less.

[whistlesthewind]

I cannot tell if that is a threat or not.

[leaveofabsence]

It's only a threat if you do not comply.

[whistlesthewind]

You know I'm not fighting against better health! I am compliant as can be! Look at me!

[leaveofabsence]

Ah, your blood pressure is rising.

[ Do anemo wisps even have blood pressure? ]

[whistlesthewind]

Being full of blood is so strange, Morax.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Hmmmm ]

Did you think being a wisp would make things better?

You could sit on my shoulder.

[whistlesthewind]

You just want me to be even smaller, don't you!

[leaveofabsence]

Yes, and---?

[whistlesthewind]

[laughs and reverts to wisp form and

gosh its been so long since you've seen him like this. as rare as his grand winged form is, this is even more rare. he does a few flips in the air before flittering around Zhongli in circles before spiraling up high and then letting himself drift down to settle on Zhongli's shoulder with all the weight of a butterfly]
