[she glances away at the first part - it's not that she doesn't believe it, it's just different.]

Do you? [she's curious.] I met her when the Jade Chamber was being rebuilt in Liyue.

[ohthehumanities]

Yeah. I met her a few months ago. From what I understand, she helped overthrow the Sages.

[bindings]

... Hah. Still doing great and impossible things.

[she rubs at her eye, in that sort of don't be tired way.] Another connection we have.

[ohthehumanities]

That does seem like her. I saw her right before we--[fuckin died]--came here, actually, but it wasn't anything so grand.

[bindings]

I'm glad to hear she's well. [...] It's good to know she isn't here.

[a beat. and then, a little quietly:] If you make it to the end, please tell her that I enjoyed being her friend.

[ohthehumanities]

[Carefully, his gaze searches hers.]

Of course I will. But Shenhe--why are you talking like you're sure you won't make it?

[bindings]

[she shakes her head a little.]

That isn't my intention, if that's what it sounds like. [she doesn't meet his gaze though, looking out at the mcdonald's.] I'd just like to make sure that she knows.

[ohthehumanities]

[He still looks very concerned, but he nods slowly.]

Realistically speaking, you're going to make it much further than I am. [For a lot of reasons, honestly. Normally, he wouldn't be so quick to admit this--he'd have more faith in his own abilities, his drive to do what he must. But in this situation... it's not likely.] But I promise I'll do whatever you need me to. It's never a question.

[bindings]

[she frowns.

realistically speaking she also thinks she's going to make it further than him - it's more a logical thing, he has one less team member, she's sure she's stronger than him, all of that, but. emotionally, she doesn't like it.]

... I will do whatever you need me to, as well. [she says, finally.] Please be careful, Kaveh.
