[she doesn't need it, but she'll take it because she's sort of been trained into doing this over the past week. it doesn't bother her. she likes touch more than she thought she would.
she climbs out of the gondola, and just leaves her hand where it is. if he wants to hold it that's fine, if he lets go, that's also fine. she doesn't have a preference.]
[ he will let go, because ultimately, he is a skittish cat now that touch week is over, but!! he will take her into the exhibit, leading the way.
stopping in the center rotunda area, he gestures from left to right, to two different exhibit areas. I am just making shit up I don't know what this looks like. ]
[ then he will lead the way! in fact, as they enter the exhibit, he will take them towards the very first exhibit, a set of ye olde ancient china armor and swords. he comes to a stop in front of the cases, chuckling a little. ]
It's all behind a glass case, which I doubt you should try and break.
Let's see... Tang dynasty. There's a plaque with a bit of information right there.
[o fuck. this is relevant to shenhe's interests - she's not really big on armor and polearms are more her thing, but she is interested in swords nonetheless! she looks slightly pouty about not being allowed to break the glass, but. that's fine.
Hundreds of years ago, for me. [ as for the familiarity remark, he makes a soft "mm?" noise, interested... and, idly; ] You know, this is a bit familiar to me, too.
[ he looks a little smug looking at this set of armor but it's fine. ] Is this similar to what people you know might wear...?
[ ohhh... fascinating? he perks up a little at the idea, turning to meet her eyes. ]
It might be possible - your name wouldn't be that out of place in Yan City, either. Wouldn't that be fascinating? Imagine our situations were reversed, and instead, I was dropped into the place that you live, instead of you in a city.

Sure. The mountains. [ charming. as they're coming up towards the path with the museum, he looks pleased with this general assessment. ]
And good! I'd be doing something very wrong if I was - I don't think I've ever been accused of it.
[ mr life of the party, fei du. as they dock, he gets up and out through the stairs and offers his hand to help her up, not that she needs it. ]

Where to first? Arms and armor, or artwork?
no subject
The arms and armor. [is her like, immediate answer. she reaches to fix her braid, absently, waiting for him to go first - she likes to follow.]
I wonder if it's possible to take any of the weapons.

she peers at the plaque.] The Tang dynasty?

[why is he smug does he own this armor at home or something]
... You come from Earth, don't you?
no subject
I do.
[ a little nod. ] Why do you ask?
no subject
[she looks a little more closely at the armor, and then glances at him.]
And your name is not one I would find out of place on the streets of Liyue.

no subject
I wonder if you would like Liyue. [she thinks the answer to this is no, but like. y'know.] The technology is nowhere close to that of your cities.

[ fantasy china... ]
no subject
[...] But it's beautiful, too. The lanterns are especially pretty at night.
[like she'll basically just describe this, it's literally ancient fantasy china]
